WeddingFever: Pls is it wise to use aso-oke to conceal pregnancy? Shud I tie it on my waist or across my shoulder? I dont want my tummy shooting out?

Let it drape from the shoulder but don't be self concious about it!

nwapastor: How can I combine d colours white, blue, yellow and white, blue, pink for white n trad wedding?

In order words, your white wedding will be blue and yellow while your trad is blue and pink. White is a neutral color and is used as base color.

So what you need now is to choose the right shade of the colors.

Yvete: Hi Ladies, which lace is of better quality and looks luxurious (modern design) - French or Swiss lace? Thanks.

Of cos, marocious, we may chat privately.
Meanwhile, I hope you understand why we're having so many hidden and edited posts and why yours, has to be one of them. You may start a seperate thread dear, if you wish to give detailed info of what you do. That way, others won't think it's okay to flood here and alter the objectives of the thread.

I look forward to having that chat with you, really. Thank you.

@Rocktation, thanks, so how do i get in touch with u directly, how do i start d thread?

Sent you a mail.

@Rocktation, i saw the colour combination on the first page. Apart from primary colours and some few other colours i know, how do i get to see other colours and know whether i will like them? Can i go to the market to check them out? Im not the fashion type.
Thanks

Rezzy yeah, I think you should do that. Especially if you're trying to pick attires.
The challenge therein though, is that a lot of Naija marketers don't know the right names for certain colors either, even though they have them in their stock. A lot would readily call teal, just blue or light blue...which isn't untrue, technically. Lol. So you'd understand when I say you'd have one hell of a tour to do. And it could be plain weird to ransack the entire eko market, shop after shop, because you wanna see all the colors in their stock.

But if you're internet savvy, you may simply take advantage of google to see different hues and their tones. You could try for profound/weird/catchy color-combos for dresses, halls, flowers e.t.c...and on like that.

@Rocktation, thanks so much. I will do dat.

Below's a pic rep of all I want to suggest.



Groomsmen in cream suits and red bow ties. They may coordinate with a white shirt. Any color tie matches a white shirt. If you are ever in doubt, wear a white shirt. Then again, a valuable option is that they match their shirts with the same color of tie. This has been done for decades and is still trendy. A red shirt and red tie (patterned or plain) would do just fine.

Bridesmaids may go with gold and red dresses combined as shown in the pic (I also suggest red dresses, gold sashes and on gold shoes) and your fam can go with cream on red, just like the couple.
Note; I did not include you (the couple) in this suggestion, but from the 4 options above, you may fit somewhere.

Gold dresses, gold sashes coupled with red hats or ribbons for your bridesmaids would be great too, but preferably if the gold's chocolatey (bronze-like) like the chick beneath.

And then, your bouquet may look like this;

Sorry about the late response. I get so swamped sometimes, that all I can do is zap in and out of here. And that's only because of my commitments here!

its ok. Ur efforts are appreciated.

Are you suggesting making your groomsmen too matchy with your bridesmaids? Because I suggested the cream suits for them, given that they're men and red and/or gold would be that shouty for them, and like we're avoiding.

But if you want it that way, red could be the sashes on the cream dresses for your girls.
Also, the red on the bouquet can be cream all through.

In truth, the red and gold made possible, the color scheming. Anything other than these, would mean that everyone will have to appear in a single color...preferably cream (which you can pull off though, if the prints come in VERY distinctive patterns). B'cos the groomsmen won't look too great in red or gold suits.

Roctation, you sure you don't want to start up a wedding consultancy business? The sky is big enough though Welldone!

Coming from you of all my fav persons, it's definitely worth a thought. Thanks Sassy!

@ Rocktation what really do you do? tthis is really very informative. Guess you have a passion for planning.

Gurl, I'm a full fledged medic.
But as the inquiries come, I'm realising on the go that I may have attended and been involved in the planning of one to many weddings. Almost all the pics I've uploaded this far, are pics of my real friends even!
