TRADITIONAL WEDDING - WHAT I WORE

Hello beautiful readers ,

Hope you all had a beautyiful weekend 'cus i sure did!!!I attended a friends wedding and let me tell you a secret I have never been to a wedding before but I have been to two funeral...weird innit; but have always seen beautiful wedding pictures and drool and moaned about not attending one so when I got an Invite my excitement went through the roof!!!

As you all know I am a Nigerian but from the Yoruba tribe and If a wedding a.k.a Owanbe is taking place the full traditional outfit comes out which is the Iro,Buba and Gele or Aso ebi or ankara or Velvet...the list is endless but these are the common ones so I opted to wear the Iro ,Buba and Gele in a Lace texture which is basically a Blouse,wrapper and a headtie. The Headtie or the Gele is a hard fabric that comes in many types of fabrics such as damasks,aso oke,net gele and so on... but i wore a gele and trust me guys not everyone can tie these,but I tied mine and I think i did a great job at tying mine as there are so many styles such as layered gele,fan gele,satelish dish and so on...sounds funny right?? But I love my culture and the outifits.


The Gele also known as Head gear or Head tie styled in a satelite dish
Make up and Gele tied by me
The bride and Groom look stunning in their outfuts at the wedding too and it was such a wonderful wedding,I had fun and it was great seeing so many faces I haven't seen in years!!!

One of the Many Faces I havent seen in Years

I had a really great night at the wedding,wish i could rewind it all back!!!!I cant wait to attend more Weddings(Owanbe) .

 Wishing the couple a Happy married Life and may the Good Lord bless their Union.

Have a blissful week ,
