DRESS THE WHITE WDDING KIMONO this is called the shiro-maku. Quote: A white wedding hood called a tsuno-kakushi literally meaning "to hide horns" is worn during the ceremony indicating that she will carry out her role as a wife with patience and serenity. Like American weddings, there are traditional wedding accessories that are worn for tradition and are said to bring good luck. The bride carries a small purse style sack called hakoseko and a small encased sword called kaiken. Lastly, a fan is worn in the obi belt for tradition holds that the gradual widening of the open fan implies happiness and thus brings a happy future.

Quote: Groom's Wedding Kimono The traditional Japanese wedding kimono worn by men is a combination of a montsuki kimono and a short haori overcoat with pleated hakama pants. Montsuki kimono are used for ceremonies and special occasions which bears the family crest on both the front and back of the kimono. The kimono is full length and is tucked into the hakama pants. A matching haori overcoat is then worn over the kimono to complete the attire. The traditional color of the kimono is black with white crests, however today they are available from beautiful shades of purple to exquisite earth tones. Hakama is an outer garment worn over a full length kimono that are split between the legs like pants. Hakama pants originated as an outer garment to protect samurai warriors legs from brush when riding a horse. Today, the hakama is worn as formal attire for japanese wedding ceremonies, dances, martial arts and by artists. The japanese pants are made of either cotton, rayon or a polyester blend. The traditional color of the hakama is black, gray or brown with white pinstripe. Today however, the pants are available in many colors from purple to blue and even graduating shades of color.
