Schalk and I started dating after chatting for a few months. I was at varsity and he was playing rugby for the Valke at the time. We knew each other from high school and that was that. After months of dates and getting to know each other a little better he finally asked me to be his girlfriend and the rest was history. After almost four years of dating he finally popped the question...
We went for a well deserved holiday in Abu Dhabi to visit his dad. One day he dropped me in the mall saying he and his father is going to spent a little time together, knowing that I'm not going to complain, because I just love the mall, I agreed to it. Time passed and the came to fetch me at the mall, so Schalk just told me we are going to a nice hotel in the evening. We stayed in a very nice suite and went for dinner on a very nice golf course with a beautiful view a long the coast line. Schalk was showing me something on the golf course and when I turned around he got down on one knee and asked me to spend the rest of my life with him. The answer was YES of course!!!
Our whole wedding highlight for us it couldn't have been more perfect, but something that stood out for us or that we wanted to stand out is our grandparents that has passed away to still make it feel like they are with us and still appreciate them for what the have done for us in our life's.
We went on an amazing honeymoon, one week we went to Paris, because it was my life long dream to go to Disney Land and then the next week we just went to relax in the beautiful Maldives.
The wedding look that I went for was elegant, but still very dramatic and over the top. That is just the way I like it, Anel Botha designed my three STUNNING, OUT OF THIS WORLD wedding dresses. Cindy Loots van Zyl did my gorgeous, soft with a pop of color makeup. My beautiful ashy curly hair was done by Lizelle Schmit from Image Creators. Julindi King from Rockabella provided my show stopper jewellery and I pre-order my Cinderella Jimmy Choo wedding shoes a year in advantage for my fairy tale wedding.
We got married just outside of Klerksdorp at Le Souvenir, the venue met all my needs to capture my dream wedding.
All I wanted was FLOWERS, FLOWERS and more FLOWERS!!! White, crystals, rose gold with a splash of blush pink. I wanted the guests to feel like they are walking into a magical forest when entering the reception.
Schalk and his groomsmen wore electric blue suits and all the suits was made by the Smartguy in Pretoria.
All the bridesmaids wore a simple a-line cut dress that was made of rose gold sequins material. It was very important for me that everyone looks exactly the same. The bridesmaids gorgeous dresses was made by Jose De Canha Couture.
Our marriage officer was our church priest. It was very special for me, because he married my parents as well.
Kallah & Ohr Photography captured our special day. The are both just a stunning couple and work so well together.
No, we did not have a wedding planner to coordinate the day. I did everything by myself because this is something that I like doing. And I just had a ball doing this on my own and seeing how everything came together.
For our wedding transport we made use of Daly BMW. So we only used the X range BMW's for transport.
Abri from Abri's catering made the delicious food with the company of Milana.Our show stopper, six tier wedding cake was made by The Cake Boutique.
Lilly Young did the design and print of our wedding stationery.
We believe that we are not just designing an invitation, but that we are writing the opening paragraph to a love story. And we take this responsibility to heart.
We partied till 02:00 am in the morning. This was very important to us that we have a LEKKER DJ and Ben Botha made it possible from Road Show Entertainment. Johan C Venter was our MC and he did a tribute song to our grandparents that has passed away and he also sang one of his songs to opened the dance floor with.
