Western bride
bride
A woman getting married in a wedding ceremony.
Bridalwear differs across cultures. Usually a bride in a western wedding wears a long white wedding dress, a bridal veil, and carries a bouquet of flowers. A Japanese bride wears a shiromuku (a white kimono with red trim), a wataboushi (a white hood), and may carry accessories tucked into their kimono, such as a folding fan, a hakoseko (a wallet), and a futokorogatana ("chest sword", a small dagger held in a purse).
