Magical Moments

 

The most memorable part was saying my vows to my husband in view of our loved ones on day 1 and day 2 was seeing the joy in his family when they were welcoming me.

The Honeymoon

 

Yes, we were blessed to wed around the time he had received a top achiever incentive at work to go to Barcelona and Ibiza.

My Special Day

During the ceremony day 1 I had on a beautiful classic type 3 quarter sleeve,ball gown dress from a local online service I was brave enough to trust @ExtraOrdinary Wedding Gowns and during the reception my mom and I made a simple sleeveless "lace and tulle" dress, My makeup and hair was glam and classy done by Makeup by Ceboh. I paired all this with tear drop earrings from Lovisa and glittered out platform shoes that were are gift from my younger sister:)

The Venue

Wedding venue was the amazing Straven Court Wedding venue KZN.

My Bridal Beauty Regime

hahaha, Health I tried with drinking lots of water but it wasn't for much change since the stress of planning made me lose weight any way.

I tried different face products for my acne which didnt work much but my make up artist was so amazing it didn't matter and bicarb for a little teeth whitening.

Wedding Elements

We unfortunately trusted the wrong person with everything to convert the venue with her decor and deliver on food and she did not do as agreed however beyond this I was just grateful to have our family and friends to cheer me up while i was in tears for a minute or 2 due to this but we just made it a big party and had loads of fun.

My Groom And His Groomsmen

My Husband got his suite made by Sdjozi Majozi suites and the groomsmen looked dapper with hired suites from Ano's suites.

Beautiful Bridesmaids

My bridesmaids looked like a dream thanks to my mom, I designed their dresses and wanted something a little different from what we were seeing. Me and my mom made all these from home. The dresses were made to suite each of their bodies and to be comfortable.
These were silk, tulle and lace dresses with the lace and colour being the co ordinating factor but each one being different from the next.

Marriage Officer

Pastor Darryl Meekins

My Captured Moments

Photographer and Videography was Greg Dixon and he did a great job from what we've seen thus far!

The Wedding Planner

No, I planned everything along with my sister and help from friends.

Wedding Transport

We used personal cars and my dad surprised me with a Mercedes to transport us to the venue.

Food & Cake

Our cake was done by Michelle's Cakes.

Wedding Stationery

Invites were designed by myself and printed by Ncane's invites

The Reception and Entertainment

Our reception turned out amazing beyond the mishaps, we didn't take lessons but danced to a special song anyway.
We had a dj and a band who made sure the party went on.
