BIRTHDAY PHOTOSHOOT INSPIRATION: FULL ASOOKE OUTFIT

Hello everyone, I’m back again with another banger lol! It’s the complete asooke set for photoshoots. Before now full asooke set was known to be used for Yoruba traditional weddings and not for anything else probably because of the texture of the asooke fabric which is not very comfortable for most people because some people complain of the fabric weight while some complain that it radiates heat or scratch their bodies but recently it seems there’s a change/shift as lots of gorgeous women now use complete asooke set for photoshoots like birthdays, wedding anniversaries and even church Thanksgiving.

I noticed that most people use the COTTON ASOOKE for the complete set because the cotton asooke is a breathable fabric and skin friendly. Also the mix of beautiful threads colors makes the cotton asooke stunning and gives this stunning cultural yet classy look.

Let’s see some beautiful women in super stunning colors and designs of asooke complete set. And by complete set, I mean the total outfit which is buba( top), iro (wrapper), ipele and gele (headtie):

What do you think about the complete asooke set rave? Will you be rocking it? What colour or design do you prefer?

Please share your thoughts in the comments

THEASOEBIJUNKIE WEEKEND SPOTLIGHT #thebashunion

Hello everyone,

Hope you are enjoying the long holiday if you are in Nigeria and Barka da Sallah to our Muslim community.

Today I’m bringing back your favourite series on this blog #theweekendspoltlight

This is actually the first one this year 🙈 ( check the last one HERE ) but over the weekend, a particular traditional wedding broke our timeline on different social media platforms with the hashtag #thebashunion and this triggered the need to bring back this series.

It was such a beautiful and colorful event with top celebrities and society ladies in attendance.

One striking thing about this wedding is that they didn’t choose any fabric as asoebi but they only made a uniform asooke for their party guests as asooke asoebi and it was beautiful.

Like I normally say here even though I’m a fabric vendor, when you want to choose asoebi always consider your guests. If a uniform gele be it #segogele or asooke will be perfect and affordable then it’s okay. You don’t have to use or sell fabrics as asoebi.

In this case , their party guests are high class ladies so money is not even a factor and most of these wealthy folks even give out asoebi for FREE. But it could be due to time frame because manufacturing and shipping fabrics in large quantity takes like a month to 6weeks that’s for air freight but asooke is made locally and it will be faster to get and distribute.

So choose whatever works for you and make it easy for your guests . You can choose affordable fabrics of great quality as asoebi or you can choose quality asooke gele or Sego gele for your asoebi or just pick a color code. Remember the most important thing is to have your guests honour you with their presence at your party.

Now let’s see the beautiful party guests we spotted at #thebashunion last weekend in their lemon green or Chartreuse color asooke gele asoebi:

First of the gorgeous couple ( Dara and Tosin) in all white looking super stunning

Then in their asooke traditional outfit ( Did you notice they are wearing different but complementary colors)

Now to the party guests in fabulous fabrics with the asooke :

Then some other party guests in different gorgeous designs without the asoebi gele but still caught our attention as they are spectacular in different colors also:

What do you think about #thebashunion traditional wedding? Share your thoughts in the comments section and will you use only asooke gele as asoebi for your party? Let me know why.

Cheers,

THEASOEBIJUNKIE STAR: OMOLARA

Hello everyone,

How are you all doing? Hope you’re preparing for our pop up shop that will be holding this weekend? It will be nice to meet my readers live at the Pop up shop. See more info HERE
Date: 2nd and 3rd of July 2016
Venue: Safat’s place – 12, Odunuga street off Osho street Opebi Lagos
Time: 10 am to 7pm

Back to today’s post, I am again excited to bring our Star bride to be to you in person of Miss Omolara.

Beautiful Omolara contacted us requesting for a beautiful and affordable fabric for her introduction ceremony which is a ‘pre-traditional  wedding’ ceremony in Nigeria where families of intending couples meet with each other to make plans for the wedding of their children. I must say its a big deal here!

So you know she has to look her best as she will be the cynosure of all eyes and will be meeting some of her groom’s extended family members for the first time.
We sent options to her as per fabrics, color and Accessories combinations. And she finally settled for the peach on peach with gold accessories which turned out so beautiful and elegant.
Her boo also got a cream fabric with the peach asooke and they both slayed!

Let’s see the evidence in pictures from the introduction ceremony:

Awesome pictures by Debola styles.

Again, I will like to say massive congratulations to Miss Omolara and her boo. Your home is blessed and your star will continue to shine. I love you!

Her mum also got a tulle lace from us.
Looking forward to styling you for your traditional wedding and friend’s Asoebi soon.

Cheers,

Modupe

P.s: Don’t forget to turn up at our pop up shop this weekend.

THEASOEBIJUNKIE STARS: ADEFUNMI2016

Hello everyone,

It is my delight to bring our amazing #theasoebijunkiestarcouple to you as they rocked theasoebijunkie asooke on their big day.

