The bold and brilliant. The unique dressing is better placed somewhere between Delta State and Rivers of Nigeria, perhaps a conge of separate but Riverine cluster. There is also a heavy presence of Igbo attire - a little too Riverine for a specific group including the Great Benin who place emphasis on such colors. But the occasion is an exercise of affection between two lovers.
Of course we have not added the quality of the pictures but then the beauty and the bold mingle differently. What we have notice is a case or several cases of wedding theme with sustained emphasis on traditional regalia made for memories.

The above picture is probably one of the best set of selected couples. The attire does not disappoint and there is an inherit understanding between the couple.
There is language expressed directly and confidence expressed indirectly. There is an eagerness between the couples to sink into one's area of comfort. And the colors -damped red to royal yellow which brings out the design.
This design is called Bubba - practically Yoruba of Nigeria and offers interesting side light on how the West is conceived by Africans and what their intention essentially are.

Traditional Igbo outfits with crass of modernity and new style with jewelry to match the evening. The lady in pink is dressed Yoruba and the lady at the rear is closer to Benin.
The groom is no where visible in this picture, but there is a presence and show of happiness at an evening coming to an end.
We cannot fail to be moved by the collection set, custom in line of marriage dressing and there is enduring energy from experience as with those married, who edge a young and dashing couple.
In the absence of fatigue and when the lights die down, the room is not to small or the visitors too young for dancing. What is the new trend in marriage and models of dressing, and what is the new means of preparing for a wedding?
Majestic - picture perfect for adult congregation and pastoral image Bishop Oladipo --picture by JOBI for Bella Naija.
The picture here is an end not but the set piece by Jide Odukoya for Bella Naija does not disappoint at least for 2015.
The final dispatch is enhanced but the pink made more rosette by the applique ornamentation and cosmetic - deep set by similar and recently trained expert.
Point does not need to arise in the collagen effect on pink on rotunda harassed by the tint of color. The naturalness of the atmosphere and the show of skin suggest refulgence and fullness.
If completeness begins with the bride versa vice groom, there are echoes in this set of bridegrooms that some future will remember this gathering. The girls will part after the occasion but with traditional uniform dressing - it will be a past that will be remembered, there is hardly a more sobering beauty.
The color does not entirely disappoint, the make is made for the day but the complex of old and young feature images and retelling that will not easily age.
We are at once at the center of a great unraveling and we are looking history from the rear, that the years when the many living may not see, there are hands whose edgy fingers will remember.
What we have in a mater for marriage, that a set of bridesmaid - the authors and composers - should add the young and the old, at least for reasons which stand on their own and for other matters no longer an affair.
Traditional Nigerian Wedding. Class mingled with set pieces and the day was perhaps far from over - there is achievement perhaps.
How ageless seas do not change without reasons, their purity may not be an affair with time but a still moment, far from humdrum reality there is one time. I really like the exuberance of this classic Nigerian and perhaps Lagos picture.
The bids are not original Igbo - they are perhaps from Yoruba but there is every likelihood they are from somewhere which acquired a taste - but this is made to fit.
The taste is from the North and the influence also from the Northern Nigeria but who these quality women are is deserving for a second look. Your eyes only
