Row 1
Indian brides are often draped in gilded jewelry and an embellished red dress called a lengha choli, with a matching shawl.   Hands are artfully covered with henna designs.    More Indian wedding ideas

African brides are regal in traditional wedding attire made of aso oke (a handwoven fabric reserved for special occasions).   Here, the bride wears a gele headwrap and an ancestral beaded necklace.

Row 2
The Korean bride is a vision in bright colors in a won-sam and a hanbok.    A jeweled crown and yeon ji (colored dots on cheeks said to keep bad spirits away) complete the look.

The traditional dress of the Spanish bride includes a lace mantilla veil draped over a tall comb.    The bouquet of choice?    Vibrant red roses.
