African bridals like to wear a blue wedding dress
Talk about the past, it is really no girls wear wedding dress for marriage in Africa. Time of the wedding photos, the bride always wear a traditional African dress, many people choose to batik cloth, embroidery cloth, etc. high-grade fabrics produced beautiful dress. Even if the African coastal city of the Roman Catholic, Christian, has been used to get married in church, but rarely wear the same wedding photographs.
The reason, one of the most important is people are not willing to spend money in this regard; the other is the wedding dress more suitable for a traditional white bridal wedding hairstyle, skin color and body, the African girl wearing that does not look good.
But in recent years, fashion magazines and television programs are popular in Africa, so that local people began to adapt to the wedding of taste, more and more active in Europe and the United States a black T-stage models to their fellow citizens are also demonstrating the unique wedding charm, so wear a wedding dress, wedding photographs soon became fashionable for young people in many countries.
As the limited financial resources, most of Africa will not be customized wedding the bride, but to the “wedding dress rental shops,” rent. These stores are generally open in the downtown commercial street, the street has large bright glass windows. In Benin, a common wedding day rental fee 3,000 West African francs (about RMB 50).
Interestingly, like many African bride rented light blue, pink and other colors wedding, not the white wedding dress, and this color with the need to have a certain relationship. In addition to letting these wedding mostly second-hand goods, is not designed for local people, so wear is also some inconsistency.
It is worth mentioning that very few African studio to provide complete wedding services, because such services are not affected by the new people are welcome: too tired, too expensive and too wasted effort. We can see the wedding photos, mostly taken home directly please, photographers and staff will be the guest of the dual identity of the whole wedding ceremony.
Journalists in Mali had participated in a wedding, when the new people to spend 25,000 West African francs (about 400 yuan) rented a small restaurant (not feeding), spent 75,000 West African francs (about 1200 yuan), please band, photographer, and employed a float. As a result, there are hundreds of people attended the grand opening ceremony on Fengfengguangguang land, and the wedding drums, singing, laughter prevalent, photographers also busy with the newcomers to retain the best picture in the photo. The entire wedding cost very little, they are nothing but happy couple and guests, have fun.
As a wedding dress will only wear during the wedding with the camera for a little while, other times the bride will be wearing beautiful African dresses, and the guests with music. Africans missed the wedding dance and drums, the total rent to the wedding dress is very uncomfortable.
So, African marriage license photos, the bride wore what? I am in Africa for many years, only saw two marriage certificates, the above picture is the bride and groom respectively inch color photo into a mosaic, the bride’s clothes naturally without any stress. In fact, in many parts of Africa, especially in rural areas, often re-marriage is not only important documents, many couples have no children have been registered a full house.
