My Special Day

I got my dress from Pronovias & my shoes from Superbalist.
Natasha Papadopoulos did my hair & makeup. Hair was just a pony tail. I have very long thick hair that would have covered the dress too much so I just tied it up. Later on during the night I let it loose.
The only jewellery I wore was a pair of earrings from Pronovias.

The Venue

Nooitgedacht Estate in Stellenbosch We stayed there . The guests stayed at the beautiful hotels and guest houses in Stellenbosch and surrounding arias. They came from all over the world . USA..ITALY.. GREECE..AUSTRALIA ..
