We had the good fortune of connecting with Vanessa Kengni and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Vanessa, what inspires you?
I find inspiration for my work as a wedding stylist from a myriad of sources, each contributing to the unique and personalized touch I aim to bring to every event. First and most importantly, I draw inspiration from the couples themselves. Their love story, personal tastes, and unique connection provide a rich foundation for creating a wedding that truly reflects who they are.

Nature is another powerful muse for me. Whether it’s the changing seasons, the colors of a sunset, or the textures found in a lush garden, I often incorporate elements from the natural world into my designs. This not only adds a timeless and organic quality to the wedding but also creates a harmonious atmosphere that resonates with both the couple and their guests.

I’m also deeply influenced by art and design trends. Staying attuned to the latest styles, color palettes, and decor innovations allows me to offer fresh and contemporary ideas to my clients. It’s a dynamic process of blending timeless elegance with modern flair, ensuring each wedding I style feels both classic and current

In essence, my inspiration stems from the beautiful narratives of the couples I work with, the wonders of the natural world, the ever-evolving world of design, the richness of diverse cultures, and the collaborative spirit within the wedding industry. It’s this eclectic blend that fuels my passion for creating weddings that are not only visually captivating but also deeply meaningful and reflective of each couple’s unique love story.
