Married in Kanazawa Kenrokuen Japanese Gardent. If a Japanese couple decides to have a Shinto ceremony, the groom will wear the formal kimono-hakama-haori ensemble and the bride will wear white, including: -a white shiro-kakeshita kimono (like the shiromuku but lighter weight with a smaller padding at the hem), tied with a white obi-a white shiromuku kimono, worn open (without an obi), with a thick padding at the hem.  Traditionally this is made with white, ivory or cream tone-on-tone jacquard silk.  Modern versions might have a subtle trim color at the hem or an iridescence in the fabric, and common motifs are cranes, pine, peacocks, noshi ribbons, dowry carts, and fans. -a white tsunokakushi, which is a wide, white headdress or  hood which covers her elaborate wig or hairstyle.  Tsuno means "horns" and the headpiece represents a covering of any "horns of jealousy" a bride might have, so that she may enter her new home with openness and obedience.

for the fave on Kanzashi on BrideThis photo was taken on Miajima Island off the coast of Hiroshima, Japan.  The Island itself is considered a god and is very holy and peaceful.  She is wearing kanzashi on her head that decorate the hair of a Japanese bride. Kanzashi are hair ornaments used in traditional Japanese hairstyles but the term can also be used to refer to “folded fabric hair ornaments.”  I'm happy you think it's beautiful.
