MY BIRTHDAY PHOTOSHOOT

Hello everyone,

Good to be back! Remember my last post HERE was my annual birthday sales and I will like to say a big thank you to everyone that brought Fabrics from us during the sales period.

So I had a photoshoot for the first time in my life *covers face* and it really feels good having cameras in my face 😂😂. So I might make this a regular thing for my birthdays because life is worth celebrating.

For my photo shoot, I used two Fabrics (lace and Ankara).

The multicolored guipure lace which is of high quality is sold out now and was 30,000 Naira for 5yards. I wanted a boubou style out of and my tailor did justice to that. I felt really good and free in the boubou.

The second Fabric is a multicolored Ankara Fabric which is still available in 2 color mix and it’s just 5,000 Naira for 6yards. I didn’t use the whole 6yards because I made a shift dress with wide sleeves (really love the style) and my kids made use of the remaining fabric.

Both Fabrics looked amazing on my skin tone ,my braids were styled and my makeup artist did beat my face that I couldn’t recognize myself Lol

Enough of my stories, let’s see the evidence in pictures:

What do you think about my pictures? And what’s your favorite outfit?

Share your thoughts in the comments section and send me birthday wishes. Yes it’s not too late 😃

Wishing you a wonderful day ahead .

Cheers,

THEASOEBIJUNKIE WEDDING – #JR2017

Hello everyone,

We will not allow the month of love(February) to end without sharing beautiful pictures from the wedding of our #christmas couple.

The bride as being an amazing customer for about two years (or more), so when she contacted us that she was getting married, I was so excited. She chose coral red and teal green for her wedding theme, so we stated with her aso-ebi fabric and I sent her options that fit into her color theme/budget and in a short while we sealed the asoebi deal. She’s the calmest bride ever! Then we moved to family fabrics and we sealed that too as well as fabrics for her own outfits, asooke and sego headtie (s) and the native handfan for delta brides.

Let’s see these fabrics in pictures as we celebrate this amazing couple displaying so much love at their traditional wedding.

Bride’s first outfit – Fabric and headtie from us

She slayed stylishly in our teal green tulle lace embellished with pearls and stones matched with our beaded sego headtie

Here she steps out with her boo in her second outfit which I really love because she allowed me style her in champagne gold monotone combo.

Fabric is champagne gold George with matching tulle blouse.

Headtie was champagne gold asooke fully embellished with Swarovski stones and gold pearls

Handfan was also embellished with stones (we had to go all out for our bride)

Here is our pretty bride with her brothers in Atiku and teal green asooke caps also styled by us

Now to the asoebi Fabrics, her female friends and colleagues turned up in this colorful yet classy/beautiful tulle lace with white sego gele that blends perfectly into her color theme and also makes you think of Christmas while the male counterparts wore white Atiku with coral red caps. All supplied by us!

I really wished we got more pictures of the asoebi Fabrics but from the few we got, we have no doubt that everyone slayed in different gorgeous designs.

We appreciate the couple for choosing us to style them and their amazing families and guests on their big day.

We pray that God bless their home and that their love for each other abound forever.

Thanks again for choosing Theasoebijunkie.

If you are a bride and you need our services for traditional bridal styling for any tribe in Nigeria, please send us a mail at theasoebijunkie@gmail.com or call/whatsapp 07033040834 and we will take the stress of you.

Cheers,

THEASOEBIJUNKIE STAR: OMOLARA

Hello everyone,

How are you all doing? Hope you’re preparing for our pop up shop that will be holding this weekend? It will be nice to meet my readers live at the Pop up shop. See more info HERE
Date: 2nd and 3rd of July 2016
Venue: Safat’s place – 12, Odunuga street off Osho street Opebi Lagos
Time: 10 am to 7pm

Back to today’s post, I am again excited to bring our Star bride to be to you in person of Miss Omolara.

Beautiful Omolara contacted us requesting for a beautiful and affordable fabric for her introduction ceremony which is a ‘pre-traditional  wedding’ ceremony in Nigeria where families of intending couples meet with each other to make plans for the wedding of their children. I must say its a big deal here!

So you know she has to look her best as she will be the cynosure of all eyes and will be meeting some of her groom’s extended family members for the first time.
We sent options to her as per fabrics, color and Accessories combinations. And she finally settled for the peach on peach with gold accessories which turned out so beautiful and elegant.
Her boo also got a cream fabric with the peach asooke and they both slayed!

Let’s see the evidence in pictures from the introduction ceremony:

Awesome pictures by Debola styles.

Again, I will like to say massive congratulations to Miss Omolara and her boo. Your home is blessed and your star will continue to shine. I love you!

Her mum also got a tulle lace from us.
Looking forward to styling you for your traditional wedding and friend’s Asoebi soon.

Cheers,

Modupe

P.s: Don’t forget to turn up at our pop up shop this weekend.

