Wedding Ideas - Naija

A very interesting story, one beautiful bride and the most interesting couple ever. I am more than thrilled to have this wedding story up for our pleasure. Kayinsola’s wedding colors also thrills us as  you don’t see such  color combination used often in Naija ( Teal and Mint).  The bridesmaids using handfan is also very chic! A dream come true experience and every girly girls wish for a fairy tale wedding. Thanks to Genesis Paparazzi photography  who shared this with us! Have fun reading..     How we met from Bride: Let’s say our meeting was destined. I met my hubby in Abuja through a mutual friend. It was funny really.m  I remember my first thought was “what’s it with him”? Cos he kept giving me one word answers! Suddenly, he couldn’t keep his eyes off me, as he just kept staring at me so much so that our mutual friends whom when where with also noticed. The next day he called me and a long friendship started. This lasted for Eight good years!                 Wedding Planning: I loved every little part of d planning but the details I loved best was the detailing that went into my [...]

Green is one of the most versatile colors that can be used in weddings. Do you love the color Green? At one time Army Green was trending in naija and I believe it can never really go out of color style. Green can be combined with almost all colors.

Gosh! Did you notice the rush in weddings here in Naija these days? We are definitely not backing down even as we approach the raining seasons. A lot of colors are also flying around and it's not as easy to kind of pin a color down as trending right now.

Oh My Days! Uti and Dr Erasmus got married and we are fired up about his proposal. We are happy to know that guys really do care to go all the way in making it a memorable one. Girls! Naija guys are a bunch of sweetheart and that's official .

Lately we've been thinking whether Naija's are really the ballgown type. My doubt was swept away with pleasure when I set my eyes on Mo Abudu's dinner dress. Just recently, MoAbudu of Ebony TV celebrated her 50th birthday and guess what she wore- a stunning ball gown from Oscar De La Renta.

We don't get to see a lot of themed weddings in naija at the moment but I was more than excited when I noticed an event designer with a moroccan theme. I am yet to see how this would grow. It would be fun to see us choose and get whatever themed wedding we like .

This classy wedding was actually meant to be featured lastweek. Issues with local internet provider but nevertheless, am glad to be able to still feature this today. This traditional wedding of Michelle and Jide is one of those intimate and classy traditional wedding that is pleasantly different from the norm in naija ( Chaotic). The bronzy gold Gele and Ikpele worn by Michelle on her lace material really stands out. One good thing about using a neutral color is it’s versatility in blending with almost all colors. Notice that the families and friends could now easily wear a color without the threat of clashing with the color of the couple’s attire. Fantastic shots by Alakija’s Studio and one of the most beautiful Nigerian couple ever.  Here are some of my favourite shots. HML Michelle and Jide!  

I know there is a lot of travelling and sharing of happiness around this season just as there are loads of Events planners in Naija now but am waaaay pleased as we we'd celebrate this holiday season and the beginning of the next year to introduce to you SELCAH EVENTS .

We love wedding inspirations and trad looks are one of our best. Not just because it gives you an idea of the colors trending in naija right now but you get to see stunning make ups and the beautiful bride-to-be in all her stunning glory.

Yesterday went like a breeze as the hot weather sets in again. As you get crazy for spring, we can't wait for the rains here in Naija the heat wave reminds you of the Arabian desert. Moving on to bridal party focus.

We've got a another fresh and beautiful Nigerian wedding makeover by OshewaBeauty. She nailed this look and the bride came out looking stunning. Someone once said of naija makeup artist, they can actually save the world. I AGREE! With their brush and pencil, they can make a woman go from 'just there' to OMDayz beautiful!

In Nigeria, these days most of our latest fast beat songs makes the rounds on the wedding day. No more slows or blues. and the best part is that there is no definite song used for a section of the wedding. The D’j's just blasts on most times and we all tend to enjoy ourselves singing and dancing along. Forget the blues, just naija ‘hip hops. Only exception is  perhaps Father/ Mother’s  dance.  But quite lately, they’ve been some love songs that have been on the airwave and making rounds in weddings too. Here are some of  the songs that are really trending the wedding charts. Not necessarily in the most popular order. But here we go. 1, Ada Ada by Flavour- Altho , it’s shows the igbo tradition but it’s still very popular among st many culture 2, Today-Today by Eldee- A no brainer 3, Kukere by Iyanya- Am not surprised at this. The song is very contagious 4,  Oyi Remix by Flavour Ft. Tiwa Savage- This good feeling song was nailed by Tiwa in it. 4, Love My Baby  by Wizkid – Always a favorite this one 5,  Remember ( Yori, Yori)  by Bracket Ft. 2Face 6, Beautiful Oyinye [...]

The good thing about having your wedding in Naija is that with colors, you’ve got absolutely no problem. One is not able to tie it down to anything. We have our fruits in almost all seasons and  only have the dry weather to deal with in the latter part of the year. Having said that, I am currently hearting the Sapphire Blue color and wish to see more of this. Pop out colors like this are always best used with a neutral / nude color for a tone down effect but if you wish, one could still add others like pastels and even sunflower yellow to it. In today’s color board, I am pairing with bronze gold.  A lovely color to use as an alternative to using Gold. This secondary color can be seen used in your accessories, program, favors, gifts, wedding cake and table wares.  Blue gives a soothing effect but sapphire blue evokes creativity, power and good judgement. I particularly like the groom’s  simple nude suit wear. With a nude color like that, one can then incoporate your wedding color easily. The Groom below can easily wear his boutonniere or bow tie in Sapphire blue or leave it [...]

Beads, Beads and more Beads! The south south Nigerian brides are well known for their beads and we are loving this inspiration. It is simple and very fitting on her. The traditional wedding of Mr and Mrs Omojafoh is just one of the weddings that most naija brides can relate with.

Oh My Days! Uti and Dr Erasmus got married and we are fired up about his proposa. We are happy to know that guys really do care to go all the way in making it a memorable one. Girls! Naija guys are a bunch of sweetheart and that's official .

Happy Saturday pretties! A cold cold December to remember for some but not for this two love birds who just tied the knot in the most glamourous affair in Naija. Chuma and Dope got married and we are happy to celebrate their love here on MyWeddingNigeria and can't wait to spread more love to you, this season.

We have never thought this is happening for real! Seeing the before and after of a naija guy is something new but miszposhmua took a bold step forward in creating a before and after look for guys! You want to know what she used to achieve this?
