Knowing Chinese Wedding Dress

When we heard about Chinese wedding dress, the first thing that comes up in our mind is a one-piece dress in red with gold embroidery. This is called Qi Pao and this has been the very old wedding dress of Chinese bride. We are also familiar that red is the main color of this country’s tradition. But these days, lots of Chinese wedding dress is in white colors just like other common wedding dresses.

However, most Chinese brides are willing to maintain the tradition of wearing the traditional Chinese wedding dress. Red color that is being the symbol of luck is an absolute. The embroidery is sometimes in abstract though some are forming silhouette of golden dragon.

There are no accessories for brides to be when wearing Chinese wedding dress. This is because the dress itself has already too much embroidery in gold. Some brides prefer to wear red veil but others only count on the beauty of the dress to reveal the brides’ skin complexion. Surely wedding theme for almost all Chinese wedding is the traditional one including the famous dancing dragon called Barongsai.

Traditional adornments include satin lace in a fitted bodice dress along with the embroidery. Beadwork is also excellent and adding the charm of the dress. Surely, all traditional Chinese wedding dress is always long with sleeves. But some designers have created modern style such as sleeveless, yet still, long dress with low lines.

A bride can choose a gown with looking like a bell-shaped skirt with a modern fitting or lace made using satin and decorated with beautiful frills. Select long Chinese wedding dresses with mind-blowing decorations made of flower patterns. Some can add up to the dress’s beauty.

When deciding to have Chinese wedding dress, you can go to any bridal store both on department stores or online stores. It will be better if you choose it yourself and have it fitted rather than choosing one online. Purchasing wedding dress online can take time for you in fitting it.
