The Truth About The Truth

“Don’t assume, ask. Be kind. Tell the truth. Don’t say anything you can’t stand behind fully. Have integrity. Tell people how you feel.”

Beautiful Existence

“It’s not my responsibility to be beautiful. I’m not alive for that purpose. My existence is not about how desirable you find me.”

I love weddings and I LOVE my culture! (I’m Nigerian - Esan specifically; from Edo state). . Nigerian [traditional] weddings are so rich in culture, colour, emotion, food and fun. . I married someone from a different culture to me but since the very beginning, we have always embraced our differences and taken a genuine interest in getting to know and understand more about where each of us are from. . Typically in Nigeria, you are ‘from’ where your Dad originates which means that if your mother comes from a different state (as mine does), that sadly gets left out of the conversation. . I was intent on representing both of the tribes I hail from at our wedding and I did! (My mum is Igbo) My friend did the same thing at his wedding (slide for a pic). It was great to see him and the beautiful bride representing both the Yoruba and Akwa Ibom tribes. . On another note, I enjoy staring at my Eastern European husband in traditional wear 😍 this was his first trip to Nigeria and he loved it! Success! . 📷 @jopstudios

Set the table set the tone. . I created this tablescape and floral arrangement for fun. . I love what I do; planning and designing brings me the sort of joy I previously only got from writing, reading and travelling. . This is something I’ve wanted to do for over a decade and I’m grateful for every twist, turn, high and low of the journey so far. . If you have a dream, chase it. You never know what it will look and feel like until you do. . Styling, florals, stationery: @byavecreations

I’m not just a wedding and party planner ( over at @byavecreations ) but a professional party guest too! . This is how you show up and show out when one of your closest friends marries the love of his life. . I’m channeling this joy and energy this week. How about you? . 📷 @jopstudios 👗 @jbliving
