Renowned celebrity fashion designer Veekee James has opened up about the emotional and physical journey she undertook while designing the stunning wedding dress worn by popular influencer Priscilla Ojo.
In a heartfelt Instagram post and accompanying video, James shared the deeply personal process behind creating what has now been hailed as a bridal masterpiece. According to her, the experience was more than just another fashion project—it was a spiritual and emotional mission that began with prayer and ended in praise.
"I Went to God First"
James revealed that before putting pen to paper—or fabric to thread—she sought divine guidance, praying to God for the inspiration to create something truly unique for Priscilla.
“Do you even know I lost my voice because of this dress?” she said in a behind-the-scenes video. “I’m short of words for so many reasons. Before we created Priscy’s wedding dress, I had gone to God and said I wanted to create a masterpiece for Priscy.”
A Labour of Love
Despite facing immense pressure and physical exhaustion—including vocal strain from overworking herself—James remained determined to pour her heart into every stitch. She described the creation as a “labour of love” that spanned weeks and possibly months of tireless effort, creativity, and sacrifice.
Priscilla Ojo, who recently tied the knot in a lavish celebration, was full of praise for James’ artistry. The influencer shared her appreciation publicly, noting that the final product not only met but surpassed her expectations.
Gratitude to Her Team and to God
In her Instagram caption, Veekee James gave all glory to God and extended heartfelt thanks to her dedicated team:
“I promised God that all the glory will be His because He did this. Special thanks to my amazing team for sticking solidly beside me in every season. You all are the most talented humans in the world, and I’m so blessed to be doing this with you all.”
The result of her efforts was not only a show-stopping bridal gown that stole the spotlight but also a testimony of faith, hard work, and unwavering commitment to excellence.
From her passionate storytelling to her spiritual conviction, Veekee James once again proves why she remains a force in Nigeria’s fashion industry—and a designer whose work is as heartfelt as it is breathtaking.
