Designer Kunbi Oyelese of April by Kunbi's wedding was the talk of the town after she pulled off a beautiful event.

Her white wedding however, did get a lot of people talking. Kunbi was clad in a custom made April By Kunbi dress; a vintage, whimsical ball dress with her long train and tiara. The entire look was reminiscent of the Victorian era and made her look regal.

While some bridesmaids were clad in peach asymmetrical v-neck dresses that were cinched at the waist with an elaborately jeweled brooch, others donned mustard coloured dresses with nearly the same details as the peach.
