About
Two friends, one promise
Bisola and Amaka planned each other's weddings in 2016. By the end of the second one, they had a waiting list of friends, and Ever and Ivy began.
Our story
From a waiting list to two studios
We opened our first studio in Ikoyi in 2017 with one desk, a sample cupboard and a promise to every couple: we will treat your families as our own. In 2021 Fatima joined to open our Abuja studio in Maitama.
Today our team of eleven plans around forty weddings and fifteen traditional ceremonies a year. We keep the number small on purpose, so every couple has a lead planner who knows their story by heart.
Values
What we promise
Families first
We honour both families, their traditions and their elders, every step of the way.
Calm, always
Clear plans and early decisions mean no panic, even when it rains.
Honest money
A fixed fee, no mark ups and a budget you can see any time.
Beauty with meaning
Design that tells your story, not the trend of the month.
