Why Nigerian Women Always Search for the Latest Aso-ebi Styles
Every stylish Nigerian or African woman prefers cut-and-sew (custom-tailored) or couture outfits because she just wants her own dress to look different from the mass-produced ready-to-wear outfits or English-ready-made-dresses. To some, especially, non-Nigerians, this may be a good or bad thing, but that’s just how fashion-savvy African women are wired.
At many Nigerian weddings, friends and family of the celebrants are required to show solidarity, or better still, identify their closeness to the bride and groom by wearing outfits in coordinated fabrics and colours.
Imagine how a gathering would look like if every guest was wearing the exact, same fabric (colour and pattern) and all sewn in a similar design? Well, that’s why female Nigerian wedding guests are always looking for new dress styles and latest fashion ideas, in order to stand out in the sea of sameness called wedding guests’ aso-ebi.

Good evening. I am doing Traditional and White wedding. My colour for traditional wedding is Pink, Ash and sea green. Is it good? Then, in my white wedding I chose blue, white. My suite is grey with a blue vest, while my wife clothe for reception is also blue to match my tie. What will be the best clothe for Ashebi’s to fit colour of the day???
Hello Leonard, those colours are good and combine well. For the 3 colours you chose for your trad wedding, ensure to use one of them minimally and have one as the main colour.
For your asoebi, peach is a nice colour and combines well with a variety of colours. You can pick any of these 57 different peach asoebi colour combos that I compiled.
Hi! Thanks for the good work. I have decided to use baby blue, red and gold as the color of my day (for my wedding), the bridal train wears dark blue but the problem now is colour for the ladies of the day, I can’t figure out the color for them… Mothers of the day will wear red and white,
What color of dress and igele do you suggest from blue, red and gold that will cause color riot. Thank you
Hello Juliet, good to know your wedding aso-ebi colour combination choices.
From your question, looks like you meant to ask “what colour combo will NOT cause colour riot?”.
Dress: Wine or Red | Gele: Gold OR
Royal blue or Ono-blue dress and Gold coloured gele OR
Champagne Gold dress and Red Gele; OR champagne-gold blouse and Red Skirt/ wrapper PLUS Red Gele.
Hope that helps.
Please am preparing for my traditional and white wedding, what color can I combine… My man is dark while am chocolate in colour
Hi Juliet, colour tastes differ from person to person – some hate red, another likes red as their best colour. >When choosing wedding colour combination, one way is to start looking at the types of colours you like to wear in your everyday life. >What’s your best colour(s)? Build your wedding colour combo around your best everyday colours.
>You can easily decide on a combp from looking… SEE other people’s wedding outfit combos, and choose the one(s) that appeal most to you. SEE outfit colour combos for brides and grooms on Instagram, Pinterest and websites like this, BellaNaija, NigerianWeddingBlog and others.
Evening,am having my wedding soon thinking about some color combinations Burgundy for the groom,til green and gold for the bride coz I don’t want him to wear black suit and how can I design my head gear and brucay abt this three combination thanks. waiting for your reply
Hello Temitope, for the bride’s colour scheme that you’ve chosen (Teal Green and Gold), any of these would combine well as a THIRD COLOUR: white, cream, coral, soft gray, navy blue, pink, brown, soft gray.
Hope that helps (sorry for the late reply).
I’m planing to visit my father in-laws for the first time, what and what do I do. can go alone or with a friend.
Hello Olufemi. I will point you to a detailed article I wrote for you on how a groom-to-be should prepare before and during first visits to his future father-in-law (click here to read it). >The principle is the same irrespective of what part of Nigeria you’re from – that post was for preparing for Igbo weddings, but applies to almost every Nigerian culture.
So, read it and apply the tips.
Bless U ma for all d videos..have picked some ideas from there but I have 2/3questions ma….1—My Colour combination is Royal Blue nd golden yellow.my Asoebi ladies are 6in number,I am charging them for Cloth/Gele nd sowing(is dis right)???? 2nd question is almost similar:—My other female friends who can’t afford Cloth/Gele/Tailor, How do I go about their needs??? Am I to sell same fabric of my 6asoebi ladies to them or get another material for them??? 3rd question is about Me–I am Yoruba nd spouse is Edo,we will be dressing in my Yoruba attire for Engagement, but I want to wear the Edo Attire during d reception, Can I have a pix of what to wear???thanks a lot ma,I await your reply
Hi Betty,
1) Your chosen aso-ebi colour combination is good. Both colours combine beautifully.
