What do traditional wedding dresses look like around the world? When the word applies to a wedding dress, the first thing that comes to mind is a white wedding dress. But if this question were asked in another part of the world, people would describe it quite differently. Although, for the sake of movies and tradition, we in the Western world are filled with the feeling that wedding dresses are traditionally white, this is far from the case. Each nation has its own traditions and some of them are successfully nurtured, while many cultures have adopted the traditional Western "white wedding", where the bride wears a white wedding dress and a veil. This is far from being (was) the traditional bride in India, Ghana, Mongolia, Hungary, Japan, Norway... even in Scotland, the wedding dress is completely different from the one usually worn by a Slovenian bride.
