✅ A customized walkway and dancefloor styling for a premium feel.
✅ Exquisite table settings with premium floral arrangements and centerpiece designs.
✅ Luxury chairs and tables to complement the wedding’s theme.
✅ A well-curated picture area for guests to capture stunning moments.
Shocked by the eye-watering quote, the couple humorously took to TikTok, captioning their post:
“You are planning a wedding in Lagos and asked for décor cost 😭😭😭😭 At this point, we may have to elope 😂😂😂😂.”
