My Special Day

I wanted a stylish and elegant look. I wanted to feel like every bride want to feel, like a princes. My makeup and hair was done by Caren Fourie and it was beautiful. When i started to look at wedding dresses in 2016 i came across the designer Ilse Roux and i instantly fell in love with her dresses. From that time i told my mother i want a Ilse Roux design. My dress was designed and made by her for my wedding and it was the most beautiful dress, perfect and i felt like the pettiest girl on my wedding day.

My Bridal Beauty Regime

Before the wedding i had eyelashes done and nails and feet together with my mother, grandmother and sister. We had a bonding session and it was absolutely a wonderful time. Also special to share it with my grandma who came from the Free State for the wedding.

Wedding Elements

For the decor and flowers i wanted the stylish and elegant look throughout the theme. I have a fabulous lady that assisted me with my decor and the layout of my wedding. She made my perfect wedding dream a reality. She arranged everything and made sure all the decor was done to perfection. The flowers was everything i wanted - big arrangements on the table and the drop down look on the main table. Lots of glass and crystal with fairy lights. everything came together so well it took my breath away.
