From the bride to be...

We got engaged on 22 February 2014 and 2 weeks later the date was set for 18 April 2015. This meant that I had loads of time to plan. As I scrolled through thousands of images on blogs, pinterest, instagram etc I was overwhelmed by colours, flowers, dresses and, yes, even runners for tables. I always knew that I wanted a soft, natural and elegant look for my wedding. While I kept to that theme in making my final decisions as to dress, colour theme, flowers and so on, I also fell in love with the current trend of barefoot, boho sheek weddings with understated but detailed dresses, flower crowns and bold red lips.

I had moments of internal conflict. I only get 1 wedding day. 1 chance to "get it right". I loved my soft colours of the actual day, but my alter ego wanted to be different. Typical! Then it dawned on me...I could utilise our engagement shoot to express this other side of me. My fiance was super excited as the understated, boho concept was a true reflection of his style.

We contacted our photographers, they loved the idea! I had a dress made, ordered some flowers for my hair and bought a bow tie for the groom to be. The jazzy bistro Meet on Milner, situated in the old Waterkloof area, was kind enough to allow us to use their space.

We had the best time on the day of the shoot! Dressing up made us feel a bit more confident and the photographers also had a lot of fun with the look. We are in awe of the mesmerizing work they did for the shoot and I am now content having had the opportunity to express "the other side of my style".
