She’s a Mrs. again, Porsha Williams! A Nigerian traditional native law and the custom ceremony was held at the Four Seasons Hotel Atlanta on Friday for the “Real Housewives of Atlanta” alum Porsha Williams and Simon Guobadia. The day was described as a “true fashion extravaganza” by Williams, who changed outfits three times. Her wedding dress was an over-the-top, deep red, princess-style gown with feathers and gold embellishments by designer Lakimmy, and her headpiece was a Benin coral beaded okuku. This is the same dress she accidentally showed over 2,000 of her Instagram followers earlier this month while live streaming.
The gowns Porsha Williams wore for the reception were both by Tabik, one in golden and one in royal blue. Many Bravolebrities attended the wedding and wore purple and teal traditional and formal attire inspired by Nigerian culture. Traditional Benin singers and dancers performed during the ceremony, which was led by representatives from each family. 57-year-old Simon Guobadia comes from the Nigerian city of Benin in the state of Edo. As the reception space was decorated with beautiful colours of browns and rose golds and tans and creams, Williams wanted attendees to feel as if they had gone on a trip to Benin.
