“Yemi is truly one of a kind and I couldn’t have picked a better designer for my wedding gown. … On wedding day I felt like the most beautiful woman in the world. … And the icing on the cake was him being there for the entire day to put me into both of my gowns, such a special touch that I appreciated so much.”

Cathy, New Jersey, looks back over her shoulder at a tall window. Her bespoke Kosibah couture gown has long sheer lace-appliquéd sleeves and richly embroidered floral motifs, its detachable train sweeping across the floor.

Cathy’s couture wedding gown

For her New Jersey wedding, Cathy wore an exquisitely embellished bespoke Kosibah couture bridal gown featuring a sculpted, figure-hugging silhouette, an intricate lace-appliquéd illusion neckline and long sheer sleeves. Richly embroidered floral motifs and delicate shimmering embellishments adorned the gown, while a magnificent detachable train added sweeping volume and regal drama. The removable train allowed the fitted silhouette to take centre stage, creating an elegant transformation within the bridal look.
