Magical Moments

 

I will never forget the clear blue sky, the cold breeze cutting through my skin and rain drops dripping off the leaves from the flowers. Suddenly, I was reminded of the thought that the previous day it rained and hailed and today..on my special day.. it might rain again. But, when I walked into my suite at our venue place, the friendly faces and smiles welcoming me made all the nerves wash away. My father, my biggest hero looked at me with tears and could only say "you look so beautiful" we laughed and made jokes and in between all the fun we took some beautiful photos. The first time I set eyes on my groom - now husband , was like knowing I'm going to my happy place. Looking at my best friend with a big smile knowing our exciting future waits for us. He looked so handsome, and the proud feeling inside of me knowing that he is all mine and I am so proud to be this wonderful man's wife.

My Special Day

My wedding look was typical Vintage. I had my hair curled by Margerite van Niekerk and I also wore a tiara ,and my makeup was done by Chanteleze Knoetze. My wedding dress I hired from Lady Ann Bridal where Annemarie van Dalen assisted me to find my beautiful vintage dress. My wedding dress was in an Ivory colour. I bought my shoes from Anella Wedding shoes that matched my wedding dress also in an ivory colour. I bought my pearls jewellery from Bride basket.

My Captured Moments

When using a photographer and a videographer you know that it must be someone who will capture every single moment and turn it into something that is beyond beautiful , someone that doesn't see their job as just any normal job description but to make someone's dream day a reality. So when I was looking for a photographer and videographer those were the main things I was looking for in someone, and when I found Corne Smit and her husband, I knew I found my perfect photographer!! They are full of life and excitement and really love what they are doing. And till today I am so happy we chose CS Photography. They really captured all those special moments that I never want to forget.

The Wedding Planner

The Reception and Entertainment

Well, since I am a teacher and like to try out my own dance moves with the revue, my husband and I worked out our dance ourselves. The sound was done by AMA promotions and they were also our DJ. Our venue was full of fairy lights so we did not really had to add any more lighting. They venue were romantic just the way it was.
