If you are a lover of African culture like we are, then you will absolutely adore this post about Ghanaian Kente weddings!Ā  For starters, the Kente is a colorful ceremonial cloth from Ghana that is hand-woven on a loom. It is original to the Asante people and is worn during very important social and religious occasions. Specifically, four inch strips are sewn together into larger pieces of cloth. The end result is a brilliant, colorful and intricate design. Undoubtedly, this has definitely made the Kente fabric the best known of all Ghanaian textiles. In fact, many now refer to the Kente as the traditional cloth of Ghana.
