Weddings used to be all about adorning suits and all-white gowns until recently. Africans have now started to proudly embrace their roots through apparel. African fabrics especially the regular Ankara designs have gone one notch higher. They have taken the fashion industry by storm and are somewhat bringing their popularity and influence to bear on the good old wedding dresses.
Africans, most especially Nigerians do not joke with weddings, they take months to prepare for the big day. Weddings are only once in a lifetime, hopefully, and brides, in particular, would certainly like to look their best.
African designers are on top of the latest trending detailed designs, which are a combination of the old and new – a melting point of ancient and modern with a touch of class, sophistication off-white, and Africanness.
This new trend is forward-looking, it’s bold, vivacious, and, if you like, overbearing. Wedding dresses have taken a new dimension from what used to be. From that conservative white or cream/ off-white color to something extremely colorful, extravagant, scintillating, and eye-popping.
Top designers like Lani Apparels have added a little spice to some wedding dresses to give them a unique, different look and African touch. The most recent and trending wedding style is the combination of Ankara fabrics with traditional wedding dress fabrics.
The Ankara fabric has recently been widely accepted and rocked by big celebrities including Beyoncé.
Although some people are skeptical about the new Ankara-wedding dress trend, some have embraced it beautifully well and are changing the face of weddings with it.
What’s your preference? Would you rather rock the Ankara-wedding dress on your big day?
