My Bridal Beauty Regime

My training routine consisted of going to gym 3-4x per week. I was eating super healthy and drinking lots of water!

Wedding Elements

The decor for our wedding was all centered around the theme of "moody romantic" we were tired of the traditional pretty and pastel wedding looks. So we decided to use colours like black, burgundy and plenty greenery!
long rustic wooden tables with ghost chairs and gorgeous bushy runners of greenery mixed with gorgeous flowers and fruit and Vegetables as well as tall gold candelabras. Our main table was highlighted with a a beautiful backdrop from La Chandelier which was designed by the talented Hieke.
this backdrop is where we took our table decor inspiration from, we brought the backdrop to life along the guests tables.
