Magical Moments

 

My wedding was on the 5th of October 2019 and was the absolute best and most magical day of my life.
Our wedding was a traditional Catholic wedding which started at 15:00 at Our Lady of Lebanon Catholic Church.
It was the best day, amazing weather, the love of my life, our faith was incorporated and our nearest and dearest.

Our reception was filled with tears and then a huge party!

Seeing him at the end of the aisle was one of the best moments of the day!

Everything went perfectly!

The Honeymoon

My Special Day

I wanted to look classic but have an element of sexy.
My dress came from Olivelli and was by designer Maggie Sotterro and was the Zander dress. It was ivory and champagne
My dress was lace, a-line and ball gown.
I had long sleeves, which (very exciting) came off at the reception. It had the most exquisite long train, giving me the ultimate princess moment. I had a long cathedral veil with swarovski crystal all over it. Perfection :)

My hair was done by Tugeidah, from Pin Up Hair Design. She did a very pretty romantic and soft hair style.
My makeup was done by Creatively Contoured, Cleo, who did a beautiful glowy makeup look with natural tones and a nice glittery eye.

My lingerie was from Bonangs Distraction line :) white and perfect

My shoes, were gold strappy stilettos from Europa Art for the ceremony, my reception shoes were all white All Stars
