How We Started
Crafts, designs, playing with colours, textures and patterns have always been my passion, so it only seemed natural that I would eventually take up the business of design and crafting. My work initially started by beading and adding other embellishments such as stones and sequins to fabrics, but I eventually stopped that line of business as I had to leave the country for further studies. Paper crafting on the other hand was something I never fully explored.
……until it was time for my wedding. My husband and I went round all the invitations and stationery stores in Lagos, Nigeria and could not get decent and reasonably priced invitations in the colours we wanted. As he is also a designer and an architect by profession, we then decided to design, print and craft our wedding invitations and stationery ourselves! They did not only turn out beautifully, we also received a lot of rave reviews from friends and family.
It was at that moment that Colour Cascade was born. We later re-branded after a couple of years and birthed R'ADE Design Prints Handcrafts not only to meet a need nor solely fuel a passion, but to also enrich the lives of as many individuals, events and businesses as we can. Designing, printing and handcrafting couture invitations and stationery gives me incredible joy and the amazing feeling of satisfaction after seeing the pieces of card stock, paper, embellishments and other accessories transform into a piece of art has got me totally and completely hooked!!!
I am incredibly grateful to God for life's most special events which have also provided an apparent channel for this beautiful aspiration and will be very thrilled if given the opportunity to work with you in creating stunning and inspirational invitations and stationery for your special events. I hope to serve as a sort of "guide" throughout this process as I am here to help and inspire you, as well as make this aspect of your event planning process fun, easy and thrilling!
I am happy to set up a consultation with you either in person (I am currently available in Lagos, Nigeria) but if you're not local we can easily work together via email, instant messaging platforms or phone.
I look forward to working with you. Many Congratulations!
