Most people believe that dressing up for their traditional wedding is just for the sake of getting their guests to recognize them as the celebrants of the day. I see more to that.......
I see the beauty of combining your wedding colours in your attire, I see the brightness and the Glory of African handwork. I see the beauty of our deep, rich and colourful culture in those attires.
For instance, an Edo couple-to-be dresses up in their wonderful attire.
The bride wearing a beautiful neatly embroiled wrapper/skirt up to her chest, with beads flowing down from her head to her toes without leaving her hands and shoulders as well as carrying a white Horse tail, same with her train.
The groom wears a blouse, tying a wrapper with beads on his neck and a tradition walking stick on his hand.
A typical Yoruba bride would wear a lace blouse and wrapper (Iro and Buba), with a well tied head gear(gele) without leaving out the beads and white Horse tail. The groom wears the attire known as (Agbada) with a cap (fila).
So, you see why African wedding attire is rich and appealing.
I love Africa. I love Weddings.. I love culture....
