Japanese weddings, although very expensive, are also elegant and serene. If you\u2019re incorporating a Japanese theme into your wedding, here are some ways to achieve an authentic look at a fraction of the price.<\/p>\n

The Japanese theme begins with the bride\u2019s attire. Traditionally, a bride in Japan wears a white silk kimono, which (believe it or not) can cost up to $25,000 dollars. But a good seamstress can make a kimono from white silk for a lot less yen.<\/p>\n

In Japan, a groom wears a haori on the top and a hakama on the bottom, all in black. The bride changes into up to five different kimonos throughout the wedding day.<\/p>\n

Though it isn\u2019t required, some Japanese brides wear the traditional wig as part of their wedding attire, one that\u2019s heavily decorated in artificial flowers, gold combs and pearls. The wedding party also dresses in kimonos, usually in a color chosen by the bride.<\/p>\n
