Asian Wedding Dresses Reflect Their Country's Beauty and Culture

Here is part 2 of my look at traditional Asian wedding dresses; you can find part 1 on Ezine, too. I continue to marvel at the individual beauty, richness and tradition of each Asian country's wedding attire and have learned so much while researching these magnificent wedding traditional dresses and headdresses.
Indian Wedding Dresses
These dresses reflect the Indian culture and are bright in color with a lot of embroidery and beadwork in intricate Indian patterns.
The majority of the Indian brides wear some type of headpiece that has jewels coming to a point in the middle of the forehead. They sometimes include a head veil that does not cover the face. It is simply worn over the bride's head and is of a thinner, sheer fabric.
White Wedding Abaya
A number of countries in Asia are Muslim and the wedding dress is an abaya.
You could describe this as a long flowing robe and is most often in white to signify purity.
It must be noted that not all Muslim brides in Asia would wear white abaya's and in those countries Henna is traditional for the Indian bride.
Del
There are 2 kinds of important wedding ceremonies in Mongolia.
One of them is the traditional wedding ceremony where the couples wear traditional clothes called "Del". The Del is made from cotton and silk with patterns. Another kind of wedding ceremony is the modern wedding ceremony; the bride wears a white gown.
