My Wedding Inspiration

 

My Special Day

The dress was made by Adde Creations, a mix of a formal white wedding gown, mixed with a traditional piece, navy blue in colour. With white high heel shoes. Make-up by a friend Nwabisa from Cape Town. Silky hair piece by my cousin Nosisi. Jewellery by American Swiss. Neck piece matching the navy blue by Nwabisa. Overall beautiful look indeed.

The Venue

In D'Almeida, Mossel Bay. The guest could not stay the night we had to travel for the traditional ceremony.

My Bridal Beauty Regime

The most aspect I watched the most was eating, as I did not want any weight gain and struggle with the dress. I did manage to maintain my weight reasonably well, I did not struggle at all with the dress. I also sis self maintain the beauty and other aspects in relation to that.

Wedding Elements

The Decor had a mix of white and navy-blue draping and table settings. The flowers were also arranged in white and navy-blue. Unfortunately we missed the lighting arrangements as the lighting guys were not found on the last minute.

My Groom And His Groomsmen

The groom wore a navy-blue suit from Edgars, the gents khaki chinos and white tops, also from Edgars.

Beautiful Bridesmaids

The bridesmaids wore blue dresses made by Adde creations.

Marriage Officer

Pastor Mthunzi Tokota

My Captured Moments

Spitch Photographers. We took a lot of photos at the Mossel Bay Museum.

The Wedding Planner

We did everything ourselves.

Wedding Transport

We were transported in a Toyota Fortuner by a family friend. Everyone else used their cars, no other special arrangements.

Wedding Stationery

JDL Printing in George.

The Reception and Entertainment

We did not really have a party, we had to travel on the same day. We did have some dancing thought. No organized DJ or live band.
