The Fero Buji Gnata was followed by the Sa Lalle (henna night). The henna night is similar to a bachelorette’s night as it is a night when the bride and other young women in her life and aunts-in-law would wear velvet dresses, and the bride would put on a sequined outfit and a veil on her face. The henna tray would be brought to the bride’s house by the groom’s relatives with two candles on it.
It is believed that henna gives blessings, luck, and joy, although it is also seen as a beauty enhancer. Some brides get their future spouse’s initials hidden into their henna design. There may also be symbolic designs representing joy, luck, success, beauty, and other positive qualities. Adama Indimi wedding.
The Kaulu event followed the henna night and finally concluded with the Kai Amarya, which is the conveyance of the bride to her matrimonial home to be received by the groom’s family.
For these four events, Adama Indimi was glammed up by Abuja-based makeup company Hermosaa Make-Up Studio. Nigerian wedding traditions 2020.
For her looks, Adama chose outfits from popular Nigerian design houses such as Toju Foyeh, Kulu, and DZYN. The bride’s family opted for various African print-designed outfits that added even more color to the various ceremonies.
