Price Range

Our price varies from headpiece to headpiece and they are commensurate to the quality and uniqueness of our products.

Do you only do Hairpieces?

No. we have varieties and in the future we intend to add casual to our line i.e. face caps etc and design hats for men.

What is the latest trend for brides and her bridesmaids?

In my own Opinion, i think a little spice should be added to the brides and bridesmaids so as not to have the usual look. so having french veils instead of the usual veil and tiara for the brides is not a bad idea and for the bridesmaid, feathers will always work plus it adds elegance to their outfit.

What is the difference between the hair piece and a veil?

There is a lot of difference between the two. Hairpieces are already finished products made from different materials while the Veils is a type of material.

Is there a name for each hair pieces?

Not yet but will be very soon.

New Trends

Out with the OLD - Don't be afraid of colours

Wine & Gold - add a touch of pink

White, Ivory& gold

Yellow, Red(yes red), Orange, Chocolate, - new HOT colours

Special Rants of the week

Every week we receive rants from you guys, this week we decided to post some of them, more to come next week. keep them coming.......

1. Unfortunately not all families are perfect or live happily ever after but that should not be

obvious during ones wedding. Do you not just hate it when mum and dad are

divorced/separated and that becomes an issue when it is time to make the wedding

invitations. Next week we will give you tips on wedding invitation for the troublesome

parents.

2. What is it that bride and groom do while taking pictures that they waste so much time before

coming in for the reception - very annoying.

3. Grooms - it is okay to take your jacket off for reception especially is you are sweating like a

Christmas goat.

4. Tissue residue on brides face - chief bridesmaid do your job, you should make sure her face is

always on point at all time.

5. Dropping gown - brides who do not fit their gowns before their D day. It is annoying to see a

bride trying to dance and hold on to her dress so it does not drop

This week

So are you game, lets hear from you.......................................

Molara & Gbemi

Questions of the Week:

Is it worth all the money we waste on real flowers or not? Real vs Artificial

Can you rent a wedding gown or not?

A Special Proposal: Yemi & Tosin

So... Here it goes...Picture this:

March 25, 2006, Tosin's birthday. It was a Saturday afternoon, and Yemi drove from Louisville to Nashville to come and spend my birthday with me. He brought me a bouquet of sunflowers, very pretty. Yemi told me he had made dinner reservations for my birthday, and he'll be picking me up from church after choir practice, so I had to dress nice.
Anyways, since it was my birthday, I didn't suspect anything, though I thought he was acting weird and Doyin (my younger sister) was acting extra nice. He picked me up for dinner at 7pm, and we went to the Cascades Restaurant at Gaylord Opryland Resort (beautiful scenery and good food, if you're in the Nashville area, it's a great place to visit). After dinner, we went on a riverboat ride on the Delta River, an indoor river at the resort. The boat was decorated with red and white rose petals, there was champagne on ice and Frank Sinatra's "It had to be you" was playing in the background. Now, I'm thinking to myself, "This is a really nice birthday, I could really get used to this!"
I was beginning to feel relaxed and enjoy the scenery, when we got to this beautiful waterfall. I was just about to talk to Yemi about the waterfall when he got on his right knee and asked me to marry him! Being the goofy person that I am, I laughed really hard for two minutes (out of joy, of course) and said yes! Well, the rest is history.



Wedding of The Week: Chinwe and Seun

The venues for the events?
The ceremony & reception took place at The Pacific Palms Resort, Los Angeles, California

What was your favorite part of your wedding?
Seeing family & friends laugh, dance . . . just having a good time

How was the planning process for you?
Seun & I planned our wedding, and we enjoyed making our day very personal. There were a lot of discussions, disagreements, making up but We were a very good team, especially because all the planning took place over emails, phone calls, it was long distance.

If you could change anything what would it be?
God exceeded my expectation I won't change a thing

If you could add anything what would it be?
Not necessarily add, but I would have relaxed more during the planning process, and just trusted God by not worrying

Any advice for brides to be ....
Have fun at every stage, the wedding process flies by too fast

Rants of the Week:

1. Brides who wear gloves - whats up with that, now the grooms who wear gloves (comon now)

2. Please fur is not for Nigerian brides. Please do not drape yourself or your gown with any form of fur PLEASE!!!!!!!
