My highlights and memorable moments of our big day was everything leading up to the ‘I do’s’ getting ready with my 6 bridesmaids, laughing, dancing, drinking champagne and just enjoying every minute of our morning. The moments I wil never forget is the moment I saw my mother, mother in law and of course the moment I saw my dad, that was the moment the tears started to flow. As I’m walking to the aisle my hart started to raise and the tears started to flow again. The one moment that will be in my heart forever is the moment I saw my beautiful husband to be crying and standing at the end of the aisle waiting for me, with tears in his eyes...!*
We will never forget the guest laughter, dancing and just the pure joy they had for us as celebrated our big day till the early morning.
This was the best day of our lives and we had the privilege to spend it with lots of family and friends..
Our moment that we will always cherish together is when we stood in a corner for a few minutes just looking at everyone, dancing, laughing and just enjoying our night that we’ve dreamed about for the past 6 years..!*
Our honeymoon was absolutely one big adventure.
We went to Cancun in Mexico and what an experience it was..!*
Learning their culture, visiting one of the 7 wonders of the world, seeing an underwater museum, zip lining threw the Mexican forest and best of all experiencing an fantastic evening at Cirque du solei.
This was a honeymoon to remember as we didn’t only experience Mexico but New York aswell.
Yes we experienced New York for one night and boy was it amazing. We went to go see the New York Yankees against the Boston Red sock in an epic baseball game and straight after we went to time square.
What an unbelievable experience and trip this was.
My wedding look was everything and anything princess..!*
My dress was designed by the most wonderful wedding dress boutique in Pretoria- Calegra Bridal House, where the designer, boutique owner and her assistant treated me as if I was the only bride they have, every dress fitting, alteration and just because I want to see my dress was made special by them, as they made sure they remember you and everything you told them about your special day.
My hair was done by my very special friend that has her own salon ( blush boutique) it was in a long ponytail (as my husband loves ponytails) with a braid on the side and the ponytail was curled.
Make was done by the Love Mignon at Tailor Rose creations. Just a natural look with dramatic eyes as I’m not the usual girly, girly.
Shoes was flat shoes and perfect for me..!* We order my shoes and my bridesmaids shoes for Blu Betty.
And all my accessories came from Lovisa.
We got married in Pretoria at a newish wedding venue De La Mas. This venue is absolutely fantastic, especially if you want an outdoor wedding but don’t want your guests to travel far.
Our guests didn’t sleep over but there is accommodation at the venue..!*
Best venue with the friendliest staff..!*
I didn’t have any bridal beauty regime..
My bridesmaids just surprised me with a full body message a week before my wedding and a day before my wedding I did my nails and tone nails..!
Our decor was amazing as we had the best wedding planner to assist us ( a close friend that helped plan our wedding as a wedding gift)
Our colors was blush and burgundy, we wanted a very natural look as well as we used lost of flowers, floral prints and greenery for our tables.
We also added a little sparkle with rosegold runners and fairy lights.
OMW..!* my husband looked amazing and so gorgeous in his suite..!
We bought his suite in Menlyn.
He had on a grey suite, with a white shirt and a white floral tie (which he ordered online) and a brown belt with brown shoes.
His groomsmen looked stunning aswell with navy pants, burgundy button up shirts and navy floral ties.
They got their outfits from Thurworts and their belts from Old Khaki, shoes from Due south— groom and groomsmen.
And of course they went with wacky sock as they wanted to bring their own style in aswell, we got the sock from happy socks, online at superbalist.
My bridesmaids, ooo wow..!* As I had 6 bridesmaids, I knew that each one of them had their own unique style and I didn’t want them to loom the same..
I gave my bridesmaids a color scheme and said they can buy their own dresses as long as it’s in the blush color or the blush family and as long as it’s long..!
They looked amazing each in their own style dress.
I bought them their shoes from Blu Betty and online shoes shop with the most beautiful shoes ever..!*
Our marriage officer was one of the best choices we made as this was my husband stepdad.
We absolutely loved the ceremony as this was someone we loved and looked up to, and now we where privileged enough to have him as our marriage officer.!*
