Jeff planned a wonderful honeymoon for us in Mauritius. We swam with dolphins, snorkeling, pedalo, stand up paddle... which I had to be saved from once because of strong currents!
We spent the whole week in the lovely ocean, drinking cocktails and eating amazing food.
When we got back to Cape Town, Jeff planned trip on route 62 in my Jimny. It was absolutely amazing. We did a lot of passes and saw such a beautiful side of our own country.
I wanted a elegant, ethereal look for my wedding day.
I really met the most amazing people on my journey being a bride. I had the most wonderful makeup and hair artist, Celeste from Celestial Makeup artistry. She really knows how to work with your best features and make you feel and look absolutely flawless. She kept me calm on the day and was really so much fun to be around!
Just over a year before our wedding I met the stunning Marietjie from La belle Mariée. I went to her for a fitting and absolutely fell in love with the first dress I saw. Marietjie has the most wonderful personality and has made this journey so exciting. The dress I fell in love with was very elegant yet simple. It had the most amazing lace on the bodice and absolutely no back. The bottom of my dress flows down and covered my shoes which I actually bought first. Beautiful Steve Madden wedges with a band of diamanté across the arch of my feet.
I wore a beautiful tennis bracelet from my dad and Jeff bought me beautiful earrings from Swarovski as a wedding present.

Wedding Dress: La Belle Mariée
Venue: Nooitgedacht estate
Jeff and I stayed in the beautiful bridal suite at the venue.
My parents, grandparents and brother each had a room at the venue. Other guests found lovely guest houses in Stellenbosch.
I exfoliated twice weekly, always moisturising. I drank a lot of water! I've always done pilates so I just carried on with that for fitness and to stay stress free.
My colors where blush and rose gold. It was all so beautiful. Our flowers were mostly pastel colors but we had this one flower which stood out which was a living coral color which looked amazing!
Amongst the flowers we had a lot of candles that gave a nice romantic light. Last minute we changed from having naked bulbs to a canopy of fairy lights. It was absolutely astonishing. It looked like so exquisite.

Sibling Photography captured our day. Tanya made it so extremely fun. Having the photos taken while everyone was having pre-drinks and snacks where definitely a huge highlight for me! It was so much fun for Jeff and I to experience it together. It was the first time we had done something like that!
Soet in Durbanville made our cake for us. It was the most wonderful cake I had ever had. I chose a carrot cake with the best cream cheese icing I have ever had. Everyone complimented the cake!
Nooitgedacht did our catering and it was the most amazing food. We had a buffet and I made sure to try EVERYTHING. It was really 5 star!
