Is there anything particular about the color of the wedding dress?

The color of the wedding dress is exquisite, mainly white and red, but nowadays people are more pursuing individuality and freedom, preferring to do what they want, and don't want to be bound by some customs in the past.

Recently, a bride in Zaozhuang, Shandong Province wore a pink wedding dress, which caused great controversy among netizens. The bride said that she likes pink and anime. It took her half a month to make this wedding dress through her own drawing and design. She likes it very much and doesn't care what others say.

In fact, many young people have given up the practice of the older generation. They decide their own wedding and arrange it at will. I think that's the most important thing as long as they like it in their hearts. After all, such an important day of marriage is related to their lives, and they don't have to listen to other people's arrangements too much. If you want to talk about marriage, there is. Let's briefly talk about the meanings of several common wedding colors:

White wedding dress. It represents purity, innocence and simplicity, and symbolizes purity and loyalty to love. This is a popular color system and the most common one.

Red wedding dress. This is our traditional wedding dress in China, symbolizing joy, auspiciousness and celebration.

Pink wedding dress. It means warm and lovely, giving people a feeling of loveliness and youth.

Black wedding dress. Mysterious and solemn, but few people will choose a black wedding dress on the wedding day, and taking wedding photos is more common.

But in fact, the colors of these wedding dresses are all right, but according to our traditional customs, the red wedding dress is the most auspicious. The rockhopper gown, a bright red color, became popular in the Tang Dynasty and converged a lot in the Song Dynasty. Red is a symbol of men's strength, while turquoise is a representative of women's noble glory. We can see that one from the play "You know it should be green, fat, red and thin" starring Zhao. Only concubines can wear pink or rose. In the play, Lin Xiaoniang always likes to wear clothes of this color, so everyone will have some prejudice against pink, but it has little to do with this play, but it just reflects the epitome of an era. From the Ming Dynasty, Fengguan was officially popular in summer, and cheongsam appeared in the late Qing Dynasty. Then in the Republic of China, we gradually began to accept western culture, and suits and white wedding dresses became popular and have been in use ever since.

The red dress represents the inheritance of our past cultural customs, while the white wedding dress represents that we keep pace with the times and follow the development of the times. Therefore, when getting married, many people adopt a combination of Chinese and western styles, including white wedding dresses, red cheongsam or He Xiu dresses. Few people usually choose a black wedding dress. In the eyes of most people, it is unlucky to wear black on the wedding day. Everyone looks depressed, but some people think it is cool. However, due to the secular vision, they will still choose decent clothes. Pink wedding dresses are also rarely chosen. First of all, they think this is the color they wore after their second marriage. Secondly, pink gives people a childish feeling, and it is difficult to keep this color. Usually I don't even like to wear pink clothes.

No matter what color the wedding dress is, what you like is the most important thing. It is the most romantic thing to put on your favorite wedding dress and marry the person you love the most. The color of the wedding dress does not mean anything. The key is how two people will live in the future.
