[SENU said｜Japanese Marriage Culture] Why are Japanese weddings pure white? The meaning behind "flower marriage"

Girls who grew up watching Japanese TV dramas have fantasized about getting married in Japan and wearing Shiro Mugou for a traditional Japanese wedding. Although the editor has no chance to get married in Japan, just looking at Japanese marriage culture can satisfy my wish. Now let us learn about the little knowledge of Japanese marriage.

"花婚" (はなよめ) means that the bride is like marrying when the flowers are in full bloom

The word "花婚" はなよめ refers to a bride. It is written in Chinese characters as "花婚", which means that a woman like a flower is at the most blooming moment in her life and marries at the best moment. There is another saying that "flower" has the meaning of "new" in Japanese culture. To show respect for the newly joined lady, the husband's family will cover the entrance road with flowers to welcome the new bride.

The son-in-law of the flower refers to the groom, which literally means "the son-in-law of the flower", full of strong Japanese romantic sentiment. During the wedding, the son-in-law of the flower will attend the wedding with the bride and complete the ceremony of exchanging wedding rings and handing over glasses of wine, which symbolizes the union of the two and the consummation of love.

In Japan, whether it is a traditional Japanese wedding or a Western-style wedding, there is one thing in common: the bride hopes to wear a beautiful white wedding dress to complete the once-in-a-lifetime wedding. For weddings, the most representative wedding kimono is Shiro Mugou, which is completely pure white. From underwear to outerwear and headgear, it is all white. However, in recent years, for the sake of photo effect, some Shiro Mugou will use milky white. , or add red.

White represents the sun in Japan and symbolizes the sacred

Why is it pure white?
Since the ancient Muromachi period, white represents the color of the sun and is a sacred color. . A bride dressed in white represents a pure and clean body and mind, ready to take on the color of her husband's family after marriage and serve her husband's family wholeheartedly. However, with the changes of the times and the improvement of women's status, the meaning of white has also changed. It can mean letting go of all the bad things in the past and starting a new page in life.
