For the concept, they had models who played the roles of bride, groom and bridesmaids. The “Ashanti Wedding” was even complete with a cake, wedding decor and a marriage officiant.
The concept got love from hundreds of fans and this goes to show that many Africans and African Americans would hold an African inspired wedding without batting an eyelid. Why be like everyone else when you can be outstanding in a contemporary bespoke Kitenge gown? The models looked absolutely stunning in Ankara gowns by Everrything Rrouge, subtle makeup and head accessories. This Ashanti inspired shoot incorporated the Kente fabric from Ghana's Ashanti tribe.
