Styling by P World of Design

What comes to mind when you think of a traditional wedding? An intersection of culture, love and colour? Exactly! However, for Mattrinah Akullo Heaven and Julius Okwajja Heaven, there’s just so much more to this, and their traditional wedding said it all. Mattrinah chose the theme ‘Fierce African Queen Warriors’, and with creative support of Phiona Charlene Nabimanya of P World of Design, she brought it it to life. The event was held on 10th December, 2022 at her parent’s home in Kyanja.

See brief

She stands tall and regal, A queen among her kin, Surrounded by fierce warriors holding spears and shields, Dressed in rustic garb, so thin and hand crafted to perfection, 35,000 Masai beads and Cowry Shells yelling – Rich African Heritage

Her beauty shines like the sun, Eyes like pools of dark gold, And on her head a crown, Woven with tales untold.

The girls at her side, Young, strong and bold, Their spirits fierce and free, Their stories yet to be told.

Their attire, a tapestry, Of ancient Africa’s pride, A reminder of a heritage, That will forever abide.

Together they stand, A force to be reckoned with, Their strength and grace, An epic tale to be retold.

With every step they take, A nation’s spirit comes alive, For they are the guardians, Of a culture that will thrive.
