“Having my Kosibah gown made was one of the best parts of my wedding journey! I would look forward to every meeting with Yemi at his beautiful studio!”

Cherelle in London, looking back from a grand staircase with an ornate wrought-iron balustrade. Her bespoke Kosibah couture gown has long sheer lace sleeves and a flared skirt, with a long tulle veil cascading down the steps.

Cherelle’s couture wedding gown

Cherelle’s bespoke Kosibah couture wedding gown featured a beautifully sculpted, figure-hugging silhouette flowing into a dramatic flared skirt and train. Delicate floral lace appliqués adorned the illusion neckline, long sheer sleeves and fitted bodice, creating an exquisite interplay of intricate embellishment, elegance and signature Kosibah craftsmanship.

  • Cherelle seen from behind as she walks down the church aisle with a man in a grey morning suit, her long tulle veil and the dramatic flared train of her gown spreading over the fairy-lit carpet as guests look on.
  • Cherelle poses by a window, one hand at her neck. Delicate floral lace appliqués trail across the illusion neckline, long sheer sleeves and fitted bodice of her figure-hugging Kosibah couture gown.
  • Back view of Cherelle's gown: a low illusion back edged with floral lace appliqués, a row of covered buttons and loops down the bodice, and long sheer lace sleeves. A jewelled pin sits in her swept-up hair.
  • Cherelle smiles at her husband as they exchange rings during their church ceremony in London. Her gown has an illusion neckline and long sheer sleeves covered in floral lace appliqués, with a long tulle veil and peach roses.
  • Cherelle and her husband stand in an arched stone church doorway. Her sculpted, figure-hugging gown flows into a flared skirt and train, with lace appliqués on the illusion neckline and long sheer sleeves.
