The celebrity designer Veekee James has opened up about the intense effort and emotional journey behind creating Priscilla Ojo’s wedding gown — a project she calls both a personal dream and a defining moment in her career.
Her comments come amid speculation over her noticeable absence from Priscilla’s lavish traditional wedding in Lagos, an event that lit up social media with appearances from top celebrities, Big Brother Naija stars, and high-profile guests.
In a heartfelt video posted to Instagram on Sunday, Veekee revealed the toll the dress-making process took on her, even causing her to lose her voice. “Do you know I even lost my voice because of this stress? I’m short of words for so many reasons,” she said.
She went on to explain that before starting the design, she prayed for the inspiration to create something truly special. “Before we created Priscy’s wedding dress, I had gone to God and said I wanted to create a masterpiece for her,” she shared.
The gown, which took nearly a month of non-stop work, stood out as one of Veekee’s most ambitious projects — a true labor of love, crafted with passion, precision, and prayer.
In the same video, Priscilla Ojo can be seen visibly moved by the final result, showering praise on Veekee for bringing her dream dress to life.
