Designer Mai Atafo & Wedding Planner Funke Bucknor-Obruthe Join the Dream Team of “My Big Nigerian Wedding” Contest!

Every bride dreams of her wedding gown long before her wedding day, sometimes even before she meets the man of her dreams. To bring her fantasies to reality, a wedding dress designer with keen eye for detail also becomes part of the dream.

Add this to a wedding planner extraordinaire who has years of experience in the industry with a trail of successfully planned weddings to her credit and you’re on your way to an almost perfect wedding for the lucky winners of My Big Nigerian Wedding Contest.
