The white wedding of Akin Faminu and Kiky Festus brought the celebrations to a close, and guests turned up in looks that matched the scale of the day. After the traditional ceremony already delivered strong fashion moments, the church and reception looks kept the conversation going.
Big Brother Naija star Dede Ashiogwu stood out among the guests in a royal blue gown for the HookedOnTheFaminus outing. She styled the look herself, choosing a strapless floor length satin dress in a deep royal blue. The bodice had a heart shaped keyhole at the chest, finished with blue beadwork and hanging string beads. A large structured drape sat at the hip and fell into a side train.
She completed the outfit with crystal teardrop earrings, simple rings, an olive green manicure and hair pulled back into a neat braided bun.
The appearance also answers a familiar question about guest dressing. Royal blue works well at a white wedding. It is rich enough to look considered, yet it does not compete with the bride the way a louder colour sometimes can. When a gown already has a cutout and a side train, fewer extra pieces keep the dress as the centre of the look. Matching blue earrings frame the face, a warm makeup finish helps jewel tones sit well on the skin, and a small contrast such as olive nails adds a personal note.
Dede’s self styled appearance has set a high mark for white wedding guest dressing this season.
