"Yoruba" refers to the language spoken by " The Yorubas". Yorubas are people from the western part of Nigeria. Yoruba traditional weddings are usually loads of fun. MP had the opportunity to set up the stage for the bride and groom. The groom gets to "beg" for the bride. After the bride's parents have accepted he and his family's proposal, he is allowed to sit on the stage where he awaits the arrival of his future bride.

Live well, Laugh often and Love more!

Yewande’s Stilettos Bridal Shower

A few months ago MP hosted a bridal shower for one of our own. She is fondly referred to as "Olori" which a traditional yoruba (Nigerian tribe) title for a female leader. Therefore, we decided to go with a traditional theme for the set-up/decor of the space we used. We set up the room like ...
