Modern Japanese Wedding Gowns

Let’s go back  years ago where everything is traditional and safe. If you had a wedding in Japan then, you’d probably worn something like this:

“Shiro-muku is the name of the traditional white Japanese wedding kimono worn during the past years– “Shiro” means white and “muku” means pure. Usually reserved for young, unmarried women, the “shiro-muku” is the last time that the woman will be able to wear it.

Nowadays where everything is modern and flashy, wedding fashion has truly evolved into something entirely different but still beautiful. Modern Japanese brides now have the option to not wear traditional kimonos and just choose a wedding gown with a Japanese motif or feel to it.

The following wedding gowns are just like your typical white gowns except for their contrasting red accents:

This Cherry Blossom Kimono Wedding is elegant and absolutely exudes that Japanese feel.

I love this Obi Wedding Gown simply because of the mixture of white, red and other colors. The tiny kimono pillow at the back is just what’s lacking, no?

But this large ribbon will do!

Japanese people are well-known for their flamboyant and outrageous fashion statements. If you are a bride who want people to stare (or even point fingers), these wedding gowns are for you:

Oh! These origami necklace and earrings would make the perfect wedding accessories!
