African Traditional Dress Culture - Blue Wedding Dress

Do Africans wear wedding dresses?

Before that, there was really no African girl to wear.

。

At that time wedding photos, the bride is naturally the traditional African dress, many people choose the beautiful dress made of high-grade cloth such as batik, embroidered cloth and so on.

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, fashion magazines and TV programs are very popular in Africa, so that locals have begun to adapt to the taste of wedding dress. More and more black models who are active in T platforms in Europe and America are showing their unique charm to their compatriots. So wearing wedding dresses and taking wedding photos quickly became young people in many countries.

Because of limited financial resources, most African brides do not customize wedding dresses but rent them to the wedding dress rental shop.

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.

, pink and other color wedding dress, rather than white wedding dress, which is related to the need of collocation.

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 once participated in Mali.

At that time, 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) to ask bands, photographers, and hire flower cars.

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.

The wedding dress as a wedding dress 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, and the pictures above are for the groom.

One inch of the color photo is stitched together, and the bride's clothes naturally do not pay attention to it.

In many parts of Africa, especially in rural areas, it is often important that the marriage is not heavy on documents. Many couples are full of children and have never registered.

Then, the photos of the African marriage certificate are new.
