Believe it or not, this is from the Wedding Lily dress-up game: www.dolldivine.com/wedding-lil… . This game doesn't just cover Western wedding gowns, it shows wedding costume from around the world! I think it's pretty cool, especially since Japanese weddings are pretty interesting, especially today. I don't know if white was always worn by the bride in every part of Japanese history, (since white is normally a mourning color in the Far East) but this type of costume can sometimes be seen on Japanese brides today if they want to go the traditional route. Sometimes the outer robe for the bride is very colorful. And yes, the hat is essential.

I remember once reading that a modern Japanese wedding can go in 3 stages: 1 - the bride & groom wear wedding kimonos and do the traditional ceremony; 2 - they then change into a modern white gown & tux and perform a Western ceremony; and 3 - the bride changes into a fancy modern gown for the reception. I don't know if all Japanese do this for their weddings, but I know some include at least 1 or 2 of these rituals when they tie the knot.
