When it comes to creativity, Peller and Jarvis have made every stage of their wedding journey feel like its own event. From their AI-inspired proposal shoot that reflected their online personalities to their elegant civil wedding, the couple has kept fans looking forward to every new chapter. They saved one of their biggest fashion moments for last with their traditional Edo wedding, where culture took centre stage through custom looks that proudly celebrated the beauty and royal heritage of the Benin Kingdom.
Jarvis stepped into the ceremony in a custom Veekee James gown that blended tradition with modern craftsmanship. Made from rich crimson velvet, the fitted dress featured rows of coral beadwork that flowed beautifully from the bodice down to the lower part of the gown. The beading added texture and movement while keeping the design elegant and regal.
One detail that immediately stood out was her Okuku, the traditional Edo bridal hairstyle that has been part of Benin weddings for generations. The sculpted beaded crown gave Jarvis a royal presence and reminded everyone of the deep cultural meaning behind the Edo bride’s appearance. Draped with a soft red veil, the Okuku became one of the defining features of her bridal look.
Her jewellery stayed true to tradition as well. Layers of coral beads rested around her neck, with matching coral wrist cuffs completing the look. In Benin culture, coral beads are more than beautiful accessories. They are symbols of royalty, honour and prosperity, making them an important part of traditional Edo weddings. Jarvis also carried a black horsetail fly whisk with a gold handle, adding another cultural element to her appearance.
Standing beside his bride, Peller perfectly matched the royal theme in a custom outfit by Amy Aghomi. He wore a deep burgundy velvet ceremonial robe finished with gold embroidery over a crisp white traditional outfit. Layers of coral beads, matching wrist cuffs, a velvet cap trimmed with coral and a carved ceremonial staff completed his look, giving him the appearance of a groom ready for a royal celebration.
Together, Peller and Jarvis showed that traditional fashion is about more than looking good. Every part of their outfits reflected the history, identity and pride of the Benin Kingdom. From the famous Okuku to the coral beads and the symbolic details inspired by the Ada and Eben, their wedding style celebrated Edo culture with elegance and purpose.
As fans continue to enjoy every moment from their wedding journey, this traditional ceremony stands out as one of the highlights. It is a beautiful reminder that culture remains timeless, especially when it is celebrated with care, creativity and respect. Peller and Jarvis didn’t just wear traditional outfits. They proudly wore the story of Edo culture for the world to see.
