Magical Moments

 

I loved walking down the isle in the Church. I thought I would stress but I was as calm and excited as can be. It was wonderful to know my Father is taking me to my husband and what a privilege it was to have all our parents there.

The Honeymoon

 

No we were unable to go on honeymoon due to Mauritius being closed and my Father in Law died two days after our wedding day in a motorcycle accident. So we are in dire need of alone time.

Wedding Gallery

 

My Special Day

My wedding dress was classic but also minimalistic. A-line, off shoulder. Dress was made & designed by CJA Haute Couture

Make up was full glam!! Absolutely loved it!! I love make up and wanted a more dramatic look as I daily wear make up.

Hair was a half up-do, wanted the big and bold hair but flowing. Was absolutely perfect.

Hair and Make Up done by the best: Merlize Du Toit

Jewellery was minimal, small bracelets and thin drop down tiny diamanté earrings from Lovisa. All rosegold.
Hair piece is an antique from my bridesmaid for the “something old”

Shoes was gold, nice chunky heel with diamanté on the heels that ties around the ankle from Miss Black.

Lingerie was just plain seamless from Woolworths.

No dance lessons as we just enjoyed our song to avoid concentrating and completely missing the moment.

The music was so good and our DJ reads a crowd like no other! The dance floor was packed!

He did all our sound and lighting.
