Wedding Around the World Part 1: Japan ♡

First, let's start from Japan, where we live ♩ Traditional wedding styles like "Shinto ceremony," "Buddhist ceremony," and the classic wedding called "Shuugen" are still beloved today as "Wakon" ♡

The traditional bridal attire of Japan, such as "Shiromuku," "Irouchikake," and "Hiki-furisode," is very appealing. It seems that many brides who finish a Shinto ceremony in a Shiromuku with a "wataboushi" then opt for an "Irouchikake + Western hairstyle" style for their party ♡

Wedding Around the World Part 2: China ♡

In China, auspicious wedding dates are generally favored to be days that have the number 8 in them, and the entry time for the bride and groom is also set to a time that includes 8 ♡ The flow of "ceremony → reception" is similar to Japan and Korea, but there isn't a fixed format, and it seems to resemble a dinner party ♩

Additionally, in China, couples take quite a lot of wedding photos before the ceremony ♡ They have a wide variety of outfits, from wedding dresses to Cheongsams and evening dresses, and after marriage, they usually display their photos as panels in their new home ♡

"First look" or "first meet," where the bride shows her wedding dress to the groom for the first time, is also a common tradition in Western countries like America ♩ This touching moment has become a topic of conversation, and recently, more couples in Japan are incorporating it into their weddings ♡

Wedding Around the World Part 4: Thailand ♡

Traditionally, Thai weddings are not related to religion; however, they often invite monks to bless the couple during celebrations ♡

The monk wraps a single white thread called "sangsee" around the heads of the bride and groom and splashes "sacred water" on their hands ♡ The "sangsee" symbolizes their destined connection, and the "sacred water" carries the wish for a pure married life ♡

In India, brides often have body paint called "Henna tattoos" made from plant-derived henna ink applied during celebrations ♡ It fades over time, so it can also be enjoyed as a fashion statement in Japan ♡
