ARE YOU PLANNING or PREPARING FOR YOU WEDDING? AND YOU ARE CONFUSED ABOUT THE COLORS COMBINATION TO USE!!!!!! GET IDEAS

Choosing the color scheme for your wedding is one of the most important decisions you will need to make, although it is not necessarily the first. At the top of your list will be the wedding venue. Will you be indoors or outdoors? Will you be in an all-purpose room that you can decorate with your colors or in an already stylized room with its own color scheme? 

Choosing wedding colors can be tricky. But don’t worry; we've got the perfect color combinations for your wedding day. Choosing your wedding color combinations is one of the first decisions you should make because you will then know what direction to go in when decorating.

Your choice of wedding colors tends to be a subconscious reflection of your personality and an indication of how you imagine your future marriage will be. You may have decided on your color, or colors, years and years before your wedding, but it will still reflect your personality traits.

Your choice of colors may be in your wedding invitations, your table decorations, your flowers, your bridesmaid dresses or your wedding gown

As soon as you know what limitations your location imposes, feel free to experiment with your favorite colors. Use fabric swatches or paint sample cards to compare the effects of your combinations. After all, this is your wedding. Surround yourself with the colors you love.

Yoruba Traditional Wedding Dress for Husband & Wife

Attire for the Bride and Groom

Aso-Oke is fabric of choice for this special occasion.  It is considered the pinnacle of all fabrics for Yoruba people on occasions like weddings, birthdays, celebrations of life of deceased parents, chieftaincy title ceremonies, and any other important commemorations.

This Yoruba wedding attire is hand woven with special thread that has been soaked in homemade dye. That was before this age of new technology. There used to be three different colors of Aso-Oke fabrics:

• Al’aari: rich maroon
• Etu: navy blue
• Sanyan: very light brown with strips of cream

These days, there are various colors of thread that are used. You can have Aso-Oke you desire made for you in any color or design made of cotton or silk.

The other fabric option to wear is embroidery lace or any beautifully-colored fabric that is within your budget to make the four-piece outfit for the ceremony.

  

The groom will have a complete four piece outfit of Yoruba wedding attires consisting of these pieces:

• Agbada: a large flowing gown that covers from the neck to ankle and from the left wrist to the right wrist.

• Buba: this is a loose and roomy top that is shorter and smaller than the agbada and falls to the knees. It has long sleeves extending to the wrists.

• Sokoto: a roomy garment like a pair of pants with an elastic band or string to tie it at the waist.

• Fila: the wedding outfit is not complete without this hat.

The bride will also have four-piece outfits of Yoruba wedding attires made of the same color and fabrics as the groom.
• Buba: a wide, long-sleeved blouse

Iro: a wrap-around garment to be worn at the waist

• Gele: a head tie or scarf

• Iborun or ipele: a shawl or shoulder sash

• Ileke (beads) or gold: necklace, earrings, and bracelets that take current trends into consideration. You can choose the color of beads to match your fabrics. You can even design your own pattern and have the bead-set made for you at a bead shop.

• Shoes/bag: either matching or to contrasting your Aso-Oke in color
• Hand-Fan: matching or contrasting the Aso-Oke or your shoes and bag
• Makeup: done by yourself or someone else. All these go well with Yoruba Wedding Attires.
