In Afrikaans we have an expression: Jy kan haar deur ‘n ring trek – which translates to someone who always looks impeccable. Tanya is one of these woman. Not only is she always perfectly put together, but she is incredibly beautiful and petite…the classic embodiment of picture perfect bride.

Don’t be fooled. Her beauty isn’t merely defined by her appearance. Her demeanor is soft, sweet and welcoming. A gorgeous woman both inside and out . Her mom, who accompanied her to all the fittings, was such an integral part of the design process and it was such a pleasure and privilege to witness this mother-daughter team share in this significant journey.

Her figure hugging dress was fashioned from a light nude stretch lining, with a meld of snow white corded and Chantilly lace. The plunging neckline and straps were made from nude mesh and detailed with hand sewn flower and leaf applique. The look was finished with a classic long lace-trimmed train and veil. Timeless. Elegant. Graceful. Absolute perfection!
