Magical Moments

 

A honeysuckle bird flying around the chapel. The meaning of a honeysuckle bird is to live in the moment and enjoy the simple things, that is exactly how the day went!

And the first kiss, of course!

The Honeymoon

 

Not yet sadly! But we are hoping to go in December.

Wedding Gallery

 

My Special Day

Simple, minimalist and elegant. My wedding Dress was designed by Amanda Ferri. A lacey bodice with a simple draping skirt. My veil was my mom's. My shoes were from Mango. Lingerie from Woolworths. Jewelry and accessories from Lovisa. My hair and make up was done by Kendyl from Nixon make up. I always pictured my hair exactly how it was. A low bun with a ribbon plaited in between. Make up was a dark brown smokey eye with contour.

The Venue

Our venue was Seeet Home Weddings and Functions in Kwa-Zulu Natal. We had 4t guest and all our guest stayed on the property.

My Bridal Beauty Regime

A simple bridal regime. We had previously postponed our wedding so my regime continued for longer than it should have. When our wedding date suddenly opened, I managed to plan everything in two weeks. I used Esse Skincare Sensitive Range along with the Clarifying spot corrector when needed. My hair was colored by Jade at Carlton hair Ballito and treated by Mycro Kerarin. I got a spray tan at The Skin Connection using Tan Lab. That is pretty much all I could do in two weeks.

Wedding Elements

Very minimalistic. We used dried flowers in our bouquet and table arrangements. Our vases were all DIY. Bought from the SPCA and we painted them to our colour pallet. We had a curtain of Fairy lights behind our main table and that was all.

My Groom And His Groomsmen

Chinos from Woolworths with white button up shirts. Ties and bow ties from His Apparel. Brown belts and shoes.

Beautiful Bridesmaids

Elegant and pink. The bridesmaids wore infinity dresses in dusty pink. This was so that they could be comfortable and style their dress to suit their body shape.

My Captured Moments

Lauren Setterburg was our incredible photographer! And SB films were our videography team.

The Wedding Planner

Yes, Luci from Luxe Events

Food & Cake

The mother of the groom made the canepe snacks, wedding cake and dessert and then Belinda from Eat with Love did gourmet burgers for dinner.

Wedding Stationery

The bride :D

The Reception and Entertainment

We did not take dance lessons. We just felt the moment. Our sound and lighting was the venue owner who has DJ experience.
