Embellish me Weddings this Autumn

In Nigeria, its quite normal to have tons and tons of weddings towards the end of the year especially around christmas but this year has been quite different.  It actually seems like people are running away from the end of the year for their nuptial celebrations.  Makes a lot of sense though. The choas involved, finding a tailor (dressmaker) to get all your 'Aso-Ebi' (fabric given to family and friends for the celebration) made, going from wedding  party to the next or even having to decide which wedding to go for because you are a bridesmaid or hostess for 2/3 different friends on the same day. Its madness and can be extremely exhausting. 

There are still many December weddings but at least theres is an all year balance presently.

Its quite common to find themed Spring, summer and autumn weddings in Nigeria despite that fact that we actually dont have four seasons in this part of the globe.  Nonetheless, its still uber fabulous.

Here is a sneak peek into some of Embellish Me's Summer and Autumn weddings and a few fashionistas that Embellished the wedding ceremonies they attended.
