Magical Moments

 

The highlight of the day was the moment I saw my husband to be - his face and the seriousness of the moment. The most memorable moment was when I had the whole audience in tears as I read my vows to my stepson, there wasn’t a dry eye in the whole chapel!

The Honeymoon

 

We have not yet gone on Honeymoon but have booked it for our 1 year anniversary to Budapest, Prague and Vienna.

Wedding Gallery

 

My Special Day

My hair and makeup was soft and elegant and the look was created by Erin Smylie, she did exactly want I wanted and made me feel like a goddess.
My Wedding dress was purchased from Eurobride in Bryanston, I fell in love with it from the moment I walked into the shop, it’s soft and elegant with a romantic feel, I felt like a princess wearing it!
My shoes where the only part of my outfit that was a bit of bling, it had a diamanté look and was purchased from Eurobride in Rosebank.
I had very little jewelry and was very fine as to not detract from the dress I bought it from Swarovski in Rosebank mall.

The Venue

Kloofzicht lodge, some guests stayed over at Kloofzicht but not all.

My Bridal Beauty Regime

I started training a year prior to the wedding attending Adventure Bootcamp daily, I followed my own Beauty regime but did have a facial done monthly at Placecol in Rosebank.

Wedding Elements

The decor can be described as romantic and most was done by The Wedding Specialist, they did the flowers and all stationery for the day, they were fantastic and I didn’t have to stress about anything!

My Groom And His Groomsmen

The groom wore a full suit and the groomsmen wore formal pants with a waistcoat, it was all supplied by Eorubride in Rivonia.

Beautiful Bridesmaids

My bridesmaid wore a very soft and elegant peachy colourd dress which was purchased from Eurobride in Rosebank.

Marriage Officer

Ryan Hogarth

My Captured Moments

Our day was captured by Laurie Farrar from Moments in Time. She was wonderful and we hardly felt her presence during the day, she quietly got along with it and she captured each special moment exactly the way we hoped. We didn’t have a photo booth at our wedding.

The Wedding Planner

No I did all of the planning myself and enjoyed it very much!

Wedding Transport

We didn't require any transport as the chapel and reception was at the same venue.

Food & Cake

The food was prepared by the venue. The wedding cupcakes was done by Decadent Cup Cakes.

Wedding Stationery

We designed most of the stationery ourselves, however The Wedding Specialist assisted us with the menu's, order of service, seating plan & name tags for the day.

The Reception and Entertainment

We went for dance lessons at The Dance Studio in Honeydew. The sound and lighting was done by the DJ supplied to us by Cream Cheese.

Our reception was very relaxed and we kept speeches to a minimum so that we could spend time with our guests.
