Celebrating covenant, love and commitment with my ultimate favorite person, witnessed and enjoyed by loved ones.

The Honeymoon

 

Yes, we enjoyed 3 places in our own beautiful SA. 2 days in Franchoek, then 2 days at Sondagskloof in the Overberg, and then 5 days in Sedgefield Garden Route.
It was absolutely magical.

My Special Day

My complete wedding look was vintage, my hair and makeup Hollywood, done by Lisa Hair & makeup. my dress perfectly made with beautiful and fine lace, to suit who i am, made by Didi Couture.
Earrings was different and very classic, crystal stones, set in silver clusters, a gift from a best friend and bridesmaid Karin, bought at Lovisa.
My shoes.... I have never seen such gorgeous shoes ever... Leather heals with cut out patterns, from ZARA.

The Venue

We got married at the beautiful Simondium Country Lodge in Franchoek.
Most of our guests stayed at the venue, as lovely country style accommodation is available, made it very convenient. Amazing breakfast included the next morning. Guests were very impressed

My Bridal Beauty Regime

Hmmmmmm, in general I choose to eat and live very healthy but..... 2 months before my wedding, I went into complete eating mode

Wedding Elements

My décor, flowers and furniture was more beautiful than I could ever imagine. I had a picture in mind, but the end result was NEXT LEVEL. Dramatic and different, more than any other i have ever seen. Something out of a magazine. Thanks to Suzanne from Dear idea florals and Styling and a very creative and innovative friend and bridesmaid Lize that did all the decor as well as our fabulous and beautiful gin bar.
Our candles, table cloths and table décor was hired at function hiring 4 you.
Wooden tifiny chairs from Wilgenhof

Beautiful Bridesmaids

My wedding colors was navy, burgandy, mustard and emerald green.
As my 7 bridesmaids all have such unique, dramatic and colorful personalities, I gave them the option to choose whatever they would like to where, as long as stays in the color scheme above. The outcome of all 7 totally different outfits was out of this world!!!!!!!

My mom baked the most amazing chocolate and nut brownies, that Lize my bridesmaid made up in a cake decorated with flowers and served it on a gold plate. Best and most trendy 'wedding cake' ever.
