Previously, we highlighted looks of Nigerian bridal parties donning the traditional aso-ebi or “cloth of the family.” Now we’re focusing on the bride herself!
If you’re not following the BellaNaijaWeddings instagram, you are missing out. There are literally thousands of photos that highlight the beauty in traditional Nigerian weddings. See some of our favorite looks from their instagram account below:

These are some pretty traditional ceremonials. They have it going on. I will share some of these photos on google and give credit. More people need to be aware of this unseen beauty??
I love them! I definitely want to wear something traditional for my graduation.
Really incredible.
Beautiful but there are other countries in Africa ….
exactly… its cool to be Nigerian but from what i recall in the past no one wanted to be African. #ilovemypeople
And you have every right to feel that way. I stand by your statement?
The 7th picture down is not Nigerian. They are wearing kente cloth from Ghana. 🙂
Lovely pictures of all the couples however. <3
MY PEOPLE looking so FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #Naija
I was just at my cousin’s wedding last week and the outfits are serious business. The traditional wedding was on the first day, she wore her white dress for the church ceremony, and the four, count ’em, FOUR different outfit changes during the reception. And they were all a variety of traditional, matching couple outfits. It was great. I was just a guest and I felt exhausted ahaha
Wow. So beautiful!!!
That ‘queen to be’ song from Coming to America, comes to mind.
Yup. I had a traditional Nigerian wedding and opted out of having a European traditional white wedding. Most Nigerians splurge and have both weddings. Then I went to City hall for the license. Nigerian weddings are a sight to behold…
Yup, they are gorgeous!
FYI, the 7th picture is actually traditional Ghanaian clothing 🙂
