In Nigerian culture, one of the key events of a wedding is the traditional fashion of the groom’s family wearing white attire as guests of honor.
If you’re planning a wedding and you don’t know what kind of outfit you want your guests to wear, here are two popular choices for the Nigerian groom’s family.
Aso-Ebi:
This style is characterized by a loose-fitting white jacket over a long skirt or dress, with a white top underneath. The “Ebi” part of the name refers to the type of fabric used. It’s also called “Iya Ebi.” The “Owambe” part means “mango flower” and refers to the mango leaves the women will be using for their hair accessories.
Owambe:
A similar look to the Aso-Ebi, the Owambe also has a loose white jacket over a dress or skirt, but instead of the Aso-Ebi’s “Iya Ebi,” Owambe is made of the “Umunna” fabric, which is a cotton print patterned with black and white flowers.
The Aso-Ebi and Owambe are popular choices for the groom’s family.
You can make your wedding guests look as stylish as the groom’s family by simply asking them to wear something they are comfortable in. This is an excellent way to help the groom’s family feel welcome and included in the wedding festivities.
If your groom’s family is going to be in attendance, you should give them time to find and get their own outfits. It’s a simple request that makes a lot of sense and will help them feel like they are part of the wedding.
