Here is anothor psot about japanses the culture laungaufge and clothing.
Here is some history of the standard kimono and the Weddding Kimono
Kimon the Japanse wedding dress
Kimono is the symbol of Japan. It is worn by Japanese in many occassion and festivals. And one of that is bridal kimono use for weddings. The kimono, the ultimate eco-friendly garment which is handmade and passed down through the generations, transcends the ethnic and cultural barriers of its native Japan and fusion-style formal wear that marries modernity and tradition.
During the Meiji period (1868-1912), Japan was heavily influenced by foreign cultures. The government encouraged people to adopt Western clothing and habits. Government officials and military personnel were required by law to wear Western clothing for official functions. (That law is no longer in effect today.) For ordinary citizens, wearing kimonos on formal occasions were required to use garments decorated with the wearer's family crest, which identified his or her family background.
