NIGERIAN WEDDING #1 || VELVET&LACE

PURPLE PETALS

Purple Petals,Hmm reminds you of flowers right??!

Well I wore this Outfit to a Wedding today although the aso-ebi colors was a mix of peach and Purple and Y'oll know how much aso-ebi costs these days so I decided to improvise and Sow my own Outfit which is coming out in My 'ironbuba' (top and wrapper) Collection coming out very soon.

I personally love these Silk Material I used to sow this outfit and the Buba (top) was very fitted in an oleku Style and the Iro (wrapper) was just a basic Iro but I tied in in a tulip style which is a common trend nowadays of tying your wrapper in Lagos,It can be tied in the front or to the side,whichever you feel comfortable with,but its pretty simple and easy to tie the wrapper.

I also paired this outfit with a Black shoe and Bag and some statement necklace just to give it that sophisticated and Classy look!!!

Until Next Time,

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 ,
