Edo traditional weddings have always been unique in that they are rich in culture and that royal essence that sets them apart. It is not just the beadwork that is rich in tradition but even the accessories that are worn during the wedding.

Check out this gorgeous look from designer Tinnuques, and you can see that it represents the best of blending tradition with a shiny, bright twist. The bride represents bride excellence, and she looks every bit the queen she is meant to be.
Let’s take it apart, beginning with the clothes. The dress itself is sleeveless and has a cut out design in the neckline, beaded all the way through to create a shining effect. The part that truly makes it stand out are the borders of cowries and coral beads, it’s the authentic look of the Edo era.
Accessories play a huge role here too. The majestic Okuku, crafted by Fola, sits proudly as a headpiece, tying in the traditional elements that make Edo brides so iconic. Coral beads are more than just adornments. They are symbolic of prosperity and richness, cascading beautifully to complete the entire attire. These are the components which turn a good look into an enchanting one.
