Magical Moments

 

My whole wedding was a highlight for me!! I enjoyed every single moment. I cherish our first dance together as well as the speeches. It's always nice to hear what other people think of you as a married couple.

The Honeymoon

 

Yes, we went to Thailand. It was our first overseas trip together which made it even more special.

My Wedding Inspiration

 

My Special Day

I really wanted a clean, natural wedding look. My makeup was very natural and Clarita used brown & gold colors on my eyes. My hair was in a low, folded bun. Our wedding was in the winter so I was just super excited to have a long sleeve dress- it's been my dream for like forever.I had long sleeve lace sleeves, with a low V-neck back and a tulle (princess) skirt. I felt like a winter fairy tale princess.

I wore "something old" from my mother as jewelry. She gave me her pearl earrings to wear on the wedding day which made it very special.

I bought gold high heels from Woolworths as my wedding shoes- they were SO comfortable. My lingerie was from Bra's n Things in Cavendish Square.

The Venue

Eensgezind Function Venue- just outside Durbanville.

My Bridal Beauty Regime

My makeup artist was pretty awesome and gave me some tips. I got myself a vitamin B complex (biogen) supplement, together with a green powder supplement from 'The real thing'. I also changed my skincare and bought Lamelle products about 6 months before my wedding (made a huge difference). I went to Dvine Skin & Body in Durbanville for monthly Optiphi chemical peels.

I enjoy running and therefore didn't really change my fitness routine. I did buy a few sessions at Sweat1000 in Claremont to change my program a bit and have a greater variety.

Wedding Elements

Eensgezind Function Venue is just amazing. They were like my personal wedding planner. I wanted a clean natural look for the decor as well. Eensgezind did the flowers- there was alot of green pennygum branches on the tables. I also had cream- colored flowers.

I rented gold tiffany chairs from Wilgenhof Estate in Franchhoek.
