For the proposal, Steve took Ilse on holiday to Richards Bay. He bought a pizza and a bottle of wine and they found a quiet spot next to the sea. He then surprised Ilse by going down on one knee, and the rest is history!
Dusty pink was the colour scheme of the day
Ilse says that she was so lucky with dress shopping because she found her dress in the first shop that she walked into
Ilse says that the bicycle wheel with the flowers was one of her most favourite features of the chapel
The bride wanted her wedding to be simple, but elegant and that is exactly what she got
Cabbage and Rose provided a “plaas kombuis” meal that was loved by all
The couple says that their most memorable moment was when they were in the glass chapel and it started to rain, but not too long, and then the sun came out
Ilse and Steve were friends for a while, but both of them were too shy to make a move. One day Steve plucked up the courage to tell Ilse how he felt, and clearly it was worth the wait
Ilse kept her bridal party small with only two bridesmaids and two flower girls
Mila Photography provided for the beautiful wedding photos for this couple’s special day to last forever
