We’re looking back on the wedding of lovely Austa and Austin; yes you read their names correctly but it gets even better: Austa simply dropped one letter to go from her maiden name (Ikhile) to her married name (Ihile). You bet we got a serious kick out of this!
We enjoyed working on the design of the couple’s wedding ceremony and reception decor in Walnut Creek and Concord, respectively. The wedding ceremony took place at Walnut Creek Church of Christ followed by a reception at Clarion Hotel.
Mr & Mrs Ihile shared a few wedding photos with us and even threw in a couple of pictures from their engagement shoot! We hope you’ll enjoy and be inspired by a little peek into their beautiful love and memorable wedding celebration . . . and make sure you get to the end of this post for a special announcement 😉
The Wedding:
Getting ready with sister-in-law who also planned the wedding. This shot is everything!
Gosh . . . do you see the way he’s looking at her?!
We handpainted Austa and Austin’s gold monogram unto the aisle runner. Photo taken by one of our team members
That dress though . . . and the headpiece! What a stunner
The beautiful Mr & Mrs . . .
During the reception, the couple changed into their traditional Nigerian attire, honoring their Edo and Delta cultures
Stunning Nigerian bride!
And saving the best for last: please join us in congratulating Austa and Austin on their first wedding anniversary . . . AND first baby! We wish them a lifetime of wedded bliss, a happy home and many more blessings and precious moments with their baby boy 🙂 . . . cheers!
