The absolute highligts of my day:
The first moment my dad saw me in my dress
My mother and sister being with me the whole day and just being so helpful and amazing
When opening my husbands present
The first glimps of the wonderfull man waiting for me at the alter
My first kiss as a Botha member
My first dance
Dancing with my father
Everyone having a great time.l

The decor was unbelievable and exactly what I wanted. A mixture between elegant and a wild forest. In the church it consisted of hanging lanterns filled with candles, roses and penigums. At the reception it had a chandelier filled with flowerd hanging in the center of the dance floor. Hanging flower rings and an arch behing the main table. And the guest tables, it had big 1m champaign glasses filled with water and roses, a big tree branch coming out of the glass containing fairy lights, roses, crystals and glass bowls filled with little flowers. All sitting in a flower bouquet at the bottom.
Other decor included welcoming bords, a photobooth, rented standing umbrella's.
The groomsmen wore navy pants (Woolworths), a white shirt and tan shoes with a tan bowtie and
The groom:
A navy suite (Black Tie)
Tan shoes
Tan belt and tie (Bushveltd Leather)
The bridesmaids wore navy blue 3 quarter dresses from Forever New, with cream shoes of their own choice and jewelry from Lovisa. A similar look with the colours was found and inspired me on Pintrest.

JC Crafford and his team has done an amazing job with the photography, videography and a photobooth. They have captured some unexplainable moments and were an amazing team to work with.
The wedding planner was Sunette from L'Aquila Country Estate.
The food and wedding cake was all prepared by our amazing venue, L'Aquila Country Estate.
The stationary was all designed and printed through me(the bride) and the help from my loving mother and sister.
Our sound was done by Deca. A band that plays violin and guitar. Afterwards the reception was done by our DJ, Jan-Hendrik, as well as some lightning.
