Is This My Dress?

I actually came across this dress about 3 years ago when a friend of mine was planning her wedding. This was one of the few dresses that she looked at that I thought was GORGEOUS!! The dress is by Christina Wu.

The color on this dress was practically perfect, it's a mermaid fit, and I just knew this is something I would try on when it came time for me to get married.

Fast forward to now when I'm actually LOOKING for dresses. Something I didn't realize is that wedding dresses get discontinued every couple of years, therefore, the likelihood of me being able to try on this dress was very slim. The only way I would have been able to find the dress is to find it used. While I'm not opposed to that, I haven't yet found someone who has it for me to even try it on.

My only other option would be to have the dress custom made without ever having tried it on.

Do you think that's the direction I went? Is this my dress?

Wedding - Doyin and Mariko

Photography by Evoke Photography

Photography Excerpt: There is such a neat story behind this wedding. Mariko and her sister Aiko met with us to book for both of their weddings because they were getting married in the same year. Mariko was in August, and Aiko in November, so we were really excited to meet and get to know everyone at Mariko & Doyin’s wedding (both Aiko and her fiance Graham were in the bridal party), and then to get to see them all again in just a few short months!! It was like something out of a movie to have two sisters planning their wedding’s side by side, with only a few months between their dates! Both Mariko and Doyin are such sweethearts, and we could tell from their engagement session that we were going to have such a great time with them! I don’t think I’ve ever met a groom with such a big heart as Doyin, and you can tell from his constant smile that spans to both ears, that he’s got a great outlook on life. When we arrived at the church Doyin introduced me to his identical twin brother (and when I say identical I’m not kidding!!) who had just as big a smile! I could only tell the two apart by the color of their ties, and if they were standing directly next to each other, Doyin is just a hair taller than his brother. This lighthearted crew made for quite the party, and it got even better when Doyin and his brother decided to pull of the twin-brother switch, and give their toasts as each other!! At the end of the toast, Doyin annouced that he was in fact his brother, and that they had pulled off the ultimate prank on Mariko. This was so hilarous to watch because you really couldn’t tell if they were serious. This went on for a few minutes, until everyone took their que from the bride who called their bluff! Turns out, they just said they switched, but you coulda fooled me! These guys defitely knew how to have a good time, and it was a blast to be there with them. I love how natural and romantic their images are. Be sure to check out the dance photo sequence, cause the part was just getting started! Enjoy.

Look for Less: Enzoani/Allure

I recently had someone contact me in regards to doing a look for less for the Enzoani Fawn. When I first took a look at the dress, I'd frankly never seen anything like it and thought it would be quite hard for me to find something similar.

Fortunately, I was able to find SOMETHING similar. What do you think? Is it pretty close in similarity?

Enzoani Fawn = ~$2,500


Allure C164 = ~$1,000

Funke & Ayo

This bride's gown reminds me of a dress that I tried on for my own wedding. It's GORGEOUS!!! The couple also used a color that we don't see that much in Naija weddings....yellow. Enjoy!!

Aso-Ebi Outfit of the Week

I know it's been awhile since I had an Aso-Ebi Outfit of the Week, so you must forgive me for my laziness.

But, I'm starting it back up again, and this one is a doozy. I am ALL for being different, and I LOVE feathers, but I'm not so sure that even I could have pulled this outfit off. I'm sure though that she got lots of love for it. Enjoy!!