2) It’s okay to do 2 outfits on your trad wedding day – one for your Yoruba attire and the Edo attire of your groom’s people. Many people do it that way. You can find outfit style pictures of Yoruba brides here and here, AND style pictures of Edo brides here.
3) Asoebi should not be forced on people – making it optional is better. Let those who can afford it buy, and others wear whatever they have.
>My suggestion for your friends that cannot afford your asoebi is that you can make buying asoebi optional for them, because if not, they may not feel they are welcome to your wedding. So, if you really want them to come, inform them that they are free to wear their own non-asoebi outfits. Well, unless you don’t mind them being absent.
4) Another option is Gele-asoebi to those who want. Make it optional for those who can.
I hope the above thoughts help you.
I’m getting ready form my traditional and white wedding, how do I combine colors like red, gold, sea green
Hello Favour. Congrats on your upcoming traditional wedding. Here are some combo ideas:
-Red and Gold for Bride: Gold top/ blouse and red wrapper, red Scarf/ Gele
– Sea Green and Gold: Sea Green wrapper and Gold top/ blouse, with gold scarf/ gele, AND coral beaded necklace
Soon, we would come out with a detailed post on Nigerian colour combination ideas – check back to see when it’s out.
Aso ebi is d best oooo
Yes oo, Alade. Thanks for stopping by.
Hi,
Is it tradition for the brides friends and family to wear one colour and the grooms friend and family to wear another colour but both sets of friends and family to wear the same headtie? Or should both sides wear a different colour head tie?
Thanks
Hello Tolu, the norm is to have one way or colour to identify each family side, whether it’s by Gele or by outfit – it’s your choice to decide. Any way is okay.
Some people choose to have everyone wear same outfit colour BUT differentiate each side by the headtie or fila (cap) colour. Some choose to have each family side wear different outfit colours, and different or same Gele/ fila. It’s the bride’s choice that determines.
I need to change my wardrobe to Nigerian style residing in south Africa Limpopo , where can I get you stylish cloths
Hello Jane, the usual thing we do here in Nigeria is to buy a fabric, then show your desired style to your local tailor and ask them to sew the dress style for you. That’s what most of our readers are doing with Nigerian styles we feature here and I know that South Africa also has some very good dress makers and fashion designers. So, bookmark this page and when you get to your tailor, show him/ her your best style(s).
I am an English lady and have been invited to an a wedding. Their colour is red and gold …can you help me please? I am a size 24 UK. Many thanks. I need this outfit by next week.
Welcome here, Donna, and thanks for commenting. Red and gold is one of the most popular Nigerian wedding guest (asoebi) colour combo. You can find styles to choose from by looking through our wedding guest lookbook here (click). Once you find something you like, show it to your dress-maker/ tailor to sew for you (s/he would make your dress to your UK size 24).
Hope those tips help. Enjoy the party.
I am a young Zimbabwean mum who loves fashion and residing in South Africa.Nigeria women I am in love with your fashion.My wedding will be Nija style.Well done to the nija websites.
Thanks, Nokuthula. I’m sure you’ll look very pretty wearing a Nigerian traditional wedding attire (because Zimbabwean women are gorgeous). I look forward to hearing about your wedding and seeing the pictures to feature here, if you like 🙂
sorry ma is it possible 4 bridal trains 2 wear the colour of the dress of the chief bridemaid as thier shoe and also chief bridemaid to wear the color of the bridal trains as her shoe.
Yes, Olajide – it is possible. I see you’re trying to coordinate your girls’ outfits within your colour scheme – that’s nice.
I Am A Moderator (Alaga Ijoko/iduro) for Introduction/Engagements. Can You Choose Asoebi Colour With Gele/beads To March? Is There Any Price For That, Payment I Mean? I Like Ur STYLES. GOD BLESS U
Hi Yemisi, welcome to our Nigerian wedding blog. Thanks for your feedback and for your question. Of course you can match your asoebi fabric colour with your beads-necklace and Gele – that is naturally what everyone or most Nigerian women do. *I am not sure what you are asking price for.
Please, how do i save a picture style from your look book?
Hi Wendy, one way is to pause the video when you see a style you like, and then use your phone or camera to take a smapshot. That’s the way I know how but there may be other ways. Thanks for visiting NaiaGlamWedding. Be sure to check out our other wedding fashion lookbooks by clicking here.
