We are very grateful to Dee, Doyin and Efe for allowing us to share some moments from their special days.
Lagos, Dec 2009
Dee
Sopwell House, St Albans, UK, June 2009
Yemi says: "Dee found me through the National Wedding Show and she wanted a design that would cover her shoulders. We settled on a jacket as the best way to achieve that. Dee's dress featured an A-line organza skirt with a beaded bodice."

Doyin
Lagos, 2009
Yemi on Doyin's dress:
"Doyin had seen a dress that I'd done for a previous client and contacted me through Facebook. We modified the dress design that she'd seen to suit her taste - in particular we added a detachable top made from organza and lace appliqué. It had an A-line skirt which had lace appliqués stitched on by hand. I was very pleased that Doyin chose to fly me to Nigeria to dress her for her wedding."
