Pre-Wedding

Wushe Wushe
This is a colourful Kanuri cultural event that takes place in the evening. The bride and groom sit on makeshift gold thrones while they watch the traditional music and dance performance. Friends and family members are also in attendance to celebrate with the couple.

Wankan Amarya
This is a Kanuri traditional event when the bride’s previously braided hair is undone and washed by her aunties. This happens while the men assemble to conduct the Wedding Fatiha. Traditionally, the bride is also carried on the backs of mothers or aunties and danced around the compound in a procession. This is followed by ablution and prayers of blessings.

Kalawa
The bride is adorned in garments owned by her great-grandmother and sits before her aunties. They pass her the Kalawa meal, which she is expected to pour back into the bowl.

This style features a fitted bodice with a structured corset that defines the waist and creates a flattering silhouette. The lace can be delicate and floral or bolder with geometric patterns. This is a great choice for brides who want a timeless and elegant look.

2. The hidden corset

This gown offers the same figure-flattering benefits of a corset but with a more relaxed look. The corset structure is hidden beneath layers of beautiful lace, creating a smooth and seamless look. This style is perfect for ladies who want a touch of structure without feeling too constrained.

3. The draped bodice

This romantic style features a soft and flowing lace bodice that drapes beautifully over the curves. The lace can be cascading or gathered, adding a touch of whimsy and movement to the gown. This is a perfect choice for ladies who want a soft and ethereal look.

4. The constructive sleeve

Lace sleeves are a stunning way to add a touch of detail and drama to your wedding gown. Look for gowns with statement sleeves, like puffed sleeves, bell sleeves, or off-the-shoulder designs, all crafted from beautiful lace.

5. The corsetless dress with simple sleeves

This relaxed and comfortable style features a flowing silhouette without a corset. The lace adds a touch of texture and interest, while the simple sleeves keep the look clean and modern. This is perfect if you want a comfortable and effortless look at a wedding.

6. The beaded lace dress

Shimmer and shine on your wedding day with a stunning lace gown embellished with beads. The beads can be subtle and delicate or bold and dramatic, adding a touch of glamour to your look. Ladies who want a dress that truly sparkles should go for this style.

7. The high slit

Add a touch of modern sex appeal to your wedding gown with a high slit. This daring detail is perfectly balanced by the elegance of the lace fabric. If you want a show-stopping look that’s still sophisticated, go for this style.

8. The sleeveless corset

This glamorous style features a fitted bodice with a structured corset and no sleeves. The lace adds a touch of texture and interest, while the sleeveless design creates a sleek and sophisticated look. This is perfect for ladies who want a classic and timeless silhouette with a touch of modern edge.

9. The cut-out

Show a touch of skin with a strategically placed cut-out on your wedding gown. This daring detail adds a touch of modern flair to your look, while the lace keeps the overall feel elegant and sophisticated. Go for this style if you want a unique and unforgettable dress.

10. The jumpsuit

For the fashion-forward ladies, a lace jumpsuit is a bold and unconventional choice. This unique silhouette is both stylish and comfortable, perfect if you want to break away from tradition.

Remember, this is just a starting point! With so many amazing lace gowns available, the most important thing is to find a style that reflects your personal taste and makes you feel confident and beautiful. Don’t be afraid to try on different styles and silhouettes to find the perfect one for you.
