Ashaiman, Ghana – Tradition. Love. Elegance.
Ernestina and Nana Kwame united in a breathtaking traditional wedding ceremony on November 6, 2024. Hosted at Ernestina’s family home in Ashaiman, this joyous celebration, brought to life by the Seed Bride 2024 Initiative, once again showcased the rich culture and traditions of Ghana in a heartwarming event that had everyone smiling, dancing, and sharing in the couple’s happiness.
This year, Ernestina and Nana Kwame were chosen for Seed Bride’s annual sponsored wedding – an initiative known for turning love stories into fairy-tale weddings.
Now in its fourth year, the Seed Bride Initiative rallies top wedding vendors in Ghana to gift one deserving couple a fully sponsored wedding.
For Nana Kwame and Ernestina, it was a dream come true, allowing them to celebrate their love without the burden of financial stress.
Ernestina and Nana Kwame’s story touched many hearts. After meeting through social media in 2022, their bond strengthened as they supported each other through difficult times, including the loss of Nana Kwame’s brother and his father’s health challenges.
Despite these hardships, their love endured. When Ernestina submitted their story to Seed Bride earlier this year, it opened the door to a magical wedding journey that brought family, friends, and vendors together to celebrate the power of love and resilience.
The ceremony radiated elegance and cultural pride with a rich colour palette of emerald green, burnt orange, and hints of gold.
Ernestina wore a stunning Kente gown by House of Oath, paired with a luxurious bridal robe from Avant La Robe, and accessorized with a custom fan by Vestir.
The groom, Nana Kwame, complemented her perfectly in Kaftan made by Urban Grey GH, as they stood before their loved ones to start their marriage journey in a lovely setting by Sprout Affair.
Before the lively engagement party, the traditional rites were performed, affirming the union of two families. As the day unfolded, the joy was palpable. Family members, friends, and vendors cheered, danced, and filled the air with excitement.
Buttercream Queen provided a beautifully designed cake that became a centrepiece.
The Seed Bride 2024 vendors went above and beyond, from Jema Photography capturing precious moments to Hair by Lizz styling the bride with finesse. Behind the scenes, planning by Eclat Events Official and Pink Grace Events ensured that every detail added to the magical ambience.
Seed Bride 2024 brought Nana Kwame and Ernestina’s dream to life under its guiding hashtag, #ForGodNotForTrend.This initiative has become a beacon of hope, bringing communities together to celebrate love in its truest form.
Congratulations to Ernestina and Nana Kwame.
