My Special Day

My inspiration for my wedding was grecian, forest, natural.

Hair: Side briad with leaf hair piece done by my cousin and mother.

Make up: Very natural done by my maid of honour.

Dress: Princess style ball gown with beading bought from ever after bridal designed by Maggie Soterro

The Venue

We got married in the picturesque winelands on a family farm. Skilpadvlei

My Bridal Beauty Regime

I started eating healthy and exercising 6 months before my big day. Drinking water and the adjustment to my diet took care of my skin and my trusted beautician and maid of honour helped with the sun tanned skin in the middle of winter.

Wedding Elements

Flowers and decor was done beautifully by my aunt ( an events planner).

We also used Cape Tents for a Bedouin tent, as we had an outside ceremony.
