Featured in VoyageDallas: Meet Teni Oriola of Ivory and Pastels
We’re excited to share a recent feature on VoyageDallas highlighting the story behind Ivory and Pastels and its founder, Teni Oriola.
In the interview, Teni opens up about the journey of building Ivory and Pastels from a small idea into a fast-growing bridal styling brand. What started shortly after her wedding in 2022 has evolved into a full-service styling house, now serving over 50 clients across Africa.
She shares how her background in financial planning shapes the structure behind the brand, while her passion for fashion and beauty drives the creative direction. This balance of strategy and artistry is at the core of what makes Ivory and Pastels stand out in the bridal space.
The feature also dives into the realities of building a brand in a growing niche, from educating clients about the value of bridal styling to scaling a team and managing projects across different countries. Through it all, Teni emphasizes intentionality, attention to detail, and creating meaningful experiences for every client.
At its heart, Ivory and Pastels is about more than styling. It’s about storytelling through fashion, helping clients show up fully in some of the most important moments of their lives.
