My Special Day

I wanted to go for a very classic but modern look for the day.
Our makeup was done by Makeup by Rozaan
Our hair was done by most of my friends, as we are hairdressers , Gary Rom hairdressing
Shoes was bought at Call it Spring
My Wedding dress & veil was designed and custom made by Designs by Marius
I bought my pajama & robe set from Bela clothing
My jewelery was bought from Lovisa and I borrowed my mother's diamond necklace for the day

The Venue

We had our special day at Cradle Valley in Muldersdrift, we chose this venue not just because it is absolutely breathtaking but also because they had enough accommodation for all of our 67 guests that stayed over at the venue. The rooms are absolutely gorgeous, done with taste and modern finishes.

My Bridal Beauty Regime

One of the small changes I made leading up to the wedding that made a massive difference in my hair & skin was to use collagen on a daily basis, I saw a massive difference in the thickness of my hair and texture of my skin. I would highly recommend Motherkind collagen to anyone.
I did a lot of In salon treatments on my hair, almost weekly for healthy & shiny hair. I used a product called Silk Force which is a 6 week home treatment program. I bought extensions from Keiro for the blonde pieces in my hair and extra thickness.
Teeth whitening was a bit out of our budget so we used the Colgate teeth whitening strips and it really made a massive difference.
I had a gym routine of mostly weight lifting about 3-4 times a week and just followed a healthier lifestyle with food.

Wedding Elements

I wanted a different look to what I've seen at other weddings, our main colours were rusty oranges, pinky oranges, midnight navy & rose gold.
