Nigerians Chisom and Jude both live abroad, but planned their dream destination wedding right here in Dubai. Today we’re looking back at their beautiful blessing which took place in April 2019 at the beachfront Five Palm Jumeirah Hotel.
Let’s find out more from their wedding planner, the very talented Lana, of Lana Wedding Planner…
Chisom & Jude’s wedding was our first experience of coordinating a Nigerian wedding and we loved it so so much. I would describe it as emotions and dance! We planned the wedding for 8 months and it was a fantastic experience to discover a new culture and its traditions. Our team loved the wedding and totally enjoyed the guests’ emotions, joy and fun – we have never seen such joyful people!
As their guests were coming in from the USA, UK and Nigeria we organized a whole experience for the couple and their family and friends. We planned activities for them to enjoy Dubai to the max, from a City tour to a dinner cruise, desert safari, pre-wedding party with an Arabic theme and, of course, the wedding itself.
The couple had a blessing from an Anglican priest and it was a lovely ceremony in the hotel, which was followed by a cocktail reception and the wedding reception.
As all guests flew in from abroad we decided to make them all personalized favours that they would be able to take home and cherish. All of the favours came from Dubai including this beautiful miniature horse. So each guest got a different souvenir that will remind them about the wedding in Dubai. We truly enjoyed planning their Big Day and the couple were so joyful and thankful. We look forward to planning so many more Nigerian weddings.
