Hido Iyo Dhaqan Dresses

Hido iyo dhaqan: literally translates to tradition and culture. It refers to the traditional customs, values, and practices that define the identity and way of life of the Somali people.

Brides wear Hido iyo Dhaqan dresses on their wedding day to honor Somali cultural heritage and connect with tradition. The attire reflects modesty, dignity, and respect for ancestral customs, incorporating traditional fabrics and designs that celebrate the bride’s identity and family. Wearing these dresses not only preserves cultural continuity but also symbolises a deep link between the past and present, marking the bride’s new chapter in marriage while proudly showcasing her Somali roots.

We aim for every bride to feel truly stunning and one-of-a-kind on her special day, while seamlessly incorporating the traditional prints of our rich culture into their bridal gowns.

There are a range of different hido iyo dhaqan prints available to order. We also have some ready made hido iyo dhaqan dresses available. Alternatively we can make you a bespoke dress.
