The Cultural Symbolism of the African Bride’s Attire

The way an African bride is presented on the day of her wedding is of utmost importance, not just to the bride but all. An African bride at her wedding, through her attire, becomes a personified representation of her culture, her heritage, and her community.

Like most brides, the African bride looks forward to the “D-day” her African Prince to the awe of many, proclaims his undying love. Perhaps this makes an interesting Romeo and Juliet tale, but the key thing here is, how does the African bride get dressed for her wedding? How does she adorn herself culturally and why? With that in mind, an African, bride is on a mission to represent her community truly in culture through her native attire.

The dynamism of culture leads to an array of gorgeous African brides with distinct styles, colours, patterns, and ways of wearing their cultural attire. This entire embrace of cultural wear is a subtle mash-up of other cultures near and far. West Africa Nigeria – a country in West Africa is made up of several ethnic groups making up 371 tribes, so is the nation rich in culture. As brides are expected to be elegantly dressed, an Efik bride does so wearing the native Ofod

Ukod Anwang and Onyonyo. These native wears worn by Efik brides in their vibrant colours mirror the culture of the people and are very peculiar to those worn by other tribes in Nigeria. The latter is a two-piece clothing of a skirt and a top. This choice of dress is to show off the bride’s waist; the feminine qualities of the bride. The Onyonyo cultural attire is a modified Victorian fit. This graceful native attire shows off the bride’s elegance.
