Wedding

The number of Western-style weddings has been increasing, but there are still many couples who wish to have a traditional Shinto-style wedding wearing a kimono. The bride changes from a wedding dress into a kimono at the wedding reception. Normally, the bride wears a gorgeous, colorful kimono, and the mothers of the bride and bridegroom wear a kurotomesode (black formal kimono) decorated beautifully at the bottom. Kurotomesode is the formal attire for married women.
