Bridal fashion around the world: these are the traditional wedding dresses in various countries

The world is a melting pot of traditions and cultures, and when it comes to weddings, it is no different. We take you on a journey through the diversity and beauty of wedding attire.

The radiance of global traditions

The Far East

In the wedding outfits of various cultures in the Far East, we see a palette of vibrant colors. Consider the traditional red lehengas from India, symbolic of prosperity and love, or the graceful Hanbok in Korea, whose elegance emphasizes the importance of family and heritage.

Turkish culture

At Turkish weddings, it's the details that highlight the rich cultural heritage. The ceremonies often begin with the 'kina gecesi' or henna night, an intimate gathering where the bride-to-be, accompanied by traditional songs, adorns her hands with henna. This ritual symbolizes fertility and happiness. On the wedding day, Turkish brides often wear a red veil, an ancient tradition that brings protection and good fortune.

African splendor

African weddings display an explosion of color, with brides and grooms often wearing matching prints, a symbol of their unity. The robes are often handmade and tell the stories of communities; a patchwork of culture and tradition.

In America, we see a mix of these worlds coming together, while many stick to the classic white wedding dress, others add a twist to their day with influences from their cultural background, creating a hybrid that reflects the melting pot of their nation.
