Our Beauty is Our Crown! Ezinne Akudo & More Belles in Striking Bridal Looks

Using braids, coral beads, crystal headpieces and bursts of color, makeup artist David Onyedike of Dave Sucre and bridal hair stylist Ebele Nebuwa of Unique Berry Hairs, joined forces with photographer Aham Ibeleme to showcase these contemporary and unconventional bridal inspiration looks.

Dave Sucre is of the opinion that bridal makeup is what the bride wants it to be and not what the society dictates. Inspired by free will, he created a Soft natural look, Glam Chic, Summer Bloom, Trado Chic and Goth bridal makeup inspiration.

Unique Berry believes a bride should be the center of attention on her big day, and her hair must not be left out. She brought her expertise to play by adding some volume to the hair and switching it up and down. A bride should not be scared of big hair be it a side sweep, center parting or an all back. The bigger the better.

Aham Ibeleme captured every look with his camera.
