Japan
Wedding attire in Japan is known for its elegance and symbolism. The bride often wears a “uchikake,” which is a long kimono with intricate designs, usually placed along the hem. This kimono symbolizes a new beginning in the bride’s life and her desire to be adorned for her future husband. The groom wears a “hakama,” a traditional men’s outfit with its own unique symbolism.
