Some bridal couples simply ooze the perfect combination of fashion forward elegance & modern African glamour. And this – quite simply – is what Ebun & Segun’s wedding was all about. With 200 stylish Nigerian guests joining in their chic Cape Town destination wedding – this 3-day celebration was one of glamorous lounging and late-night partying on the luxurious Val de Vie Polo Estate.

Dressed in a luxury couture gown by London designer Carolina Castigliano the bride walked down the aisle preceded by her eight bridesmaids in stunning coral dresses by Nigeria’s new bridal fashion label “Something Peridot”. Of course the groom and his retinue matched in style with hand-tailored Italian suits.

“Sophistication and making a statement with modern opulent florals”– were the brides’ design vision for her exclusive celebration. The highlight however was to be the elegant lounge concept – designed by our Wedding Concepts team – to have all guests relax and later put their dancing feet up in style.

With a real-life Polo match as a backdrop during the cocktail hour, the guests indulged in a day of equestrian highlights and French Champagne – all whilst celebrating in stylish lounge cabanas overlooking the polo field.

The reception highlights were many: from the exquisite wedding cake, the laser-cut stationery details and the personalised gift tokens to the 12 meter bridal table, luxurious damask cloths and opulent floral centrepieces to a carefully styled dessert display – no detail was overlooked.

Contemporary design touches added to the glamour of this wedding day: ghost chairs, modern floral installations and chic trendy furniture.

With über-cool Nigerian DJ Obi, the fashionable guests partied the night away to swanky tunes in their very own “nightclub-lounge”. Lagos & London – are bound to talk about this luxurious destination wedding for a while to come. And our team were thrilled to have been part of it!
