Dillon & Michelle {Wedding}
/Our Wedding Venue...{The Set Up}
/Here are a few gorgeous photo's from our special friend Sophie of Sophie Smith Photography
(if you can remember, Soph did our engagement shoot a few months back and we were thrilled with the photographs...these are no exception!).
Sophs, thank you for capturing these special moments, and for being on hand to help out with all of the preparations!!
These photo's will give you a little bit of an idea of all the hard work that went on behind the scenes to make our dream venue a reality. These are just photo's from The Shed. The Barn, where our ceremony was held was a little dark to capture properly, so will post those as well as all the official piccies from our photographer Jacki Bruniquel soon!
These lovely ladies were incredible with my flowers! Thank you Gail & Ren!!!! Lots and lots of love to you two! x
serious face, arranging those bird cages was hard work you know ;)
My Farmboy, making his handmade tables just right
Crockery was hired from
in Joburg! They were so delightfully perfect on the tables, I was thrilled!
The Hutton Brothers, enjoying some tea!
Weather proofing The Shed! The day before the wedding it poured with rain! We were so worried the same would happen on the day, but it was all sunny clear sky's on our Big day!
Tea break time!
Tired busy bee's!

Yuppiechef Gift Registry
/It was super easy to set up, I just went onto the website, filled in the registration form, and started shopping! Yuppiechef stocks everything and anything your kitchen could ever possibly need, and with brands ranging from Le Creuset to Bodum to Jamie Oliver you really are spoilt for choice!
The team at Yuppiechef kept in touch every step of the way, informing me if things were out of stock, and then giving me an option to either wait until it came in, or to choose something else of equal value...how nice are they!
Every gift that our guests ordered for us arrived in perfect condition, no bumps or scratches (and they came all the way from Cape Town! And guests didn't have to lug prezzies all the way to our wedding, but knew that when we got back from honeymoon, their precious cargo would be delivered safe and sound.
AND it's free delivery on all orders anywhere in South Africa! How cool is that :)
Here are some photo's of Farmboy unwrapping some of our wedding presents...

Rob & Lee {Wedding}
/It's now officially, one week to go until Farmboy and I walk to the aisle! Last night was a wonderful escape from all the hustle and bustle of preparing for our wedding. It's really important to try and take a break from the all the 'wedding' talk, and gain some perspective into the real meaning behind weddings.
I have had to be reminded a few times by friends that you are a bride for a day, but a wife for life. It's so easy to get carried away {read: obsessed} with every little detail, and worry about this going wrong, or that not happening at the right moment. And ladies, trust me when I say this, your man is going to go crazy with all the wedding talk...make sure to schedule in some 'couple' time where the {W} word isn't allowed to crop up :)
Here are a few photo's I took of the day {you might remember the Hen's party we threw for Lee a few weeks back...if not, click here for a little reminder}
This is a snap of me {left} and two lovely ladies {far left is one of my bridesmaids for next week!} |

Sarah has been incredible to work with so far, with a menu that includes the likes of "cream cheese stuffed dates skewered with parma ham" and "marinated lamb cutlets with coriander and honey" I am hoping that I have enough time in between greeting guests to fill my tummy!
The Harris & Homes website is under construction, but in the mean time you can contact Sarah direct on 074 183 8745
