In the Igbo cultural wedding, there is nothing quite like the beauty of an outfit that celebrates tradition and exudes modern elegance. The inspiration in the bridal presentation, featured in the latest issue, exemplifies just that in the stunning outfit by Papaya Ex.
And it’s a reminder that elegance doesn’t always have to shout, that it might whisper instead and still make an impact. And if you’re planning your big day, you might want to think about how all the elements here, from cultural pride to glamour, come together.
The standout feature in the outfit has got to be the dress, courtesy of A1 Clothings, whose design takes on an elegantly sculpted off shoulder neckline that accentuates the body. This could then be supplemented by the use of the draped waistline, among other features, such as the beadings used on the outfit.
The beauty and elegance of Igbo brides’ clothing are well illustrated in this piece, and the blend of tradition and style that emerges always has an innovative and timeless touch. Makeup has an important role in this, and Paul Glam does it with a radiant effect.
