Magical Moments

 

The highlights and most memorable moments were the speeches, family that came from far and the moment of silence for our loved ones that are no longer with us. In my brother in law’s speech, he and his wife made me and my husband (Reece) their children’s godparents. It was really a very special moment.
I will also never forget the way my father and husband looked at me when they saw me.

The Honeymoon

 

We stayed in Still Bay from the Saturday until the Wednesday, just for a little break. It wasn’t really a honeymoon. We are busy building, so we chose to build our home instead of going on an expensive honeymoon.

Wedding Gallery

 

My Special Day

Wedding look: All the flowers were white and green. The venue (Kleinbergskloof) is all white, like a blank canvas, with incredibly beautiful chandeliers hanging above the tables. Very classy and beautiful.

Hair and makeup: My hair was an up style. It was almost like a messy bun, but still elegant. My makeup was really beautiful. It made my eyes pop. It was done by the best, Makeup by Janelle Uys.

Wedding dress: My wedding dress was incredible! I bought the dress at The Wedding Boutique in Cape Town. The designer is Alena leena bridal. My dress was called the Mimosa. A romantically light, yet minimalistic bustier gown. The Mimosa features a luxurious silk blend polka dot jacquard and removable sleeves that can be worn off or on the shoulder. Hidden pockets and a cutout back add playfully sexy features to delight your most devoted loved one.

Shoes: My heels were from Steve Madden: Viyana court - white leather with studded detail. Later at the reception I changed to my Freedom Of Movement Blush Tekkies.

The Venue

We got married in Still Bay at Kleinbergskloof. We stayed in the cottage by die venue and our guests all stayed in Still Bay. Some have holiday homes and the rest stayed in guesthouses in Still Bay close to the venue.

My Bridal Beauty Regime

I have my own beauty salon, Blush, so all my beauty treatments were done there.
I tried to eat clean and to drink a lot of water. That helped to keep my skin nice and clear. I also have a good skincare regime. I love to exercise, so I just continued to cycle and run.

Wedding Elements

My decor was minimalistic. Everything was white and my flowers were white with green leaves. The venue (Kleinbergskloof) is stunning! It’s white and has the most beautiful chandeliers hanging above all the tables. It has beautiful high ceilings with soft lighting. We had a lot of tiny fairy lights in between the flowers and we also had some candles and lanterns with candles in. A big white tent attaches to the front of the venue with big stacking doors that leads out to where the ceremony was held under the tent, with white wimbledon fold up chairs for the guests to sit on during the ceremony. The venue also has stunning white leather couches for guests to sit on and relax.

My Groom And His Groomsmen

So the groom and groomsman (his brother) had suits made in Cape Town by Frank Bespoke. It was a deep dark green colour with a white long sleeve shirt and custom ties. They both wore their TAG heuer watches and brown leather shoes from Arthur Jack.

Beautiful Bridesmaids

I did not have a bridesmaid/s. My brother was my "bridesmaid." He is my best friend! We have an awesome relationship. He wore a suit from Markams with a white t-shirt and sneakers from Nike. Really stylish! He also wore his Calvin Klein watch.

Marriage Officer

Our marriage officer was Deon Swart.

My Captured Moments

Our photographer was Charles Donald from ReLife Photography. He is really talented and knows how to capture the small little details and beautiful moments that you usually miss. He made us feel very at ease and comfortable. There was never an awkward moment. We did not make use of a photo booth. We did have a Polaroid camera for our guests to use and to stick the foto’s in our guestbook with a little note. They loved it!

The Wedding Planner

The venue provided a wedding coordinator. She was amazing!

Wedding Transport

I did not have a wedding car. The cottage where I got dressed is right next to the venue. So you just walk quick.

Food & Cake

The venue has chefs and they prepared the food.
We did not have a wedding cake.

The Reception and Entertainment

No, we did not go for dance lessons. We are not good dancers so we just chose a very slow song so we just swayed. All the lighting and sound was done and provided by die venue. Our DJ was from Just For You. We also had a musician that sang live, Kenny Hughes.
