When it comes to Yoruba weddings, the best looks are those that are completely you. They are those who respect every bit of tradition while allowing your personality to breathe easy. If you’re the kind of bride who wants to stand out without spending the whole day adjusting anything, then this styled shoot by Cellas might be your blueprint.
The custom beaded outfit steals the show from the very first glance. The rich green bodice fits beautifully over the layers of carefully beaded fabric. The subtle butterfly design at the very center provides a touch of movement. The sleeves have beautifully embroidered flowers that shine with every turn.
Below it all, there’s a flowing blue skirt with every inch of it beaded to give it some weight. The overall look is both luxurious and light on the body, exactly what you need when you’re dancing your way through multiple ceremonies.
What makes the entire picture complete is the makeup by Oteniara Makeovers. It is bold and beautiful without being heavy or overwhelming. The skin looks radiant and healthy, as if lit from within. The eyes draw attention without drama, and the lips finish the look with quiet confidence.
The gele is on a whole different level of beauty and style. Demmy Gele expertly pleated the sègò from The Headtie Place, and it looks like a crowning glory on this bride’s head. The pleats are neat and well defined, providing just the right amount of height and drama without forgetting its traditional Yoruba roots.
The accessories are on point without drawing attention away from anything else. The jewelry is from Luideo provides a touch of sparkle without overwhelming anything else. The shoes and handbag from Exclusive Handmade Purse DT are perfectly moody and atmospheric.
