Our day reflected us as a couple every detail was personalized to what we love.After a year of planning our wedding leading up to the day I was really worried about the weather because our ceremony took place under the oak trees. We were so lucky it rain the day before and after our wedding and no on the day. What a huge blessing. It was really nice having all our family and friends celebrate with us.
Yes, we spent our honeymoon in Thailand.
My wedding look was all about less is more with a twist of sexy but still keeping it classy. It was really special wearing my mother's bracelet to add something old and a garter with blue stones. Making sure we had something old, new & blue in the mix. My hair & make-up reflected who I am very natural and easy going.
We go married on Saturday , 26th October 2019 at La Terra de Luc wedding venue in Franschhoek. It is a hidden surrounded by mountains, trees & vinyards. With our first visit we knew we wanted to get married here. It offered everythig we were looking for which was an intimate space to celebrate with loved ones.
The most important beauty regime is drinking enough water, it has so many benefits especially keeping you skin glowing. I try an stay active by 3-4 times a week and enjoy running.
Our wedding palette were black, white, green & gold that matched the venue's rustic theme. We used white flowers with lots of greenery to give it a natural clean look. The tables were decorated with small glass vases, tea candle and black plates. We served a family style dinner and kept our decor to a minimal. We roof was decorated with naked bulbs and greenery.
The groom and groomsmen wore talior black tuxedos with bowties.
I wanted each braids maid to feel comfortable in what they wore. They had the opportunity to choose their own black dress with black heels.
PerfectBlue photography captured our special day, loved working with them and they did a got job of capturing us as a couple. We had a mobile VW photobooth to keep our guests entertained.
The venue prepared all the food. The canape's were served during cocktail hour. We served a plated salmon roulade and the main course was served family style to ensure everyone was served at the same time and to create a social atmosphere. The lovely cousin created the cheese table that was a big bit wit our guests. We served each course with a different wine to enhance the flavours of the food.
I designed all the stationary.
The reception was covered with fairy lights and candles. Everyone received a shot as the arrived to lighten the mood. We went for dance classes leading up to the big day and it was so much fun practicing. We did a valtz which flowed into hip hop.
