Not every bride can pull off a massive train but with the help of her bridal party, this bride’s enormous train stoled the show.

This Nigerian designer is known for creating extravant and gorgeous wedding dresses for her clients, but she took her own gown design to the next level by including a train that is truly amazing.

It took a village, better yet her bridal tribe, to help this bride-to-be prepare for her grand entrance. Olakunbi Oyelese’s bridal party paid their dues as bridesmaids by helping creative director for April by Kunbi with her dazzling wedding gown this past weekend.
