Yes, in fact, most Chinese brides wear white wedding dresses. Some however like to change into a more traditional dress later in the evening.
White dress
Not really. If it was a traditional wedding, where the bride family is traditional and she wears red, wearing white is unlucky. As white is the colour for Chinese funeral. And in a modern wedding, the bride will probably wear white. So....pick another outfit, it's their day..
The traditional bride's dress is a red Qipao which is a formal silk dress. Most modern day Chinese brides will pick out three different dresses. They will purchase a red Quipao, a Western style white wedding dress and also a formal gown.
No, because white is the bride's color......just like you wouldn't want someone to go to your wedding looking better than you, wearing white to a wedding says the same thing to the bride. Unless the one of wedding colors is white or the bride speficially ask you to wear white.....DON'T DO IT!?!
That depends on the type of wedding she's having.
Yes, the only person who wears white is the bride.
It used to be, but now it means the bride can buy an expensive dress!
* Etiquette dictates that the only person at a wedding wearing white should be the bride and she is the center of attention. You could wear a white/blue dress or white/black dress, but not a full white dress.
In European culture, white is the colour of purity, indicating the bride is a virgin.
It is not etiquette to wear off white to a wedding as the bride is suppose to be the center of attention. A light tan or light peach colored dress is appropriate. Even though off-white is not as white as the bride's wedding dress it's poor etiquette.
If the wedding dress is white it means that the bride is pure. It was from a time when sex before marriage was wrong and so a bride should be virgin until after her wedding when she could then engage in sexual acts with her husband... hope this helped.
Gold Dresses Are okay for a Wedding. Just don't wear white. That's only for the bride!
