A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Atinuke Adeleke of The Wright Jewellries during a Bridal Show, which I exhibited my services. What caught my attention to her company was her well displayed table and the quality of jewelry she presented! And of course, I just had to buy my precious own.  She is trully a GEM!

When creating these fashionable designs, which Atinuke calls her “Babies,” The Wright Jewellries usually creates something special with that wow factor, by searching for unique ways to mix different bead stones, unique pieces of accessories, and interesting color blends. Oh and by the way, even though she has ready made designs available, she never creates the same piece twice. So, your design is Exclusive!

The Wright Jewellries ideal customer is that woman looking to make a statement in a classy and regal fashion. Atinuke creates pieces that she believes are classy and appeals to the eye. Many of her designs and color blends are based on the different Nigerian traditional outfits that exudes elegance and she aims to compliment those styles with the jewelry pieces she creates.

So far, with a 100% customer satisfaction rating, The Wright Jewellries provides custom made design services for their customers. What does that mean? Basically you can receive a personal consultation session to discuss what colors and design you are interested in, the kind of occasion you are wearing the jewelry to, and your budget expense for the custom made jewelry. Once said and done, The Wright Jewellries can work within those guidelines to meet and more than likely surpass your expectations. 

Being a bit of a perfectionist, Atinuke, owner of The Wright Jewellries believes in giving a 100% on anything she decides to do, which she has a law degree to proove it. Even though she is currently studying to become a financial planner, she has a special place in her heart for jewelry design. She states, “The joy on the faces of my clients when they see what they want is priceless.” Trully, this can be seen in the jewelry pieces that she makes. It’s Simply Beautiful baby!

Hello Everyone,

I just happen to be researching online for the traditional process of another Nigerian culture called Igbo. As a Nigerian, I need to represent for all aspects of my country. (Hopefully, I will find information about the Hausa wedding traditional ceremony as well) Have fun reading! (article from http://naijawednmore.blogspot.com)

Once this is done, the groom to be’s family will leave and return at an agreed upon time. During this time, it gives the bride to be’s family opportunity to “investigate” the groom to be’s family (if necessary) and also prepare for the next step.

When the groom to be’s family returns, they will bring wine, drinks, food, kola nut, etc., as gifts for the bride to be’s family. They will then, again, state their intent with the bride to be. Usually at this time, the bride to be is in another room. When the intent is stated, the bride to be will come out and confirm that the groom to be is someone she is interested in marrying.

As a symbol of hospitality and acceptance, kola nut is used by the elders of the ritual during the prayer and blessing. Once this is completed, it is passed around to others to eat. The food and drinks will be served to show unity and good faith. At this time, a gift list is also provided to the groom to be’s family. This list can include anything from items of food to gold watches or expensive fabric. It will depend on the family. The items included must be brought to the traditional marriage ceremony. A date will be set for this ceremony.

Traditional Marriage (Engagement) – Igba Nwku

The traditional marriage could be a small event only including family and close friends or a big event including the whole “village”. To begin the ceremony, usually there is music and entertainment. The groom’s family presents the gifts requested on the gift list and the bride’s family also welcomes them. At this time, the bride is, again, hidden away with her asoebi (similar to bridesmaids) girls. The bride and asoebi girls will dance out and greet the crowd and go sit with her family.

**The Igbo equivalent for aso ebi is Akwa Nde Mbiriechi, but, in general, was never used previously. It’s only been in recent times that Igbos have begun to include “family uniform” during the traditional marriage which has consistently been a Yoruba tradition.**

After opening prayer and blessing from the bride’s father, he will hand a glass of palm wine (or any other drink) to the bride. The bride is then to take the glass and find her groom in the crowd. When she finds him, she offers him the drink and he will drink it in confirmation. The couple will then greet their families together. Further prayers and blessing will be given, and the couple will also dance for the crowd so that they may “spray” money.

The couple is now MARRIED!!!

Hello world,

I’ve been reviewing different wedding video websites since the new year has started and nothing becomes more interesting than watching a wedding created like a music video or a movie. But wait cinematography…

So what is Cinematography?

It’s when a photographer/videographer uses a motion picture camera to achieve artistic and technical video images. The lighting of the scene and the camera chosen further enhances the images created in cinema style. This gives an event or scene that music video look or movie look.

For example: Triple Threat of the J’s (part 1 & 2) by Still Motion in Canada and  Teddy and Toyin wedding Teaser by Impressive Creations in Los Angeles and Lydia and Stephen 08.08.08 by Dream Images (yes that is Farnsworth Bentley)

When it comes to details and pricing, it all depends on the company you choose and the type of package you want.  Prices may vary from $2000 to $20,000.

Take a look at a few of the wedding cinematographers located in the US and Canada:

Pantone Unveils Color of the Year for 2010:
PANTONE 15-5519 Turquoise

Turquoise Transports Us to an Exciting, Tropical Paradise While Offering a Sense of Protection and Healing in Stressful Times

CARLSTADT, N.J., Dec. 8, 2009 –

Pantone LLC, an X-Rite company (NASDAQ: XRIT), and the global authority on color and provider of professional color standards for the design industries, today announced PANTONE® 15-5519 Turquoise, an inviting, luminous hue, as the color of the year for 2010. Combining the serene qualities of blue and the invigorating aspects of green, Turquoise evokes thoughts of soothing, tropical waters and a languorous, effective escape from the everyday troubles of the world, while at the same time restoring our sense of wellbeing.

“In many cultures, Turquoise occupies a very special position in the world of color,” explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “It is believed to be a protective talisman, a color of deep compassion and healing, and a color of faith and truth, inspired by water and sky. Through years of color word-association studies, we also find that Turquoise represents an escape to many – taking them to a tropical paradise that is pleasant and inviting, even if only a fantasy.”

Whether envisioned as a tranquil ocean surrounding a tropical island or a protective stone warding off evil spirits, Turquoise is a color that most people respond to positively. It is universally flattering, has appeal for men and women, and translates easily to fashion and interiors. With both warm and cool undertones, Turquoise pairs nicely with any other color in the spectrum. Turquoise adds a splash of excitement to neutrals and browns, complements reds and pinks, creates a classic maritime look with deep blues, livens up all other greens, and is especially trend-setting with yellow-greens.

Because of its versatility, Turquoise is a great accent color in jewelry, purses, shoes, hair accessories and even nail polish for women, and ties, shirts and sportswear for men.

For brides wanting a flattering choice for attendant apparel and accessories on their big day, Turquoise is now one of the nearly 200 PANTONE WEDDING Colors available from Dessy, a leading manufacturer of bridesmaid, social occasion and flower girl dresses, as well as destination wedding gowns under the labels Dessy Collection, After Six, Alfred Sung, Lela Rose Bridesmaid and Sandals Destination Wedding Dresses. PANTONE WEDDING exclusively from Dessy provides a collection of color tools to make it easy for brides to achieve perfectly color-coordinated weddings – from inspiration to “I do.”
