Hi Stella. Thanks for the nice work on your website. I am looking for a make-up artist for my wedding in July. I will appreciate if I get responses. Thank you so much.

Thanks, Ebun. God bless you too. I’m happy to know that the above article has made you confident on choosing a good makeup artist.

Thanks a lot for taking out time to outline this for me ..i am really impressed. God bless u for d good work u r doing on this platform

Hi Ebun, yout colour combo is elegant – it’s a sweet combination. Regarding how to combine matching colours with that combo for your groom’s trad wear, family members’ aso-ebi, friends’ aso-ebi, venue decoration and bridesmaids and groomsmen outfits, here’s an idea you can work with or change to suit you:
-GROOM’S TRAD WEAR: 2 colours only. Your aso-oke wrapper (silver) = his agbada AND cap (cap may or may not have the green (embroidery). His dashiki/ inner kaftan can be a neutral colour (white, cream etc). OR you may decide to have him rock only 1 colour for his entire trad attire = the colour of your lace top (PEACH); in that case his cap would be the colour of your wrapper.
-FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS’ ASOEBI: Pick one of your colours as the GELE or outfit, and then pair with suitable matching colours. For example:
PEACH GELE: green/ emerald green attire and peach gele
Blue/ navy attire and peach or gold gele or even silver gele.
Another aso-ebi group can be: Green Gele with silver/ carton colour/ cream attire
-VENUE DECOR colour combo: you won’t want to be wearing peach/ silver nd your decor / chairs and walls are all coloured like you.
Venues always look elegant in Neutral (white or cream) AND A touch of Green (that your embroidery colour) + white OR cream.
Like: white Chairs with green sash. OR whte or cream table covers with a green mapkins placed on top of flat plates.
-BRIDESMAIDS N BESTMAN during your white wedding: peach or green dresses (or purple for chief BM if BMs wear peach).
Groomsmen: blue or black or navy blue suit with peach ties.
I hope those tips would inspire you – just feel free to change up these suggestions to suit you.

Thanks, Maria. I feel you – everyone, especially brides on their wedding day, likes to have an experienced makeup artist do their makeup. But when everyone flaunts themselves as experts, it can be difficult for brides to know who is the real deal – that was why we wrote this article. Thanks foe your feedback. I agree that new and good makeup artists are likely to satisfy their clients, in order to win them back and also increase their customer-base. *But we don’t expect student makeup artists to use clients’ faces for practicals – they should be using their friends and colleagues’ faces until they graduate. Haha

Hi Mary, welcome to our Nigerian wedding blog. Traditionally, the groomsmen attire/ suits should coordinate with that of your groom – their outfits/ suits should be similar in style. Your groom should aim at using accessories to differentiate his look from that of his groomsmen – examples include: his tie colour/ design, cuff links, and other small details. He may even want to have the same style of suit with his groomsmen, but his own could be slightly different in colour and/ or a few small details.
2.) Your groomsmen style should also sync with your bridesmaids – one way is to use the bridesmaids dress colour to inspire the colour of your groomsmen ties or socks or shirts. That way, your entire wedding party outfit will be cohesive.
**Hope that helps.

Hi Stella,

I am also going with Royal blue for the bridesmaid and peach for chief bridesmaid for my wedding but now I have issues with what colour the groomsmen should go for. The groom will be wearing a white and black tuxedo. What colour would you advice the groomsmen and best man to go for?

Thanks

Hi Yinda. I suggest that you talk to this Aso-ebi seller (Temitope) – contact her on Facebook and tell her that NaijaGlamWedding pointed you to her (click here to go to her FB page). You’re a considerate bride, and that is very good. We always advice our brides to pick asoebis that their friends can afford.
