African Themed Wedding : Flashback



This year, I've decided to do something different in my blogging. In addition to my usual articles, I thought it would be nice to talk about 12 different themed weddings I have done overtime and why they stood out for me and probably if there is anything I could do different.

My first article would be on an African themed wedding that I did 2 years ago in the month of February. I guess this was one wedding that had to confirm whether I was really up to the challenge of something really different and gratefully, I was.



Right from the start, I knew I was dealing with a different kind of bride who knew exactly what she wanted. From the usual fresh flower arrangements on the cars to using dried flowers for the arrangement. The commonly called "uteo" in African language, was a great option to use in bringing the arrangement together on the bridal car.



The bridal bouquet and her maids too were dried floral arrangement instead of fresh flowers. The use of pots and animal prints fabrics added more to the overall African themed wedding. I guess at the end of the day, I loved the way all the pieces came together and the earthy colors connected the theme. Wouldn't change anything about it if I was to do it all over again.

  2. Hi Deniyo Nil, sorry I'm responding to you a month later. Congratulations on your wedding. Since this is the last day of March I'm assuming it has happened by now. I would love to see the overall look of your wedding. Hope it came together as you wanted. Thanks about the pictures. This was an awesome wedding I put together for a client in 2013 based on her African theme. Thanks for reading and taking time to respond.
