I have never experienced a moment like this, all excitement is building up and i am shaking, me and my dad just arrived at the chapel and got ready to enter. Just as we are about to walk in it started raining for the walk down the isle. When my dad gave me away and we were ready to start the ceremony the rain calmed down and i new that today we are blessed.
Each moment was amazing and it all went by so fast. We are blessed

We had a theme at our wedding for all guest to dress up a bit and let loose. We asked everyone to do a vintage type of look to get the whole wedding into a great spirit. Our decor was a natural vintage and earthy look, our tables were not overcrowded and the space between tables were perfect.
We hired decor from Carien Swartz in Kroonstad and also Tannie Wilma from Kroonstad, she did the decor as well. Our tables had bloekom leaves on with wooden long brown candle holders and one wooden centre peace with with white roses in. Our colour scheme was rosegold, olivegreen and white. Our underplates, gift box (a wine barrel), photobooth props, guest book(an old vintage door), table seating board was made by Vs Laser and Promo in Kroonstad. It looked amazing.
