My Special Day

We went for a Nordic theme: braids and beads in the hair, jewelry mostly gold, pendant earrings, wedding dress had corset boning with a lace up back and the veil was more of a hood, there was also a fur coat that later replaced the veil to keep warm.

The Venue

We got married at Riverside Country Estate, some of our guests stayed over at the venue and joined us for breakfast the following morning.

My Bridal Beauty Regime

Honestly, nothing fancy. I mainly used handmade goatmilk and honey soap to clean my face every day to tame any breakouts.

Wedding Elements

The colour theme was burgundy, gold and woody colours, we had lots of greenery with fairylights and wooden lanterns filled with warm toned flowers that was in season at the time. The bide and groom table had two antique goblets to toast from.

My Groom And His Groomsmen

The groom wore a black shirt with a burgundy waistcoat and tie. The groomsmen wore burgundy shirts with black waistcoats and ties.

Beautiful Bridesmaids

The bridesmaids wore burgundy infinity dresses with a mesh skirt and black heels.

Marriage Officer

My Captured Moments

Ellen and Marco worked together to capture all our special moments. We had a photobooth with Viking themed props and a giant ring structure filled with botanicals to act as a frame.

The Wedding Planner

Hein was our coordinator for the day.

Food & Cake

Riverside staff took care of the delicious food and the beautiful cake.

The Reception and Entertainment

Our DJ was Gary, he also did the lighting. Ruan and I did not have any lessons but we did practice in the livingroom until we knew what to do. My dad and I just decided to wing it.
