Humbled and honoured to be featured in a truly special and personal piece by @britishvogue and @es.robertson . Thank you for capturing and sharing the very essence, heart and joy of the wedding day.
A partnership deeply rooted in love and heritage. When I started thinking about the dress I wanted to design I thought no further than Torlowei.
Folds of fabric nodding to the Atlantic waves between my countries of origin and highlighting the waters in the creeks of my maternal homeland - the Niger Delta in Nigeria - this dress was a journey of fairytales.
Once the detachable train was removed a cornucopia was revealed on the back of the dress filled with a bouquet of Torlowei’s signature tulips; hand stitched in live time by Ms Patience Torlowei herself. She decided to include this to represent the abundance of joy, love and blessings woven into the union.
I can’t thank you enough for bringing my vision to life and showcasing the beauty of wearable art.

As we reach the end of the year and I (finally) make my last wedding post I’m dedicating it to one thing… community. A wedding is super hard and it’s often difficult not to lose sight of the integral union that grounds it or ignore the effort people put in to ensure the foundations are stable.
One thing I’ll take from it however… is family is a little more than your DNA. It’s about the people you pick up on the way and those who offer you grace when perhaps you don’t deserve it… From the paint on your lip and the lens that tells your story to the stitches that hold your dress and the borrowed articles of support 💎. Beyond anything I’m grateful this year for the people I get to call family ❤️ Here’s to 2026 🥂

In Bayelsa, coral is more than beauty — it is honour, protection and lineage. A Bayelsan bride wears coral to honour where she comes from, and to bless where she is going.
Thousands of hand stitched corals later, today I carry generations in every bead — Thank you @zaynabsaphirng for the effort you invested in creating this piece of art ❤️
Day 2: we were fortunate enough - with the guidance and welcome of Father Anthony Nwosu - to hold a private mass under the Vatican Nave in St Peter’s Tomb. A 6am start to the day has never felt so beautiful. To God be the Glory!
A brief pause on the more curated content: the Wednesday was one of the most surreal days of our collective lives. A blessing on our marriage by Pope Leo XIV. If you’re into architecture, history, culture and details, this carousel should be a feast for the eyes! 😍
