Kosibah Dazzles at FLARE, The Oaken Event

You are cordially invited to bask in the glow that is bridal bliss, courtesy of world renowned event planner Preston Bailey and bridal, evening-wear designer Yemi Osunkoya of Kosibah and Oaken Events.

"The bride spends most of her time with her back to the guests. Hence, I put as much effort in making the back of a wedding gown look as beautiful as the front." - Yemi Osunkoya

True words from a true bridal designer! The designer sticks to his African roots, by using traditional fabric, such as Aso-oke, Adire and Ankara. Yemi also incorporates other fabrics into his designs, such as organza, textured tulle, raw silk and embellishes with Swarovski crystals for a touch of luxury. His designs celebrates the real woman, with curves and shape. With excellent and elegant draping and corseting, the lovely designer pays tribute to the hour glass silhouette, providing support and sculpture to the female figure.

Let the dreaming begin...
