Japanese wedding and bridal wedding dresses


A modern Japanese wedding can take place in a variety of scenarios, but we will consider an option where the traditions of the past are intertwined with the present. The ceremony consists of several stages. The religious ceremony includes elements of Buddhist, Shinto and Christian wedding ceremonies. Previously, these ceremonies were held at the groom's house, but today such events are more often held in modern wedding halls.

Each step of the participants in the wedding ceremony is strictly regulated. The groom is dressed in a casual hakama wedding dress - formal attire with family crests, if any. The bride is wearing a white kimono made of heavy, dense fabric and a white silk headscarf with a red tsunokakusi lining.

According to old traditions, the bride and groom change their wedding dress several times during the celebration. Each shift is accompanied by a special ritual, the splendor and details of which depend on the financial capabilities of the newlyweds and their parents.

It was here that the "golden mean" was found between the past and the present. First, the bride is dressed in white, then in a colored kimono. In the end, the bride appears in wedding dress European cut... During the ceremony, the newlyweds take three small sips from three cups of specially prepared sake and take an oath of allegiance to each other.

Relatives take part in the wedding ceremony, and a matchmaker - nakodo is always present. In the past, when matchmaking marriages were the norm, the matchmaker introduced the young and helped with the wedding preparations. Now the role of the nakodo is symbolic.

After the traditional wedding ceremony, the bride and groom arrange a gala reception for friends, relatives and acquaintances. The young family then receives gifts, which are often presented in the form of money.