THEASOEBIJUNKIE STARS: ADEFUNMI2016

Hello everyone,

It is my delight to bring our amazing #theasoebijunkiestarcouple to you as they rocked theasoebijunkie asooke on their big day.

Our bride- Now Mrs Adeleke made it clear that she wanted a unique and gorgeous design of asooke for the traditional wedding and not the regular hand-cut buba but something easy breezy that will be airy and not so heavy.

So we decided to make a tiny interlace hand cut buba in champagne gold with patches of orange and neon green to represent her color theme with lots of blings scattered on it.
The wrapper was a plain champagne gold asooke but we also joined the tiny inter lace handcut to the lower part which turned out so beautiful.
Because the buba and wrapper had a burst of colors, we decided to tone it down with a plain white head-tie and ipele embellished with gold stones and pearls which the bride slayed stylishly on her big day.

The groom also looked regal in his  champagne gold agbada with white embroidery design and champagne gold cap.

Theasoebijunkie brand is so proud of the final outcome of the couple’s attire and we are grateful to be part of your big day!

Now let’s see the amazing pictures from Ripples Photography:

We once again wish the Adelekes a happy and Blissful marital life ahead. Their home is built on Christ the solid rock and amazing testimonies shall follow.
Thank you for trusting theasoebijunkie brand to style you on your big day.

Cheers,

Theasoebijunkie stars : Ms Stephanie Cook

Hello everyone,
Welcome to the month of February!  And Valentine’s Day is almost here so you can now book for our annual Valentine fabric hampers . We have the male and female packages which will blow the minds of your loved ones as they will always remember you anytime they wear the fabrics.
To  order please call 08186961269, call/whatsapp 07033040834 or send a mail to theasoebijunkie@gmail.com.
P. S: We deliver within and outside of Lagos.

Back to today’s post,  Ms Stephanie Cook got our contact online and sent us a message on whatsapp requesting for two asoebi fabrics for a wedding in Enugu State.

She wanted a yellow fabric for a set of guests and another blue fabric for another set of guests.
We exchanged pictures and concluded on a yellow tulle fabric embellished with stones and pearls which is the same fabric in orange color for a wedding I posted earlier HERE
And then a tree inspired sequined tulle lace fabric in cobalt blue.
We got the fabric ready and sent to Enugu in December and also delivered to some people in Lagos.

The guests in yellow used a cobalt blue asooke as headtie while guests in blue had yellow onjawu asooke as headtie and they both looked elegant and  turned out pretty in different styles to grace the occasion.

Here are some of the pictures of our stars as they shine in both color combos :

A very big thank you to Ms Cook for trusting us and patronizing us.
We look forward to doing more business with you.
God bless you abundantly!

Theasoebijunkie star🌟 : Wunmi

Hiya my fabulous people,

Today, am bringing to you yet another star in our fabric.

Miss Wunmi got in touch with us through Bbm and asked for a beautiful tulle lace fabric for her introduction ceremony.
For those who don’t know, the Nigerian weddings ceremonies generally consist of 3basic steps /events. The first one is called the introduction ceremony mainly by Yorubas some other tribes in Nigeria call it “knocking of the door ” this event is like a mini engagement ceremony where the groom comes to the bride’s house with his immediate family and introduce himself formally to the bride’s family stating his intention to marry their daughter with some gifts for the bride’s family .

It is at this event that the dowry and every other requirements  of the bride’s family will be discussed and the main engagement and wedding date is picked.
So this was the event that our star-Wunmi was planning for and you know she definitely needs to slay stylishly as the  star of the day.
She finally settled for our cobalt blue  and champagne gold tulle fabric with guipure edges and she did look super  gorgeous as you can see in the pictures below :

What ya think? I absolutely think she killed it with that body #baddest.

Congratulations again Wunmi looking forward to planning your asoebi soon.
Your home is blessed already! Continue to shine!  You are a 🌟

Cheers,
Modupe

THEASOEBIJUNKIE STARS: Mr and Mrs Obaseki

Happy New Year everyone,
Thank God we made it to 2016! It’s going to be an amazing year for us all in Jesus name.

One of the amazing brides we had the privilege to  style and also supply asoebi for was Mrs Esosa Obaseki who contacted us all the way from New York City, U. S. A for her traditional wedding.

Her asoebi color theme was purple and silver,  so the first thing she ordered was a purple tulle lace fabric embellished with stones for her friends which was delivered to her friends in Lagos and Port Harcourt here in  Nigeria.

After which we had another discussion on her outfit as well as her husband’s outfit for their traditional wedding.
She had a gold color theme in mind,  we exchanged pictures and she later settled for this Gold onjawu asooke with blings on the gele as well as gold Agbada and cap for her husband.

She also wanted a customised gold hand fan for herself which we designed  and in total created a regal look this gorgeous couple on their big day.

I hereby present to you pictures of our  star couple for the month of December 2015 for your perusal:

Massive Congratulations to them and we wish them everlasting conjugal bliss.
Their  home is blessed already and their  stars will keep shining.
