One of my highlights was when my mom was dressing me and putting my veil on. She just couldn't control her emotions. The more she straightened out my dress, placed my veil over my face, trying to control her breathing. I remembered I kept asking her her if she's okay? Eventually she looked at me and just burst out crying.
My memorable moment was when i walked into the church preparing myself to walk down the aisle. My dad kept telling me just relax and stay calm you got this. As i took the corner to walk down the aisle i saw my groom :) tears of joy flowed down my cheeks, I was dumbstruck all over again. Everyone told me don't cry too much..YOUR MAKE UP! How could one possibly not cry. The smiles on everyone's face's as my father walked me down the aisle. I think his smile was priceless. How my father helped me with my dress walking down the aisle so i don't trip and fall. My aunt shouting kick kick..lol
And last but not lease the look on my groom's face.

Decor is something I'm big on. I went for a very chic yet simple look. As i believe in simplicity. Trunk Events did the planning, styling and decor of my whole wedding.
We wanted to have a touch of a nautical theme and incorporated it into the smaller finer details. Colours of the decor was
Rose Gold, White, touch of Navy and Gold with glass and crystal. Each guest got a their name's on a keyring which was gold and laser cut mirror perspex. We had no draping in the venue as the whole venue was plain white with a very high ceiling with big white chandeliers and our lighting guy placed parkade lights all around the venue which gave off a soft pink touch. I opted for white plinth table with clear perspex Tiffany chairs. Rose gold cutlery to add a extra chic touch. We had D & J marquee letter lights with a dessert cake table that caught the attention of all our guest. Our outside area had the white plinth cocktail tables with big rose gold candle lanterns. The venue was perfect as the yachts added so much character to everything.
