Kika

Kika is a real life princess. Honey blonde tresses frame her face and her big blue eyes mirror the sincerity and softness of her heart. She’s just lovely! I love it when we can fuse an intimate detail into the design. In Kika’s case she arrived armored with the most beautiful lace that was once part of her mother’s wedding gown….

Tanya

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….

Anri

Sensitive, soft spoken and incredibly sweet – that’s Anri for you. A chef by trade, her creativity seeps through every pore and is expressed through the simplicity and candor of her personal style. Her ivory and blush pink dress was fashioned from a blush pink stretch lining and layered with a fine ivory Chantilly lace. The flowy skirt was made…

A picture tells a thousand words…and these images perfectly portray the essence of this beautiful bride, Alte-Marè. She’s so exuberant and her visits always left me with a smile on my face and a song in my heart. Her optimism and love of life is totally contagious. I would imagine that anywhere she treads, she leaves it a better place….

Suzanne

I absolutely love this bride. Suzanne is a graphic designer, so by implication she’s super creative. She also (evidently!) has amazing taste. But not in the traditional sense. She’s edgy, funky and just…well..fabulous! (Not to mention she has the most beautiful hair ever!) The process was a bit different with her, as she actually organized her wedding from Brazil, where…

It tells a story and their love for each other are evident in every image. Love, love, love it! Sophie’s good looks is an extension of her nature. Loved…

Leandra

When I think of Leandra, I think bubbly, spontaneous, lively, loving and cheerful…a woman with a contagious zest for life!  She and her husband, Jaques, were part of an Afrikaans production pinned Pasgetroud. They document the couple’s entire journey leading up to their big day. Super fun and exciting! For you curious cats, here’s a  trailer. Her full length lace dress was fashioned from corded…

Leonore

I’ve known Leonore since school and though she has always been incredibly soft on the eyes, she has blossomed into an incredibly beautiful woman. And I don’t mean that in a shallow sense…her beauty extends from within, encircling her with a serene, gracious semblance.   Her stunning fitted dress was fashioned from off white stretch crepe with panneling detail and…

Lucia

It’s no secret that Lucia’s dress is one of my absolute favourites. Last year I submitted this design for the Top Vendor Wedding Awards and it won an award for the best wedding dress 2016.  I can’t possibly take all the credit though – because we all know the dress does not maketh the woman. The woman maketh the dress….

Carien

Carien is derived from the french name Carine – meaning: Pure. And that is exactly how I would describe this beautiful bride. Pure of heart. Pure of intent. She’s just lovely. She also has a lovely figure. Thus, to show of those gorgeous curves, we went for a fitted dress fashioned from stretch crepe, with a slight flair to bottom,…

Janette

I actually had to refer to a Thesaurus to find words to describe just how gorgeous, graceful, dazzling, exquisite… Janette looked on her wedding day! Absolutely breathtaking! Her ivory wedding dress was fashioned from raw silk and had a plunging V-neckline, thin spaghetti straps across the back and a full circle skirt with pockets. Twelve meters of superfine tulle was…

Niki

Sugar and spice and all things nice. That’s Niki for you. She’s one of those genuinely nice people. Someone you consider a old friend from the first meet. Her wedding was hosted at Langkloof Roses – it’s an amazing venue with breathtaking views and a folksy, unpretentious vibe. Her dress possessed a self-same, modest quality. Her two piece wedding gown…

Comien

Bronzed skin, blonde hair and blue eyes never did make an unsightly bride… Comien’s beauty however isn’t skin deep. It extends to her very core and reverberates outward, leaving you inspired and somehow softened. Her beautiful blush pink and ivory wedding gown was fashioned from silk satin, with a beaded Chantilly lace bodice and layered silk tulle skirt. Absolutely stunning! Fotograaf:…
