#BBNWonderland 2016 Brides – Don’t Mind If I Baileys!
30 brides-to-be were treated to an all-expense paid trip to the amazing 2nd edition of Baileys Nigeria and BellaNaija Weddings‘ bridal event – WONDERLAND. The ladies arrived Lagos from all over the country, and were taken to the luxurious Intercontinen-tal Hotel where the fun, laughter, magic and‘Don’t Mind If I Baileys’ moments began, before the main event at The Civic Centre the next day!
Here are five unforgettable moments that took place.
1. Slumber Party with Baileys
Indulging in a perfect ‘Don’t mind if I Baileys’ moment, the brides-to-be were all smiles and giggles as the night kicked off with a range of delicious treats and cocktails to set the scene for girl talk with Genevieve Magazine founder Betty Irabor who has been married for almost 35 years, and Aunty K of Kots Catering who has been a working mum for 25 years at the Baileys Slumber Party. There was no better way to end the night than with a good old Lagos party.
