We love a good princess wedding dress on Save the Date: Here’s a German princess in a wedding dress covered in golden roses and a Belgian princess (whose prince looks like Orlando Bloom!) in a more traditional wedding gown. Today we’re traveling to Japan, where Princess Noriko, daughter of the late Prince Takamado, and Kunimaro Senge, the eldest son of the chief priest of the Izumo grand shrine, were married over the weekend. Both wore traditional ancient Japanese formal wedding clothes. And it’s breathtaking.
Obviously there’s a lot of pageantry involved in an American wedding, but this is such a visual feast. I love it.
This is what the princess wore to formally report her engagement in September. That’s her on the left, and her mom in the peplum dress on the right.
Will you wear anything on your wedding day that’s tied to your culture?
I die every time I see pictures of my friend Madhu in her hot-pink wedding sari. And my friend Heidi wore a traditional Korean wedding outfit for a small ceremony during her wedding. (And a strapless white Jim Hjelm wedding dress for the rest!)
