There are so many wonderful moments that took place during our wedding day and even though the day went by in a flash, there were some moments that stood out and will be remembered more than others.
My memorable moments are:
1. When my father opened the door and saw me for the first time in my wedding gown, I still tear up looking back at the photos
YES!!!! We went on a cruise for our honeymoon. It was our first time doing a cruise, so we were beyond excited! The MSC Sinfonia cruise ship took us the beautiful Portuguese Islands in the Mozambique.. We took part in all activities, on board or off shore.. We met fantastic couples, danced, played games, swam in the ocean and sipped on cocktails all day long! What a stunning experience this was for us!
I would describe my wedding look as bohemian/boho, as that was the theme of our wedding day.
Hair: I used clip in hair extensions that I ordered online from Frontrow clip in hair. My hairdresser, Tracy, from Rock Paper Scissors matched my own hair to the blonde extensions. I went for a relaxed style, with loose curls. We added a rose gold hair piece that I bought from Lovisa accessories.
Makeup: The very talented Laura from Blush Beauty did my makeup. Her work is different and that's what I love about her!
Wedding dress: This dress is so very sentimental to me.. My mother made my wedding dress, how amazing is that!! Every piece of lace, button, lining, handcrafted by my dearest mother. My dress was a tight fitted halter neck, with a round train at the back. The edging of my dress had stunning lace details. My dress was perfect, thank you "mamma".
Shoes: Shoe shopping was very easy for me, I knew exactly what I wanted and what colour it had to be.. Steve Madden Blush pink heels, with detailed bead work_ something DIFFERENT!
Accessories: I kept it bare minimal, as I wanted my dress to make the statement. Rose gold hoop earings from Lovisa & my mothers crystal bracelets.
We got married at the stunning Blue Barn venue located just outside East London, on a small holding called Mooi Plaas. I saw this venue on instagram and I remember telling my mother, this is the place I want to get married at one day. And so it came true! When my husband and I walked into the Blue Barn for the first time, we knew that this was it, this was the place! We did not even bother looking at other venues! Stephanie, the owner of Blue Barn is such a lovely person, and she is so very talented! The unique touches of Blue Barn is what makes the venue so exquisite!
