Onyeka
Lagos, Jan 2011
Yemi talks about Onyeka's dress: "Onyeka came through a recommendation from one of my other Lagos weddings. She wanted a dress that was elegant and timeless but that also showed off her figure. Lace was a good choice for that. The cathedral veil was also our creation – with a matching lace edging to the appliqué on the dress and bodice. Silhouette was a modified A-line."

Ronke
Marylebone Parish Church and Porchester Hall, London, Jun 2009
Ronke wanted a Grecian effect which we achieved with the tiny pleating and ruching on the bodice. The assymetrical look was provided by a single strap adorned with organza roses. Duchesse satin with an organza overlay – hand-stitched lace appliqués. Detachable train. The mantilla veil was also a Kosibah creation – with a lace border to match the lace of the gown.

Susan
Ilford, Essex, UK, Oct 2009
Yemi on Susan's dress: "Susan was a former intern at Kosibah and I'd always promised that I would make her wedding dress. The original inspiration was another dress in my collection – but modified to suit Susan. She wanted a red bow and that matched the accent Swarovski diamonte stones on the bodice and skirt. The tails of the bow sat on the train of the dress. I also designed her chief bridesmaid's dress in a design to complement Susan's gown."
