Bridalweddinggowns

The Western culture has influenced other continents as cooking culture, consumption idea, and even wedding fashion. However, many Asian brides still choose to wear an ensemble traditional to that of their culture. The five of the Asian countries stand out!

China

In northern China, the traditional wedding dress is called the Qi Pao, which is a one-piece dress elaborately embroidered with gold and silver designs. Brides in southern China traditionally wear a two piece dress called a Cheongsam, which is also embroidered, often with a golden phoenix and dragon. The dragon and phoenix symbolize the balance of male and female power. Many wedding dresses are red because the color is considered a strong color that brings good luck and drives away evil spirits.

Japan

In Japan, a bride will dress in a traditional white Japanese wedding kimono called a shiro-maku. This white kimono is worn for the wedding ceremony and another, more colorful kimono is worn over the shiro-maku for the reception. Brides also wear a white wedding hood to signify serenity and patience. Japanese brides carry a small purse (hakoseko), a sheathed dagger (kaiken) and a traditional Japanese fan in the obi belt.

Vietnam

A Vietnamese bride will wear a red (or bright pink) and yellow ao dai (long dress), embroidered with bright yellow patterns that symbolize happiness and prosperity. An outer robe is often worn to create a formal look. The collar, cuff or back are trimmed with the couples’ names or lovely images. Brides wear a matching headpiece that is often made of woven dried leaves. Vietnamese brides often change their dress up to four times during the wedding festivities.

India

In India, the traditional dress worn by the bride is a sari, often in the color red to ward off evil spirits. Wealthy families embroider the bridal gown with gold thread and stitch precious stones into the sari. Some brides in India wear a long red skirt called a lengha with extravagant embroidery paired with a short blouse (also embroidered). Traditionally Indian brides wear a veil that matches their gown.

Korea

Traditional Korean bridal gowns consist of an elaborately embroidered and layered gown with a red skirt and yellow jacket symbolizing joy and life. The short jacket with sleeves is called a chogori. It has two long ribbons that tie, making the otkorum (traditional tie found on Korean garb). The long skirt, or chima, is high-waisted and wraps around the body. Brides traditionally wear boat-shaped shoes made of silk.

As the traditional practices, the wedding veils are never lost in modern weddings. Why? Let’s look at the history of wedding veils. The ancient Romans used wedding veils to protect a bride from evil spirits, while in medieval times it symbolized the female’s purity and chastity. Wedding veils may have been invented because of arranged marriages, so that the groom could not see the bride’s face until after the ceremony was completed and the marriage finalized.

After choosing a wedding veil, how to wear it? Here are some steps for you:

• Hold the comb upside down with the teeth of the comb angled towards the front of your head. Keep all the tulle from the veil pulled backwards and out of the way.
• Push the comb into your hair and then rotate it backwards so the concave part of the comb is now facing downwards.
• Slide the comb into your hair until it feels secure. Smooth out the tulle on the veil. If you’re wearing part of the veil over your face, make sure the blusher, the shorter tulle layer, lays out nicely on top.
• Insert your tiara in front of the veil at a 45 degree angle. Adjust the tiara backwards toward the veil eliminating any gap between the two.
• Secure the ends of the tiara with bobby pins. Cover the plain metal bands of the tiara with your hair. The only visible part of the veil should be the embellishment.

It’s not only the bride who would like to look great in a wedding. Let’s be honest, ladies, how many excuses do you find these days to wear a really special outfit? When you are invited to one of the many spring and summer weddings this year, treat yourself to a really chic ensemble.

How to get the proper wedding guest dresses? Here are a few guidelines for you:

Men  Outfits

Men can wear dress slacks, shirt, tie and jacket to many weddings and be considered appropriately dressed. Formal events might call for black tie attire, while a summer wedding in the park may call for garden party attire for men. Men will look smart and fashionable in a tan tuxedo at a formal beach wedding, while a printed silk shirt and khakis are fantastic for a casual beach affair.

Women Outfits

Women need to make sure they are dressy and comfortable while attending a wedding. Wearing hosiery at informal weddings, especially in the summer, is optional. In the winter, a sharp Pashmina or bolero jacket can help keep shoulders warm in a shoulder baring dress.

To avoid looking like the wedding party, women should not wear white to a wedding. Wearing a previous bridesmaid dress is perfectly for a formal or black-tie wedding. However, if the dress is similar in color to the wedding colors, select a different dress. Wearing black to a wedding used to be a fashion faux pas, but today can end up being the most stunning evening dress.

Women often wonder what to wear to a beach wedding. A formal event calls for a special event dress, while a simple summer dress is usually fine for an informal wedding.

Children  Attire

Children under 10 years old could dress less formally than adults can at a formal wedding. Couples and other guests understand that stiff jackets and itchy dresses can make fussy and upset children. Have children at weddings change from a formal suit or dress into more casual dress slacks and shirt or simple dress sheath for the reception, allowing them to dance enjoy yourself.

Follow these suggestions, and choose the right wedding guest wear.
