THE PAST FEW WEEKS

Hello dear friends and family, Funke Bucknor-Obruthe/Zapphaire events are back again .

September 11th and 12th(Esohe Alile's wedding )

IT was a real pleasure planning esohe and scott's wedding by the way(his italian and she is benin)
You know when you have a bride that lives abroad and you need to communicate via emails and pictures you know that you really need to work hard at ensuring there is full attention to detail especially with the coordinator in charge of her wedding(zapphaire events end here).
By the way the structure in zapphaire events goes like this--------
we have a head of events dept who oversees two other heads,head of weddings and head of corporate events and they in turn have about 3 coordinators each that report to them ,

Folake omotosho was handling Esohes wedding then she had to leave to go work in an insurance coy,then seyi took over but then had to leave cos of nysc etc.
so good old moi had to personally handle Esohe's wedding in the end

it was very detailed i must say,
she had a particular way her decor had to look like ,so we went to enlist the help of Molara Akinosho of just weddings who got the brief and ran with it.of course has you know with all brides and clients,we had some last minute changes and lara had to change some stuff asap
but she did a fantastic job at the end of the day.I'll post the pics tomorrow.

But the drama before the wedding was something else-

I'll start with the venue thinking the wedding was on a Saturday and not Friday,it took the videographer(tiyan of memories street)going there to do a recon to let me know what the venue organisers were up to.I had to dash there that day and quickly correct the situation.
You can imagine if there had been a booking for Friday already ,that means that we would have been double booked and all. Can't even begin to imagine the whole situation,
but we planners are crisis managers so that really helped me!!!!!!


Then the cake baker for the Eng and moi thot the color of the cake was white because that was the color we both saw when the preferred cake sent by esohe was printed out but luckily again esohe was able to clarify when she came that it was actually cream and no white.phew! close again.
And the list goes on and on,even on the main event day, but you know what the bottom line of everything was that she didn't notice and she loved every single thing about her wedding ,from the ambience to the music(she and her sisters love dancing by the way and she has 6 0f them),her cake etc.
