FUSION Cultural Earthy tones and bright prints came together to create this Africainspired backdrop Images courtesy of Charlene Webb Photography and Lily’s Lens Photography Jenneh Whittaker of JW Planners worked with Essential Events London and together gathered a team of local suppliers to create their Africa-inspired vision. “We wanted to showcase a vibrant cultural fusion for couples that want to incorporate their culture into their big day in a modern and stylish way,” Jenneh explains. African chic was brought to life with a blend of earthy tones and textures combined with bright Ankara prints and bold colours that truly embody Africa. “The florals and fabric selection were very important as we wanted the fabric to complement the textures and palette of the shoot as well as be a statement feature,” she says. The concept continued through the bride and groom’s styling with the rich, bold shades and stunning accessories. “Overall, we believe that this is a beautiful cultural fusion that would inspire brides and grooms who want to incorporate their heritage into their day. It’s a celebration of love and the richness of West African culture and beyond,” says Jenneh. LOCAL INSPIRATION 51
