What should I wear as a wedding guest in Lagos?

For a Lagos wedding, guests wear aso-ebi if the couple set one, otherwise rich lace, an Ankara or lace gown, or an agbada — gold, champagne and emerald read especially well for owambe. You can shop all of these from independent Nigerian brands on Theyutes. Theyutes holds your payment in escrow and only releases it to the seller after your order is delivered, so you never pay first for something that doesn't arrive as described.

Do I have to wear the aso-ebi?

Only if you want to join the family colour block — otherwise a coordinating lace or gown in the couple's palette is perfectly appropriate.

How fast can I get a wedding-guest outfit?

Same-day express is available in Lagos on eligible ready-made pieces; made-to-order looks show their lead time before you buy.
