Real Brides' Colorful Uchikake, Aren't You Curious? ♡
Recently, while viewing wedding receptions and pre-wedding shoots on Instagram, I've noticed many brides wearing traditional Japanese attire, such as colorful uchikake. And every bride looks absolutely stunning! While the white muku is elegant and beautiful, the colorful uchikake has a vibrant, festive quality that looks great in photographs. The appeal of the white muku is that it can be paired with a wataboshi (cotton hood), but with colorful uchikake, brides can enjoy various hair arrangements, allowing for personal expression, which is another popular point!*
However, some may wonder if traditional attire suits them! So this time, I will introduce various real brides' colorful uchikake styles found on Instagram, categorized by color. As you look through, think about what designs might suit you!

Red is a staple color in traditional attire, be it kimono, furisode, or uchikake. It beautifully enhances a bride's appearance, making her look more vibrant and stunning! The red fabric adorned with gold and white flowers, along with auspicious cranes embroidered on it, creates a truly festive design that suits Japanese women perfectly!♡
