Traditional weddings will always have a special place in our hearts. We can’t help but love the colours, beauty and display of culture that they come with. Today, we’ve got something to have us all giddy and excited, thanks to Seralyn and David.

The love birds tied the knot in a vibrant carnival-themed traditional wedding and it was all so beautiful! If you missed their pre-wedding shoot, you should totally check it out here. Seralyn and David took their love the forever way and their traditional wedding is the burst of colour that our day needs.

Representing the Ijaw tribe of Seralyn, and the Tiv tribe of David, both cultures were perfectly blended to create such a bright and colourful day for the sweethearts. Seralyn was an absolutely gorgeous bride in all her four looks and David came through suave and dapper in his Tiv attire. Everything about this wedding has us smiling from ear to ear as we take in all the feels and beauty. The planner, 38 Seconds Events gives us an insight into the planning of this carnival-themed wedding. Keep scrolling to enjoy.

Here’s the planner’s insight into Seralyn and David’s special day:

It was Carnival themed wedding that portrayed Bayelsa and Benue’s tradition. The bride’s family are Ijaws while the Groom’s family are Tivs. We had a carnival troupe, stick dancers, cultural groups and carnival themed decor to highlight the theme of the event.
The Bride’s mum booked the vendors. She contacted and booked us to fine-tune her plans and coordinate the vendors. We arrived in Yenagoa on the 1st of April and executed the event on the 2nd of April at the Bride’s family compound. Decor and rentals were all arranged to fit the theme. The Carnival Troupe ushered in the guests. It was an amazing day overall.

Let’s check out David who’s also ready for the big day…