Our bride- Now Mrs Adeleke made it clear that she wanted a unique and gorgeous design of asooke for the traditional wedding and not the regular hand-cut buba but something easy breezy that will be airy and not so heavy.

So we decided to make a tiny interlace hand cut buba in champagne gold with patches of orange and neon green to represent her color theme with lots of blings scattered on it.
The wrapper was a plain champagne gold asooke but we also joined the tiny inter lace handcut to the lower part which turned out so beautiful.
Because the buba and wrapper had a burst of colors, we decided to tone it down with a plain white head-tie and ipele embellished with gold stones and pearls which the bride slayed stylishly on her big day.

The groom also looked regal in his  champagne gold agbada with white embroidery design and champagne gold cap.

Theasoebijunkie brand is so proud of the final outcome of the couple’s attire and we are grateful to be part of your big day!

Now let’s see the amazing pictures from Ripples Photography:

We once again wish the Adelekes a happy and Blissful marital life ahead. Their home is built on Christ the solid rock and amazing testimonies shall follow.
Thank you for trusting theasoebijunkie brand to style you on your big day.

Cheers,

THEASOEBIJUNKIE STARS #ADEOLU2016

Hello everyone, Its been a while!

Today post is about the exquisite and customised red/white tulle lace for the wedding of Adedoyin and Tobi Allen.

The groom’s Sister contacted us for a red/white and black theme Asoebi , so we sent in options and she finally choose one and made deposit for production.
But this was when the foreign exchange policy in Nigeria suddenly changed and sending money to our suppliers can be likened to the biblical pool of Bethsaida,Coupled with continuous rise in dollar rates and some other factors it was a bit challenging. But we pulled through by the grace of God and delivered the fabrics to our clients and their party guests slayed stylishly.

I am extremely grateful to the Allen’s for the opportunity to be part of their big day supplying Asoebi for 100 guests and more orders came in but we had to stop at 100 because of time constraint.
And particularly for their patience when we had delay in delivery due to circumstances beyond us.

The red/white and black color theme was so elegant and sexy!

Here are some of the pictures of part guests in the our beautiful red and white tulle lace embellished with stoned and pearls for your perusal:

And my humble self was also there in my own Asoebi *winks *

Once again, we would like to say huge congratulations to  Mr and Mrs Allen and pray that their home be continually filled with unspeakable joy and everlasting love in Jesus name Amen.
We are very grateful and we do appreciate your patronage.

Cheers,
Modupe

Theasoebijunkie stars : Ms Stephanie Cook

Hello everyone,
Welcome to the month of February!  And Valentine’s Day is almost here so you can now book for our annual Valentine fabric hampers . We have the male and female packages which will blow the minds of your loved ones as they will always remember you anytime they wear the fabrics.
To  order please call 08186961269, call/whatsapp 07033040834 or send a mail to theasoebijunkie@gmail.com.
P. S: We deliver within and outside of Lagos.

Back to today’s post,  Ms Stephanie Cook got our contact online and sent us a message on whatsapp requesting for two asoebi fabrics for a wedding in Enugu State.

She wanted a yellow fabric for a set of guests and another blue fabric for another set of guests.
We exchanged pictures and concluded on a yellow tulle fabric embellished with stones and pearls which is the same fabric in orange color for a wedding I posted earlier HERE
And then a tree inspired sequined tulle lace fabric in cobalt blue.
We got the fabric ready and sent to Enugu in December and also delivered to some people in Lagos.

The guests in yellow used a cobalt blue asooke as headtie while guests in blue had yellow onjawu asooke as headtie and they both looked elegant and  turned out pretty in different styles to grace the occasion.

Here are some of the pictures of our stars as they shine in both color combos :

A very big thank you to Ms Cook for trusting us and patronizing us.
We look forward to doing more business with you.
God bless you abundantly!

2016 COLORS

This year 2016 is definitely going to be a colorful year and Pantone has released some very unique colors that will make us stand out this year.

Am so in love with  these colors because they’re actually a breathe of fresh air for us in the fabrics /fashion business.
The teal, turquoise, coral, mint green etc are becoming too boring and have been used over and over again in the year 2015.

So if you are a 2016 bride or you have any event coming up this year like birthday, naming ceremony or burial ceremony of aged parents etc (because asoebi is not limited to weddings alone) you should check out these colors for your outfit and also for your guests.

The top ten colors are :
1. Snorkel blue
2. Peach Echo
3. Green splash
4. Rose quartz
5. Iced coffee
6. Lilac grey
7. Limpet shell
8. Serenity
9. Buttercup
10. Red fiesta

If you have issues in matching them together, don’t hesitate to contact us as we will gladly help to combine these colors when you order fabrics or  your asoebi but one very outstanding combination is the Rose quartz and Serenity.

Have a great weekend ahead.

Xoxo
