African Traditional Dress Culture - Blue Wedding Dress

Do Africans wear wedding dresses?

Before that, there were really no African girls to wear wedding dresses.

At that time

In the picture, the bride is naturally the traditional African dress, and many people choose beautiful dresses made of high grade cloth such as wax cloth and embroidered cloth.

Even though Catholics and Christians in the coastal cities of Africa are accustomed to getting married in church, they seldom dress in wedding photographs.

The reason is that the average person is not willing to spend money in this area. The other is the traditional wedding dress is more suitable for the white hair, complexion and figure. African girls do not feel good about it.

But in recent years,

And TV programs are very popular in Africa, so that local people begin to adapt themselves to the taste of wedding dress. More and more black models who are active in T platforms in Europe and America show their unique charm to their compatriots. So wearing wedding dresses and taking wedding photos quickly become the fashion of young people in many countries.

Because of limited financial resources, most African brides do not customize wedding dresses, but to "wedding".

The rental shop is leased.

These shops are usually located on busy commercial streets, with large bright glass windows on the street.

In Benin, a set of ordinary wedding rents charge 3000 West African francs a day (about 50 yuan).

Interestingly, many African brides like to rent light blue.

And other color wedding dress, not white wedding dress, this is related to the needs of complexion.

Besides, most of the wedding dresses used for rent are secondhand goods, and are not designed for local people.

It is worth mentioning that the African photo studio rarely provides a complete set of wedding photo service, because such services are not welcomed by new people: too tired, too expensive and too slow.

Most of the wedding photos we can see are directly photographed. The photographer will attend the wedding ceremony as guests and staff members.

Reporters attended a wedding in Mali when the new people spent 25 thousand West illegal Lang (about 400 yuan) to rent a small restaurant (no meal), and spend 75 thousand West illegal Lang (about 1200 yuan) for the band.

And hire a flower car.

In this way, hundreds of people attended the grand wedding ceremony, and the sound of the drum, singing and laughter continued. The photographer was busy keeping the best picture of the new person in the photo.

The whole wedding cost was small, and the new guests and guests enjoyed it.

As a dress.

It will only take a little while to photograph the wedding. At other times, the bride will wear beautiful African dress and enjoy the guests.

African wedding, dance and drums are always necessary, always wearing rented wedding dress is very awkward.

So what do the brides wear in the photos of the African marriage certificate?

I have seen only two marriage certificates in Africa for many years. The pictures above are made up of one inch of the bride and groom, and the bride's clothes are naturally without any attention.

In many parts of Africa, especially in rural areas, it is usually only heavy.

Without heavy certificates, many couples are full of children and have never registered.
