Creation: October 2012
About:
The inception for HabeshaBrides came from a former Habesha Bride who found the Habesha wedding planning process more difficult compared to weddings of other cultural backgrounds. Simply starting as an instagram page, HabeshaBrides has flourished into becoming the authority on habesha weddings. Creating a communal environment past, present, and future brides have come together to support women in the habesha diaspora as they go through the cultural right of passage of being a Habesha bride.
Habesha:
