written by Goody

Here are the Igbo traditional wedding attire (Igba nkwu attire). Traditional wedding is one of the most popular marriage types in most tribes in Nigeria which Igbo is among. Bride to be and groom spend so much time searching for the best traditional wedding attires and costumes for their day. It is not a bad idea to start considering some colours and styles even before getting married. That’s why we have made a great effort to help you in choosing the best attire for your either as a bride or groom. While you are busy checking out for the best outfit for your day, also consider the color of your Asoebi for both the men and the Ladies.

Color Combination for Traditional Wedding and Costumes

Your choice of colour is one thing that will determine how your environment of celebration will look like, therefore you have to be careful in doing this. Remember that whatever colour you are choosing should match perfectly with that of your partner. In 2022, we discovered that men are seriously falling in love with the colour “white” and a touch of their women’s chosen colour while the ladies are going for their preferred colours.

For your day, you are meant to appear in two attires, 1st traditional wedding outing attire for welcoming/greeting your visitors, 2nd traditional wedding outing attire for the occasion proper and you will see all of them here.

1st Traditional Wedding Outing Attire

As the name implies, this is your first attire. For the bride, you can choose to sew skirt and blouse, Gown, or even tie a wrapper at your chest with either Lace material, George, or other types of Wax prints. The bride will need to put on her neck bead, hand bead and hair adorned with beads preferably coral beads and hold her fancy tail or handfan. The groom on his own side can choose to put on a piece of wrapper preferably George or any other material, with his neck and hand beads, a walking stick, a cap and hand fan to match.

2nd Traditional Wedding Outing Attire

This is where you have to put more effort in order to look gorgeous. Personally, I will advice the bride to go for two pieces wrapper either George, Lace or Wax prints in rare cases, still the choice is yours because it is your day. Choose a color that is sharp and select the right style for it. The groom can choose from Agbada, Kaftan or Senator style. His choice of color may not be exactly with that of the bride but rather something that will complemenet. The bride should put on her Gele headwrap whuile the groom will put on his cap with other matching acessories as seen on the pictures below.
