| Wedding Gowns By Rosa Clara |
I had different visions of it throughout the years,trying to imagine it and visualize it ,I always used to sketch puffy dresses even when i started working as a jewelry designer you could always find wedding dresses on my sketch books and my mood boards.
of course most of us thinks Big Day means white dress ,I thought so until January 2008 when i went to India to attend one of my very close friend's wedding
when she was showing me her wedding dress it was an extravagant golden beaded but vivid red maroon color
To my surprise I asked her isn't wedding dress should be white ,she said no for us it should be colored
this is a how i realized that a white dream for me might not be white for other girls ,it might be Red ,blue ,colorful ,well any color you can imagine
This is how i knew that the color ,style and the ceremonial importance of the gown really depends of different cultures and religion
India
The traditional wedding attire usually consist of Saris or Gahagra's in Red and white ,of course here we are talking cultural because the wedding dress can depend also from religion point of view it can be different it color so the red color here symbolize fertility ,wealth and purity ,in the leading days up to the ceremony the bride's hands and feet are painted with henna ,this decoration is called mehendi which we will also find in different cultures
Ireland
In Ireland ,the brides often wears dresses in Blue or white with blue ,because this color is considered as a lucky color
Scotland
A traditional Scottish wedding dress features tartan ,in ribbons trimming a white dress ,in a shawl around the shoulders or in a sash around the waist 
Africa
The African bridal dress are made of bright cheerful colors including a hear piece called a gele
Japan
In Japan the Bride wears colorful a Kimono
The most essential element for Chinese wedding attire and decorations is the color Red ,it symbolize the good luck ,safety ,wealth and protection from the bad spirits.
Of course I only spoke about couple of countries ,but there are lots of different countries with different bridal Gown traditions and colors around the world , that I will speak about in upcoming posts so stay tunes :)
that is a very interesting post Maria, will be looking forward to see the next ones :)
