I have been looking for a wrapper to go with my beads for my wedding but can't find anything. I am Black American. Do you think my Bini man will like this dress for our wedding day in USA?

Ask him.

Ask him.

Lol a man should only see the dress on the day.

Ask him to introduce you to someone around that knows about traditional Benin dressing.

FYI, that dress looks good on you but if you want to go traditional, you need help from someone you can meet and talk to

That isn't me. That is from the website. I want to order it so it will arrive in time but I am not sure how strict the attire is. Does the dress absolutely have to be red? What about the beading? All those questions. Will the white and gold look good with the coral beads? Etc. I want him to be wowed away but still honor his culture.

That is an idea of how you should look. You cannot achieve it on your own. Ask your husband or his sisters/female cousins (if they live there too) to introduce you to people that can help. You can find more inspiration on the Bella Naija page below:

Don't sweat it if you cant get the complete attire like the beaded headgear or a red wrapper. Being married to the special man is all that counts at the end of the day. Congrats if you have already done your marriage. Perhaps the page can still give you more ideas for future events.

Oba ato kpeye ese!! (ask your husband or fiance what that means)
