Kiky Festus models the sculpted corset bodice and pointed lace neckline of her Veekee James wedding gown.
We knew Kiky Festus would look beautiful on her wedding day. She is, after all, a doctor, a fashion creator and someone who clearly knows what she wants from a look. What we did not expect was to see a wedding dress that would have us stopping mid-scroll, zooming into pictures and wondering how many details we had missed the first time.
Have you seen Kiky’s wedding dress? Because the closer you look, the more there is to discover.
When Kiky walked down the aisle to exchange vows with fellow doctor and fashion creator Akin Faminu, she wore a custom white wedding gown by renowned Nigerian couture brand Veekee James, styled by Baudovin Ononiba. At first glance, the gown is all bridal grandeur: a sculpted corset, a sweeping train, a cathedral-length veil and layers of white lace and beadwork. Look a little closer, though, and you realise that the dress is telling a very specific story. The architecture of the church has been translated into the gown itself.
