The Ijaw/ Kalabari Wedding
The Ijaw, Kalabari bridal attire is simply breathtaking! They love to wear coral accessories, the crown and chunky coral beads.
The dressing of an Ijaw man will not be complete without the bowler now better known as ‘resource control’ a hat and a walking stick.
Both men and women like to complement their very rich tunics and expressive feather hats with expensive coral beads and gold.
We have several other traditions and marriage attires but I think these are the most worn in Nigerian marriages. Marriages they say are made in Heaven but celebrated here on earth.
In Nigeria, marriages are sacred and should be celebrated in a more sacred manner which is the traditional way. This does not in any way negate the efficacy of the white wedding.
So why not try some of these attires for your wedding?
