What color uchikake should I wear...? ♡
Since I'm Japanese, I definitely want to have a traditional wedding and take pre-wedding photos in a kimono ♡ It’s tough to decide what color uchikake to choose, isn’t it?*
This time, I will introduce cute uchikake in different colors that would be great for a traditional wedding♡
Uchikake ① Red
A red uchikake is the most popular choice for brides-to-be ♡ Red is a color that instantly attracts attention, making it perfect for the bride who is the main character*
In the past, red was considered a "forbidden color" and could only be worn by those of high status* Thus, a red uchikake conveys elegance and will leave a good impression on older guests♡
For those who love the idea of something blue despite wearing traditional attire, light blue is a popular choice ♡ It’s especially gaining popularity lately as a color that allows for individuality♡
The charm of a green uchikake lies in how its appearance changes with the color's depth ♡ For instance, a "uguisu color," like in this photo, gives a soft and calm adult image ♩
If you want to wear a cute uchikake for your color change, a pink uchikake is definitely the choice ♡ Peach color complements Japanese skin tones and brightens the face*
The peach color evokes the image of spring cherry blossoms, making it especially recommended for spring weddings ♡ It is widely supported by women as a color that symbolizes "love," "affection," and "romance"*
Wearing a pink uchikake can create a bright, lovable woman image ♡ While pink comes in various shades, a lighter pink generally suits Japanese skin tones best*
Understand the meanings and atmosphere of colors to choose your uchikake ♡
How was that? The impression and meanings vary greatly depending on the color* While imagining what kind of bride you want to be, please search for your destined uchikake ♡
