Forbes Profiles How Nigeria’s Rich Spend Over $2million On Dream Weddings

As we all know, weddings are a very big part of the
Nigerian culture.The union of a man and a woman
both traditionally and with a white ceremony, is
often an occasion not to be missed.
Leading American business magazine and
publication Forbes has published an article titled
– "How Nigeria's Rich Spend Over $2 Million On
Their Dream Wedding".
From the wedding planner to the dress and
refreshments, a few top Nigerian wedding planners
share with the publication, how Nigeria's most
wealthy dish out cash for the dream day.
Funke Bucknor of Zapphaire Events: "Our core
clientèle is mainly madeup by millionaires. They will
not hesitate to spend the money in order to get what
they want. If they need to fly in an artist from
America, or a decorator from Dubai or London, they
will do so. Cause one wedding alone just doesn't cut
it. First there is the traditional wedding – the only
wedding recognized by the family – followed by the
white wedding, which is similar to that which we
know in the West. As for the latter, the destination
wedding is all the rage. Dubai and London are the
most popular destinations, followed by Cape Town,
Seychelles and the Maldives. Florence in currently
growing in popularity.
"Elohor Aisien of Privé Luxury:"Nigerians love
champagne, so the most money will be spent on
drinks as well as food. On Nigerian weddings there's
food from 2pm tillmidnight. Old money Nigerians
may keep things more subtle, new money Nigerians
are more concerned with letting people know that
they've arrived. Magnums of Dom Pérignon will
often be their drink of choice. In a way it's become
this competition amongst brides. They'll ask me:
'How many bottles did she have? I need more.
I did the wedding of Reukayat Indimi, who comes
from a royal Nigerian family, which hails from the
north of the country. Accordingto northern tradition,
the bride can't leave the house during the month
leading up to the wedding. Since the bride didn't
have her wedding dress yet, I flew into London with
a model who fitted several dresses for her.
Elie Saab is a popular choice of wedding dress
amongst Nigerians, whereas most grooms I work
with want aTom Ford total look.Vera Wang is also
very much in demand, since it fits well on the
Nigerian body type."
