Kyrgyzstan
Traditional wedding attire in Kyrgyzstan is characterized by its layers and exoticism. The bride typically wears a “jente” or “kyz zhuu,” a long gown with intricate embroidery that can be multi-layered. The color is usually white or light, symbolizing purity and innocence. The groom wears a “chapana,” a traditional men’s outfit, often made from silk or satin, with its own embroidery and decor.
