Tola and Enado Odunsi‘s traditional wedding took place last weekend in the ancient city of Benin, and it was a celebration of love rooted in culture. The ceremony brought together two cultures—Bini and Yoruba—and their outfits on that beautiful occasion told a clear story of love and unity.

For their first look, the couple embraced Bini tradition. Enado wore a red velvet gown by Emagine by Bukola, designed in the classic silhouette of a Bini bride. It was beaded leaf motifs that adorned the dress, but the focal point was the coral jewellery: layered beads worn across her neck, wrists, and head as a crown.

In her Instagram caption, Enado spoke about the meaning of the crown on her head. “The Okuku on a bride’s head is not just decorative. Every part of it is symbolic of the journey of a woman’s life. From her birth, lineage, marriage, childbirth, to the family she builds and her descendants.”

Tola was not left out of the cultural representation; he wore a long shirt, and long red wrapper known as Ode Irọzu from Deji and Kola, a red cap, and coral beads.

Their second look shifted to Yoruba culture. In a white aso-oke top and skirt with gold details from Bibi Lawrence, Enado’s outfit was defined by immaculate beading. However, her expertly tied gele, gold jewelry, and a gold leaf-shaped fan stole our attention. Tola, on the other hand, wore an agbada with gold embroidery and fila from Tea Couture that was both regal and simple.

Together, their wedding was not just a celebration of love but a reflection of where they both came from.
