Magical Moments

 

For me the most amazingly memorable moments of our wedding day was when my fiancé, at that time, waited in awe and eyes filled with tears on me walking down the aisle. Another amazing moment was when my grandfather, who raised me, handed me over to my husband to be with so much pride written all over his face. Also, when the Reverent announced us husband and wife, I literally got palpitations of excitement.

The Honeymoon

 

Unfortunately we could not go on a honeymoon due to limited finances as we are also about to move into a flat and have to pay deposits. But, we are planning a weekend away in two weeks time. I haven’t traveled much before, something me and my husband both intend to do more of. So we are planning to visit Mosselbay for a weekend and make the rest of our marriage a life long honeymoon.

Wedding Gallery

 

My Special Day

We had a rustic wedding with colors of sage green, olive green and leathery brown. We had an outdoors wedding ceremony and had brunch under the trees with our guests at one long table. We opt for a casual atmosphere.
My husband and his groom and bestman was dressed by GD suits. I hires my wedding dress from Wedding by Design.
Me and my husband had “vellies” on to complete the rustic look. Our jewelry is from Sterns, Lovisa and Avon. Me ans my bridesmaids had our make up done by Suemille from Skin and Nail excellence. Our hair was done by my regular local hairdresser before I turned “natural”, Elske Pienaar.

The Venue

We got married at Wederom boutique winery estate, between Robertson and Worcester. The most naturally beautiful venue. We had a morning wedding and guests could go home after the wedding. Me, my husband and bridesmaids made use of the accommodation which was named after wine. We slept there the previous night to save preparation time. The little houses are called Hanepoothuisies.

My Bridal Beauty Regime

I love self-care. I do it on a regular basis. I believe in spoiling myself as I’m a health care worker who looks after my patients needs everyday. I use Anique’s skin products on a daily basis. Before the wedding I developed a type of skin condition, I believe stress contributed towards the skin condition. I started using Epiderm tablets from Anique and it really helped me allot. It helps to improve skin, nails and hair. I went for a Hollywood wax and underarm wax at NID salon. I did my toenails and nails at Glitzi-lin. As well as eyebrow wax and tinting. I did my lash extension at Hijabican Beauty. My natural hair was highlighted by Elske Pienaar.

Wedding Elements

Our decor was minimalistic and kept so natural as the reception and the ceremony was held outside between the beautiful vineyards and under the trees. Pennygum leaves and cream coloured roses was used to decorate the long table, white Tiffany chairs accompanied the naked wooden tables. This was all done by Konfetti events and hiring. Our stationary finished off the rustic elegant look which was done by She graphics. That was all we needed, nature made sure to decorate our wedding day with her own flair.

My Groom And His Groomsmen

My husband wore a Olive green suit tailored by Gareth from GD suits. He paired the suit with a crisp white shirt and a whiskey colored leather bow tie, belt and leather vellie shoes. His Bestman and groomsman had the same olive color pants with a white shirt, leather bow tie, vellies and finished the look off with matching whiskey brown cross straps. All the vellies was from redemption shoes and the leather bow ties from Weef.

Beautiful Bridesmaids

My bridesmaids had sage green long dresses with sequencing detail at the breast. A local dressmaker from Worcester, Anrico Daames, made theirs dresses from a pintrest picture idea. They had tan and nude heels on both from Fochini.

Marriage Officer

My Captured Moments

On my word! We had the most amazing photographers and videographer. On your wedding day you feel so overwhelmed and you don’t see every detail and take everything in at once. After the wedding all you have is memories and pictures and the video to remind you off your special day and all the little detail om that amazing day. I believe one should invest in a good quality photographer and videographer. Thank you to Marelize Coetzer-sieringtjie and her assistant Chante Enslin. Irvin from irv.xcv videos had me speechless and in tears, he managed to capture the perfect moments of our wedding. We did not need to use a photo booth, nature was our only back drop and it looked and felt amazing.

The Wedding Planner

We didn’t have a planner, we planned everything on our own with the help of our graphic designer Delouise Groenewald and decor person Oom Johan the owner of Konfetti. Pintrest is a very good wedding planner.

Wedding Transport

We slept at the venue and did not need transport, we used our personal cars to get by.

Food & Cake

Our delicious brunch was prepared by an unknown caterer provided by the venue Wederom. I know she is female however, she made the most decadent food, verbalised by our guests as we were too excited to eat that day.

Wedding Stationery

Deliouse Groenewald from She graphic. Beautiful and talented is all i can say.

The Reception and Entertainment

Neither me or my hubby can dance, we both have left feet. We slowly moved close to each other on At my worst from Pink Sweat$. We couldn’t afford dance lessons, maybe one day on our anniversary. Our Dj was local from Robertson called DJ Ghovan. He is so affordable and good at his Passion. We love instrumental music and dream of a live band, but that is goals for our anniversary.
