~ Saturday ~
The morning was fun and fairly relaxed with only a few hiccups. We woke early and had breakfast together, before DF headed to one of the groomsmen’s villa’s to get ready with the boys, so the girls, my niece and mum could came to our place for hair, makeup and to get ready.
We'd hoped for a sunny day (especially after all the flooding issues) and quickly realised it was going to get HOT! when DF left at 8.30am it was already 28ºC
Our hair & makeup artists were lovely and very patient with everyone to make sure we all looked our very best. We had a hiccup when one of the bridesmaid dresses didn't fit, luckily Emma our makeup artist, came to the rescue with a temporary fix using the wraps to convert our strapless dresses into halter neck dresses. Very rough and not the best look but it seemed to work ok and we were already on time.

The girls
The flowers arrived mid-morning, dropped off by the lovely Tanya from Angel Blooms. The flowers were absolutely phenomenal! a gorgeous mix of peonies, lisianthus and a few gardenias for sent.

The boys had problems of their own during
the morning and it held up our photographers, so we were all ready to go when
Julie, our photographer arrived. Thankfully we had just enough time for a few quick photos,
before we had to go, but not as many as I had hoped/planned for.
Looking back it is the one thing I am
most disappointed about as I so wanted to get special photos with each of the
girls and my parents. Throughout the day I did manage to get photos with most
in group scenario’s, but I missed out on a photo with my niece and we only had
one with my parents as part of the family group.
