Every love story is beautiful, but some weddings take that beauty to the next level, becoming moments so exquisite they belong on the pages of a magazine. At Prestige Event Design, that’s our standard. Whether it’s a lavish Ghanaian ceremony or a chic Igbo-American celebration, we specialize in transforming cultural richness into high fashion, unforgettable design, and seamless execution.
If you’re dreaming of a magazine-worthy African wedding, here’s a peek behind the scenes at how we bring your vision to life and make magic you’ll relive forever.
The Power of Vision: Where the Design Journey Begins
Every iconic wedding begins with a dream.
Our journey starts with an in-depth consultation, where we uncover the heart of your story, your cultural roots, your aesthetic preferences, your priorities, and the experiences you want to share with your guests. Whether you envision traditional attire under a floral canopy or a black-tie ballroom with subtle nods to your heritage, we begin by listening.
Then, we begin to design, not just a wedding, but a once-in-a-lifetime experience tailored entirely to you.
Behind the Scenes: Turning Culture and Concept into a Cohesive Plan
As your African luxury wedding planner, we go far beyond timelines and vendor calls.
We craft a cohesive aesthetic that’s rooted in your heritage but styled with the sophistication of an editorial shoot. From there, we begin the intricate dance of logistics and creativity:
- We design personalized mood boards that reflect your color palette, attire inspirations, floral vision, and cultural motifs
- We coordinate tastings, walkthroughs, fittings, and rehearsals, all with a white-glove approach
- We source elite vendors who match your values and style: floral artists, lighting designers, culinary teams, and entertainment with flair
We consult with your family to ensure customs and traditions are honoured with grace and meaning
Visual Storytelling: From Mood Boards to Wedding Day Wow
At Prestige, design is more than décor, it’s visual storytelling.
We draw inspiration from African textiles, global fashion runways, fine art, and architecture to craft weddings that look like a masterpiece. Think:
- Layered tablescapes in bold jewel tones, with Ankara-print napkins folded alongside hand-calligraphed menus
- Suspended floral installations inspired by Yoruba crowns
- Runway-inspired second looks for the couple, styled for maximum photo impact
- Lighting that mimics the warmth of a West African sunset
Every element, from the welcome signage to the getaway car ribbon, is carefully curated for aesthetic consistency and stunning photos.
