Magical Moments

 

My most memorable moment was when my dad saw me for the very first time in my wedding dress. The proud look on his face was priceless. Walking down the isle towards my future husband was really the best day of my life. Knowing that you are about to marry your best friend and love of your life is the greatest feeling in the world! My mother, sister and granny made the most beautiful wedding cake, decorated with real flowers. They also made all of the desserts, which was very special to us. All of our friends and family came from far to spend the special day with us. It's these moments that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

The Honeymoon

 

We went to Thailand for our honeymoon. We stayed at the Kamala Sunprime Beach Resort. It's a bit more of a relaxing area which was great. Everyone in Thailand was so friendly and we got to do lots of fun activities and we visited different a lot of beautiful Islands. We had the best time!

My Special Day

I bought my wedding dress in Cape Town at Calegra Bridal Boutique. As soon as i fit it on, i fell in love with it. It had so much finer detail with a lot of soft pearl beading at the top and i loved the thin straps with all of the 'leave' detail. I loved the soft lace on the lower part of the dress. My hair was very plain, taken back with some gyps in between and we went for a more intense eye with a touch of gold and a softer pink lip. My wedding shoes where gold and i had diamante earnings and bracelet that went very well with the overall look.

The Venue

We got married in Buffeljagsrivier in the NG Church. Our venue was just around the corner at Chris-Elle Wedding Venue. I just fell in love with the venue and the beautiful view. Most of our guests stayed at Umshanti (close to the venue) as well as on the venue.

Wedding Elements

I wanted to go with a lot of glass, as well as gold decor for the tables. We had white Tiffany chairs, white serviettes and trestle stone tablecloths. A lot of fairy lights and green leaves hanging from the top of the roof, that it almost gave the illusion that we where outside.My flowers where the colors of white,red/burgundy and a lot of green leaves in between.
