Leandri Du Preez

Married on Apr 16, 2022 in Free State

Magical Moments

 

I had an amazing day with My Mother in Law and Bridesmaids, getting ready , eating snacks and just laughing.
When we got to the chapel, realized I forgot my Vows, my uncle rushed my Maid of honour to go get them.

Seeing my husbands tears while I was walking down the isle, seeing how proud he is of becoming my husband was such an amazing feeling for me!

My husband wrote a poem, just for me for me, it was so special.

My Brother wrote a song that was edited and recorded by Droomsindroom- This was such an overwhelming moment for me as he played such a big role in my life! The song was about us growing up and how proud he is of his blue eyed, dark haired sister, how tough times makes you strong and asking my husband to please look after me, this ment the world to me

The Honeymoon

 

We went to Mauritius for our Honeymoon! Sun, sea and cocktails all day long!
What an amazing place to celebrate your wedding! We toured through Mauritius and got to know their culture.

My Special Day

My wedding dress was from Stanley Baptiste - what an amazing experience meeting him!
Days before my wedding, the dress I had already bought was not up to expectation.
Stanley was there to assist us, after I completely fell in love with one of his dresses, he made me feel calm and Confident!
I had a dress that was out of this world, felt like a queen walking on clouds!

My Hair was done by #Hair in Bloemfontein - we went with a Classic Curl and side style with some timeless hair accessories. They made my day special, the whole family was there to do their hair, it turned out exactly as I wanted!

My Shoes was " something borrowed" from one of my Bridesmaids.

Jewelry was from Sterns - from my husband - something New

My Bridal Beauty Regime

When a couple decides on their wedding date, the pressure is on! Luckily me and my fiancé (at that time) was fortunate enough to already be an a healthy road with the help of our Gym instructor Nicole Dessels from Bodies by Design in Bloemfontein 073 338 6248. High protein meals, lots of home made smoothies packed with nutrients to give that "feel good Glow" and energy all the time. When the wedding came, we felt amazing and confident.
My skin treatments was started months before our wedding.
I started with Derma Facial lazer to lighten pigmentation on my face and décolleté area, this was done at Done's Beauty Salon 051 444 5600 (Bloemfontein).

I started Facial Micro needling at Pretty Polished about 1year before the wedding, so my skin could soak up my Skincare, soften fine lines and plump my skin.

The friday before my wedding,my Mother in law spoiled me with a day at Serenity Beauty Salon in Bloemfontein - 071 608 0759, Tarien prepped my skin and helped me relax. I had a pedicure, massage, dermaplan facial with a chemical peel and treatment, it felt like heaven and my skin looked flawless for our big day.
