My Special Day

I went for a slight semi elegant look with my beach wedding dress that was rented through Mystique bridal services in Rustenburg. My hair was done by Tano at Inspire Salon located in jeffreysbay, he gave me a soft curl to compliment my dress, and topped it off with a small crown suitable for a princess. I had some diamonds and pearls around my neck, ears and right hand to round off my attire. My make up was a very smokey eye and lighter on the lower face to enhance the eyes, it was perfect.

The Venue

We had our ceremony and venue at Die Walskipper in Jeffreysbay. Our guests stayed over in The Greystone guesthouse, Penniquin and Sea shells.

My Bridal Beauty Regime

Inspiration hair gallery did my hair extensions, waxing, spray tan and all round beauty in Rustenburg.
We had couples massages at Sabai Thai day spa in Rustenburg.
We both gym daily as part of our lifestyle to ensure we stay healthy and in good shape.

Wedding Elements

We had a beach ceremony and venue with peacock feathers, angel wings and some sea flower arrangements as we are not big fans of flower arrangements. Fabulous functions did all our decor and arrangements at Die Walskipper, their staff went beyond to ensure we had a great wedding.

My Groom And His Groomsmen

The grooms attire was rented through Mystique's bridal services, he went for a semi formal look with sand beige pants rolled up to the calves, and white long sleeve shirt rolled up, with braces and caramel slip on shoes. The best man was dressed with short sleeved white shirt and sand beige pants rolled up.

Beautiful Bridesmaids

My maid of honor was dressed in a sleek sexy off the shoulder white mini dress, inspired by her own creativity and look, she had sandles on that compliments the dress and her figure.
