As soon as coterie member, Janelle Morris, of Kayla Belle Events, touched down in Ghana her imagination began flowing. Inspired by the rich and vibrant ambiance and the vivacious people she encountered, Janelle just knew there was magic waiting to happen. But only after connecting with stationery designer and fellow coterie member, Talata Maldima-Provencal of ByTalata and Wendy Donkor of DecorTalk, was she able to bring her visual dreams to reality.
And what came next, is nothing short is brilliant. Peruse on for more of the opulent-vibrance spied in this colorful editorial shoot, shot by Apagnawen Annankra of Apag Studios with additional commentary by Janelle Morris.
Janelle: “I fell in love with Ghana as soon as I exited the airport. There was something about it that felt like home. While enjoying some relaxation in the pool of my mom’s compound, I just knew this space was waiting for magic to be created. I began to sort out wedding pros, and my search began with Coterie member, Talata of ByTalata, who introduced me to Wendy of DecorTalk and social media helped me with the rest – I love social media!”
“Wendy and I knew we wanted to represent Ghana in an authentic way. Ghanaian’s are a spirited, colorful, light radiating people. Our design had to reflect those characteristics” shares Janelle.
Janelle: “Our mirrored top table design infused rich velvet linens with vibrant colors and a modern design absolutely speak to the wonderful people I encountered whom were equally rich, vibrant, and eclectic.”
