Testimonial from Mr. and Mrs. Brown

To all readers and potential customers…..I would like to recommend Tekay Designs for your special occasion.

My husband and I are truly happy to Kimma and her team for making our day exceptionally beautiful. I recommend them to you and guaranteed that you will not be disappointed.

My dress fitted perfectly well with no adjustments needed. Who buys a wedding dress without fitting it? I did, with no regrets. My friends thought I was crazy but when I stepped out on my wedding day, they were in awe. TeKay Designs made that possible. The bridal party outfits fitted well too with a few minor adjustments and some of them never wore African outfits before. They were impress.

TeKay designs are original and unique and you will hardly find them duplicated anywhere else. What I especially like about TeKay Designs as well is that you are given the opportunity to add a personal touch if you so desire.

Thanks TeKay Designs,

Mr & Mrs Royce Brown

Queen Tiye of Ancient Egypt Gown

TeKay Designs Inc. announces the launch of Queen of The Brides gown collection and new website during runway presentations in Houston and Dallas, Texas.

“Queen of the Brides” is a limited edition collection that features historical couture bridal gowns complete with jewelry and headpieces, a staple of Tekay Designs’ aesthetic. TeKay has been diligently creating ethnic bridal gown concepts that personify royalty.

The inspiration for the Queen of the Brides collection are historical fashion icons from ancient civilizations of Egypt, India, and South Africa.

The gowns represent women of power throughout history and are infused with cultural elements from a distinct time in history.

The initial collection includes gowns named after Queen Nefertiti of Egypt, Queen Cleopatra VII of Egypt, Queen Cleopatra Selene II of Egypt, Queen Ankhesenamun of Egypt, Mumtaz Mahal – Mughal Queen of India, and Manta Tisi – The Queen of the Wild Cats in South Africa.

Each bridal ensemble is worn with a headpiece or veil, jewelry and elaborate embroidery or beading stitched onto the gown. The fabrics include silk, embroidered lace, beaded Dupioni silk,  Duchesse satin, Poe de Soua, Aso-ake, Vintage lace trim, crystal and rhinestone trim.

The dominant colors in the collection are gold and silver which is symbolic. In ancient Egypt, yellow was the symbol of gold and immortality, white represented happiness.  Necklaces, armlets, bracelets, and anklets were made of gold, coral, pearl, agate, and onyx.  Collars made of shells, beads, and precious stones set into gold were worn as a necklace or attached to a neckline made of cloth or leather.

To accommodate themed ceremonies, each ensemble can have a matching gown set for the brides’ maids and suits for grooms men.

“To embrace historic culture in present day ceremonies is very meaningful and symbolic. To know your past is to know your future. Cultural themes set a forward thinking tone of confidence and success for a groom and his queen,” says Creative Director Kimma Wreh.

Queen of the Brides was launched in 2012 and is a wholly owned subsidiary of TeKay Designs Inc. which was founded in 1998. Queen of the Brides offers high-end historical bridal and formal gowns that include quality pieces of jewelry representative representative of the same time period.
