When love transcends, magic happens. Aanu and Uhunoma's March wedding at the prestigious Braxted Park in Essex was nothing short of spectacular. A beautiful fusion of elegant white wedding traditions and rich Nigerian heritage, all wrapped in breathtaking wedding decor that left everyone speechless.


Two Ceremonies, One Perfect Day at Braxted Park

Braxted Park, one of Essex's most sought-after luxury wedding venues, provided the perfect backdrop for this extraordinary celebration. The couple chose to honour both their heritage and modern traditions by hosting both a classic white wedding ceremony and a vibrant Nigerian celebration on the same day, a decision that created an unforgettable experience for all their guests.



Our Design Process: From Vision to Reality

Working with Aanu and Uhunoma began a full year before their special day. After our initial phone consultation to understand their vision for both ceremonies, we created a comprehensive design deck that visually brought their ideas to life. Closer to the wedding, we revisited and refined these designs to ensure every detail was perfect.


"It was exactly what I had envisioned," Aanu told us when she saw the final designs – a testament to our collaborative approach and attention to detail.


Ceremony Decor: Pure Elegance in White

The wedding ceremony was a vision of sophisticated elegance. Our team at Cloud Sixty Events transformed the ceremony space into a romantic paradise with:


Broken Floral Arch: Our signature broken arch, adorned with luxurious silk floral roses in pristine white, created a stunning focal point that framed the couple beautifully against Braxted Park's elegant architecture.

Pristine White Carpet Aisle: A luxurious white carpet runner guided the bride's entrance, flanked by carefully positioned floral clusters that added depth and romance to every step.

Crystal Candelabra and Candle Display: Tall crystal candelabras and candles were strategically placed alongside their Broken Arch, creating ambient lighting that perfectly complemented the March atmosphere at this prestigious Essex venue.


The ceremony decor maintained pure white elegance, creating the perfect atmosphere for their traditional white wedding ceremony.

The Reception Reveal: A Moment of Pure Joy

The true magic happened during the reception reveal. Aanu and Uhunoma were completely shocked when they entered their reception space. Their reaction was priceless and reminded us why we're passionate about wedding decor and creating these unforgettable moments.


Reception Decor: Where Culture Meets Luxury

The reception decor at Braxted Park showcased our ability to seamlessly blend cultural elements with luxury wedding design:


Guest Table Centerpieces: Each table featured our signature arrangements combining silk roses in white and red. The red florals were custom-made specifically to match Aanu and Uhunoma's Nigerian attire, creating perfect harmony between decor and cultural celebration.

Show-Stopping Stage Design: The reception stage became a masterpiece featuring:

  • Our stunning waterfall arch in deep red roses, which cascaded dramatically from the sailboard down over the curved cream sofa

  • A bespoke sailboard featuring the couple's initials with a custom monogram

  • Elegant tall crystal candelabras that created ambient lighting

  • Luxurious curved cream sofa that provided both style and function for the couple when doing their traditional ceremony.


The custom red florals perfectly complemented the white elements, creating a cohesive design that was both striking and elegant throughout the reception space.
