Asian wedding dresses are gaining such popularity that they are available in any style you want, modern or traditional. Choosing to wear an Asian wedding dress, if it is a nod to your heritage or simply because you love the design, brings a little intrigue of the Orient to your big day.
Traditionally, Asian brides where or incorporate red into their wedding dress, as red is a symbol of good luck. In Japan, brides wear a white kimono that is lined with red whereas in China and India, brides where traditional dresses of red. Chinese brides wear red silk embroidered with gold or silver. And Indian bride's sari is also embroidered with gold, but also includes detailed beading.
To interpret any of these Asian styles would be to include red on your Asian bridal wear through embroidery, a sash around the waist of your gown, or a red wrap. You can wear a traditional Asian gown for the ceremony and change into a more modern style for the reception. Many gown retailers will have Asian inspired gowns. For a true, authentic gown you can travel to find yours. If a trip to the Orient isn't in your budget, many large cities have traditional dress stores in which you may find your dress.
