Magical Moments

 

Once upon a time a boy met a girl, and they fell in love. Our wedding day was exactly like a Fairytale! It was magical and I definitely felt like a princess. It was everything a girl could dream of. We said our vows to each other in the forest under a canopy of trees with all our close family and friends, what more can you ask for. Being able to have some photo's taken with the elephants was incredible.

The Honeymoon

 

Instead of going overseas for our honeymoon we decided to travel SA. We really do have a beautiful country.

Wedding Gallery

 

My Special Day

My hair and make up was done by Antoinette from EA Academy. She was amazing and made me feel like a princess.
I found my perfect dress at Lady Marmalaide Parkhurst, they were all amazing.
My Mother and sister in law made me the most beautiful winter coat to wear over my dress in case I got cold. All the fabrics were purchased at Chamdor at Deco Park.
My tiara, veil, shoes and jewellery were purchased at the Oriental Plaza.

The Venue

We got Married at Askari Game Lodge in Magaliesburg. Most of the guest stayed over as they offer accommodation at the venue.

My Bridal Beauty Regime

I lost a lot of weight being on the Slender Wonder diet. I didn't do much else besides having a mani and pedi done at Sorbet the day before the wedding.

Partly solutions supplied us with our white Tiffany chairs and cushions and our silver overlays.
Dream Drapings draped the entire room with white including the fairylights. It looked amazing!
