Patience + Muyiwa’s Nigerian Engagement Ceremony at the Alexander Hotel
Patience and Muyiwa were to wed this spring, but like many, plans changed because of Covid. They moved their date to 10.10.2020 and combined their two day plan into one. Their morning Nigerian Engagement Ceremony was incredible. The combining of two families was really moving. The color, dancing, and groom pushups kept me on my toes which I love. Walter and I may have teared up a few times. It was such a beautiful morning with so many meaningful elements. We loved every minute. Their second wedding day will be coming in another blog post. More soon!
Patience and Muyiwa’s Fall Newfields Wedding Ceremony
Patience and Muyiwa’s wedding day was a breathtaking celebration of love, culture, and elegance, beginning with a vibrant Nigerian engagement ceremony at The Alexander. The morning was filled with tradition, color, and joyful energy as family and friends gathered to honor the couple in a ceremony rich with meaning and heritage. Patience radiated beauty and grace in her attire, while Muyiwa’s presence was equally striking and dignified. The morning festivities set the tone perfectly for the unforgettable day to come, seamlessly orchestrated by Sarah of Plum and Poppy, whose expert coordination ensured every detail flowed effortlessly.
As the day transitioned into a stunning outdoor ceremony on the Garden Terrace at Newfields, the atmosphere shifted to pure romance. Surrounded by lush blooms from RK Florals and glowing golden light, Patience stepped out in a timeless Pronovias gown from Marie Gabriel Couture, while Muyiwa was dashing in his Suit Supply tux. With loved ones witnessing their vows, the couple’s joy was unmistakable. The celebration continued into the night at the elegant Deer Zink Pavilion, where delicious bites from Kahn Catering and Beautiful Shades Catering fueled the fun. From the stylish bridal party dressed in Dessy to the lively tunes spun by DJ Indiana Jones and DJ Delly Jay, the day was a beautiful blend of tradition, elegance, and unforgettable moments.
