Magical Moments

 

We had the most amazing wedding day! Sometimes you hear about brides complaining of things that went wrong and things that wasn't suppose to be like this and so on but I can truly say that our day was perfect from the very moment I opened my eyes. Funny moment of the day, normally you will hear that the bride is late but not in our case because our priest was caught is traffic and he was late LOL!!! A few weeks before the wedding we were completely done with aal our planning and could not wait for the day to come.

The Honeymoon

 

Yes we did. A few months before the weeding he asked me where I wanted to go for honeymoon and I said to him, "please just take me to Cape Town." This was my first time ever in Cape Town and I had the most wonderful time!! We went to the V & A Waterfront, the aquarium, the rugby museum and he even took me on my first boat trip. Well it's not really a boat trip it was a sunset cruise. We had so much fun and I enjoyed it so much!! Could not have made a better choice for a honeymoon destination.

My Special Day

My wedding dress is a one of a kind. I am the only granddaughter on my mothers side, so I asked my granny to make my weeding dress for me it was just perfect!!! She made it exactly like I wanted it. I went for a classy look. LOL my shoes,! I bought my wedding shoes a week before the wedding on special at Mr Price! All my jewelry and accessories was something borrowed. My aunt is very special to me so I borrowed her necklace and her tiara that she wore on her wedding day. I am not the earring type of girl so my husband bought me the most beautiful earrings just for the wedding. My make up was done by Anneli van Heerden, and my hair was done by Retha Bezuidenhout. I also went for a classic look on both hair and make up.

Wedding Elements

We went for a plain and simple but elegant classy look. We had one fishbowl on each table with water babies in and 3 flowers, next to the bowl we had a square bowl with white pebbles and a floating candle in. Our color scheme was Purple, Turquoise and gray. So we had each table another color. We used Snow-don Chrysants, Lisianthus and Gyp.

My Groom And His Groomsmen

My husband wore a grayish suit and the groomsmen wore gray waistcoats with different ties.

Beautiful Bridesmaids

My bridesmaid wore also special made infinity dresses (also by my granny). The flower girls was inspired by Tinkerbell, with their dresses that was also made by my granny.
