#5
Japanese Bride

Kyoto

During the wedding ceremony, her face is framed by the traditional Japanese bridal hood, called 'tsunekakushi' in Japanese, meaning 'cover hiding the horns' which each woman is said to be hiding until the wedding ceremony is over. LOL

Red and white are colors used for celebration in Japan. Shrines are often decorated with large pieces of red-and-white striped cloth. Also traditional Shinto weddings use these colors for the brides - the grooms wear black kimonos - formal wear just like the tuxedoes in the West.
