A Guide to Choosing Your Ruracio Outfit

Ideas for choosing a ruracio outfit: colour, fabric, silhouette and how to coordinate with your family and wedding party.

Begin with colour and story

Ruracio is a celebration of family and culture. Many couples choose a colour palette first, then build outfits for the bride, groom and families around it.

Choose a silhouette you can move in

A mermaid, A-line or wrap shape each photographs differently. Think about how long you will be on your feet, greeting guests and dancing, and choose a cut that keeps you comfortable.

Mix tradition with your own style

African prints, beadwork and modern tailoring can sit together beautifully. Share the look you love and we will help refine it.

Coordinate the whole party

Matching accents across the couple, parents and bridesmaids make photographs feel intentional. Mfalme by LoLo can dress the groom and gentlemen to complement the bride.
