different dresses for different ethnic groups.

When looking around the world at everyone’s traditions, we all know that everyone does things differently. Every ethnic group has their own tradition values, and ways that they dress. Have you ever wondered what other ethnic group’s weddings look like? Some are much like ours, but some are completely different. Some have one, two, three, or possibly four different dresses for their wedding. Some have a whole weekend celebration and other have a one-day event. No matter where you live or what ethnicity you come from, there is no question about your wedding to be beautiful. I have posted some pictures of some wedding dresses that have descriptions as to what they mean. I hope you enjoy learning from all around the world!
China: you see dresses that are red because they symbolize that with good luck and it is strong color that can keep away evil spirits.
Japanese: Wear a traditional white kimono called chrio-maku for the wedding ceremony. Then for the reception, usually an elaborate pattered silk kimono called uchikke that is worn over the white kimono.
African: These brides wear a headpiece called “gele” a shaw called “iborum” a loose blouse called “buba” and a skirt that wraps around the body called “iro”.     
Scottish: Composed of kilts, jackets, sporrans, vests, and hoses.
Spanish: Slim dress covered by a bolero or a flamerco-style jacket.
 
For these pictures, I found the at www.google.com. I researched about all of the different ethnicities and found pictures that went along with the article that I read.
