Considering the rapid change in trends and introduction of new fashion designs every season, a bride-to-be may have a big task when it comes to choosing the best traditional attire for her introduction ceremony.
Mariam Namujju says when the dates to her Kwanjula got closer, she kept panicking because she didn’t know where to start when looking for the perfect outfit for her big day.
My Wedding contacted some of the bridal designers in the game and they got to share some tips to look at when planning for your traditional attire.

Twikirize adds that most brides come with pictures of the outfits they want. However, some of them attires may not work for them.
“A bride may want a specific attire that she saw on someone with a different skin tone and when you try to convince her that the attire might not look good on her, she doesn’t listen to you”
