This designer only had 3 days to make 5 bridesmaids dresses for #KFCWedding, he tells us how he did it

Behind the bridesmaids' designs

The #KFCWedding ended the year off on a high note for all South Africans. While the bridal party looked stunning, the team behind the bridesmaids’ dresses let us in on the rat race that came before the big day.

Bridal gown designer, Moses Mkhatshwa from Pretoria is the founder of MX Creations. Moses is so excellent in his craft that he gained a lot of popularity when he designed his wife’s wedding dress when they got married in 2013.

When South Africans saw his wedding on popular wedding show, Our Perfect Wedding, they showered him with praises for his work. He has once again wowed with his part in the #KFCWedding.

Moses then went on Twitter and tweeted to pledge to design the bridesmaids’ dresses, however, because he doesn’t have a huge following, he asked his client and friend, South African actress Tsholofelo Matshaba to retweet his pledgeUpon getting traction from the actress’ tweet, Moses was contacted by the organiser of the wedding a week before the wedding to design the bridesmaids’ dresses.

“I met up with the #KFCBride, Nonhlanhla and her bridesmaids and got a brief of what they would like. They gave me the colour, neckline and length of the dresses, and I came up with a design,” says Moses.

Unfortunately, at the time his team was away on holiday and this left them with only three days to make the dresses. They got to work once everyone was back at work — a day earlier than planned.
