The moment I walked down the aisle and saw my hubby to be turn around and try swallow and hold his tears back. Hearing and feeling the love from all our friends and family was just unexplainable. Seeing all our hard work paying off and the food!! Our caterer out did himself, Food by Thobs...highly recommended
Not as yet, we are busy planning a trip for sometime next year :)
My dress was everything I initially said didn't want but I fell in love! VIP Brides has a amazing selection of dresses for every bride.
My hair was done by a amazing lady and it suited me to the T. Thank you Tersia from Sheer Perfection
Make up was on point, perfect coverage with emphases on the right areas. Thank you Mellow hair and make up.
Rose gold glitter sneakers with ribbon laces made by the me was worn by myself and my 4 girls. Lingerie....sorry no kiss and tell :)
I was a very hands on bride due to being a perfectionist and the cost factor. I had help to set up from Tammy at Down to the T and Naomi from Forwedz who did my flowers.
Groom and the guys wore charcoal grey suits from Suit Yourself in Durban North. Groom had a white shirt from Markhams and the groomsmen a mauve shirt to match the girls dresses.
Floor length Mauve coloured lace top satin and chiffon skirt maxi dress style. We got the idea off images on the net and had them made by a lady we found on facebook, Nafisa from Jasmin designs.
Gert Van Der Linde and he was the best!!! Short sweet and to the point. He was well prepared too.
We used Donavon from Pyper studio's.
He has worked the venue before so this was a bonus. I sent him samples of what I wanted, yes call me bridezilla haha, and so far with the few teasers his sent he hasn't disappointed. Donavon and his assistant was everywhere and I doubt they missed a moment.
I have to say thank you to my girls as they were my planners, strength, psychologists, punching bags and pillar to lean on!!!
No Transport was needed as we were on a farm and everything took place there. The guys did however paint my hubby's car with their names and some embarrassing images lol
Food:
We had a spitbraai and sides made by Food by Thobs...Couldn't have chosen any better!!!!
What amazes me is that his affordable too.
Cake:
3 tier butter cream cake made by Cakes by Eva. Flavour was out of this world!!!
Invites was electronic and made by a friend of a friend Amanda
Menu, programs and confetti cones was made by Forwedz
Seating plan designed and made by the bride
We attempted to learn a basic dance taught by my sister, however failure to practice was our downfall so we improvised :)
The girls and I did a line dance in honor of my late parents.
We had a live DJ who knocked it out the park!! Thank you to Warren Houston
