We got married at Die Akker just outside of Pretoria. It is a lovely country venue. Our guests stayed the night at the on-site guesthouse as well as guesthouses close to the venue

I was not stressed about our wedding seeing as I know that good planning is key. You can arrange a wedding in 3 months if your planning is right. I knew exactly what I wanted for our perfect day and it made planning it so much easier. I had a big file with a lot of different sections to it. I went for teeth whitening a few days before the wedding and it worked wonders. I had a pamper session at Tammy Taylor Lynnwood which included spraytan, waxing, nails and champagne.
I made my own bouquet as well as the ones for my bridesmaids. We had a lot of fairy lights and oil glass candles. We had leaf runners on the tables with light purple roses in between. Our thank you gifts were small plastic jars with kettle corn inside that said thanks for poppin by. My cousin was our ring bearer and he had a badge that said ring security.
The groom and his crew all had matching underpants that had their name as well as groom crew on it. They wore khaki shorts, vellies and white shirts. They had badges that said groomsman followed by their name. My husband also wore suspenders. We got their clothes from Old Khaki and shoes from van Heerden leather. I got him a Daniel Klein watch from Roma Gioieli for a wedding gift.
My bridesmaids wore custom made tutu skirts with cowboy boots and a check shirt. Their skirts were made by a friend of my mom who makes the most amazing tutu’s. She also made my flower girls dress which was also a tutu dress with cowboy boots. They all looked amazing and we had lots of champagne and laughs while getting ready. My bridesmaids wore white robes and I wore a peach robe. This is just to change it up a bit.
Our marriage officer was Dr Ernrich Basson who is also a close family friend. I have known him for years and we as a couple is very special to him.
Our photographer was Maryke Oberholzer and she is amazing! She did our very first couple photoshoot. From that moment we knew that we would be using her forever!
No I did everything by myself. We did have an in-house wedding assistant that day who was amazing.
I went in a horse carriage like a real princess. Loved every minute of it.
Food was done by the venue and it was amazing!!! Our wedding cake was made by chef Nicolas van der Walt from FBI Chef School in Johannesburg. This is also where I did my chef training. Our cake was 3 tier red velvet with white chocolate paste which was painted to look like tree bark. We had chocolate roses and sugar pinecones as decoration on our cake.
