Destination brides are missing this one thing…It’s not the dress. Everyone has that part covered. Most brides don’t think about is everything around it. I’m not just there to pick looks, I’m there to make sure it all actually comes together. Destination brides - drop any questions you may have for me in the comments!
.
🖤 I pack with intention so you’re not missing pieces, undergarments, or the things that pull the look together
.
🖤 I execute everything in real time -getting you dressed, adjusting, making sure it looks how it’s supposed to
.
🖤 If something goes wrong, I handle it so you don’t even feel it and your friends and family can focus on being present for you. That’s the difference… you’re missing your bridal stylist lovelies!!

As we prepare for the biggest destination wedding our team has ever handled we will be sharing some very helpful content . 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Even with the soft launch of @solarahausgroup I still managed to hit the #nybfw streets and vibe with some of my fav people! Thank you @perfete@vendorindex for the perfect dinner . @dj_malike_ shut down the @misshayleypaige after party 🔥! Always a good time show hopping with @inthemomentcontentcreators and @millanova opened a brand new flag ship I can’t wait to book for client shopping experiences! I didn’t do too much and it felt great … until next season!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤 #bridalmarket #newyorkbridalfashionweek #vaingloriousbrides
About one year ago I offered a mentorship experience for emerging designers to teach them how to enter, thrive, and navigate the market. A place that can be very intimidating. Our mentee, @zateemeebride made the commitment and did the work to position herself to show at #NYBFW. She is our very first client and part of the reason why we are so passionate about designer education in the global wedding market. Thank you to all of our partners who made this “grand opening “ a success! @solarahausgroup … keep watching this space !

Zateemee Bride to Debut at Bridal Market with a Couture Collection Rooted in Heritage and Modern Elegance
New York, NY - Zateemee Bride, the couture bridal house founded by Nigerian designer Mercy Ngozi Udoh (née Abaye), will debut its latest collection at Bridal Market this April, marking the brand’s continued expansion into the global bridal space.
Known for its sculpted silhouettes and refined detailing, Zateemee Bride brings a distinct perspective to modern bridal by merging African heritage with contemporary couture. Each gown is designed with intention, balancing structure, romance, and presence to create pieces that feel both powerful and elevated.
Mercy Ngozi Udoh began her career in fashion as a model, where she developed a deep understanding of garment construction, fit, and visual impact. She transitioned into design in 2010, gaining early recognition for her award winning gown for the Miss Rivers State pageant, before formally establishing her brand in 2014.
“Zateemee Bride has always been about creating gowns that allow women to feel seen, confident, and unforgettable,” says Udoh. “This collection reflects both where we come from and where we are going.”
With a growing international presence, Zateemee Bride continues to position itself as a notable voice in couture bridal, offering a refined and globally resonant aesthetic for the modern bride.

There’s a sacred responsibility in photographing someone’s history unfolding in real time. It’s not just about being skilled, it’s about being present enough to see the things they might not see until much later.
