On the same day as the Royal Wedding I married my own Prince Charming and what a perfect day it was. Surrounded by the magical, purple hues of the mountain and kissed by the soft Autumn sun, we shared the most spectacular day with our special friends and family. A day of pure love. This was truly the happiest day of our lives and the sparkle in our eyes captured in every photograph is proof of just that.
We escaped the City to the beautiful plains of Namibia where we shared a beautiful week at Erindi Private Game Reserve.
Royal and romantic with a touch of sparkle.
I wanted my look to be elegant and timeless but still capture a little of my cheekiness. It was perfect in every way thanks to my amazing team who made me look and feel so beautiful on my special day.

I have been in the beauty industry since 2000, and over the years I have learnt the value of keeping a good balance between creativity and practicality.
Our ceremony and reception was held at the stunning Laurent at Lourensford Wine Estate in Somerset West.
Our guests stayed in the beautiful boutique hotel right next door to the venue, Erinvale Hotel.
We wanted to keep it elegant. So we went for all white with great pops of fresh greens. Masses of arrangements including roses, lilies, tulips and cascading penny gum were set around the room. And then the candles...hundreds of them. We even sourced our own specific candles with a Wild Fig scent and let these burn long before the guests entered the room. This way they were greeted with the most beautiful and fresh aroma to compliment the magnificent floral décor.

The second best dresses in the room (after the Mother of the Bride's dress of course) were my beautiful bridesmaids dresses. Sourced internationally, these dresses suited every figure to perfection. My favourite: the floor length satin bow at the back!
Wesley Vorster. He is a genius behind the lens. I look back at my wedding photographs all the time and I love how every photo takes my back to that exact moment in time. I remember every emotion, every bit of joy that I was feeling, and that is very much thanks to Wesley for so perfectly capturing every moment.
My Mum!
My Mum is the definition of elegance. She is pure class, an organizer extraordinaire and meticulous to a fault. My Mum always says that the best impact comes from the small things, the attention to detail. She had thought of everything and pulled it off in spectacular fashion. Oh how lucky I am.
There was only one choice for us on our Wedding Day. Me and Mr Green. If you ever have the chance to see them live you will know why.
