My Special Day

I went for a more sophisticated bohemian look, with natural flowing curls and a bling hair piece, smokey eyes.
I am not a flowery girl, so I wanted geometrical shapes and lines in my dress, which was successfully achieved with the help of Jason Kieck.

My Bridal Beauty Regime

For fitness, I do Pilates regularly.
For my face I use Elizabeth Arden products, I also got their Prevage face mask which I used the night before.
For my body I got all my products from Rain which included their scrub, star dust bath salt (with a shimmer in) and their hydrating cream.

Wedding Elements

We used all the venue furniture and only slightly personalised the table decor. We kept the table bare with a square champagne underlay scattered with tealight candles. Gold and matte bronzed & glitter gold sprayed wine bottles topped with black candles. The champagne bottles were also custom sprayed in gloss black and ombre gold glitter.
The veranda columns were strung with silhouette fairy lights and the boma fire was lit all night.
The flowers were white single row lilies either side the black runner down the aisle and the bridesmaids had a single white lily with some green to contrast their black dresses. I had a bouquet of black calla lilies with diamond studs to finish off an contrast my white dress.

My Groom And His Groomsmen

Groom: Black suit, white shirt with tie & black shoes.
Heinz in Style - Port Elizabeth
Groomsmen: Black shirt & trousers with black bow ties and shoes.
Edgars
Ring bearers: Black trousers, white shirt with black tie and black shoes.

Beautiful Bridesmaids

I got black infinity dresses for my bridesmaids. From a practical point it made sense, each bridesmaid was able to create their own unique look that suited their body type and still fit it with our theme.
