Wardrobe Change
In
modern China, brides pick not one wedding dress, but three. First,
there's the traditional qipao or cheongsam, an embroidered, slim-fitting
frock that's usually made red for weddings, because red is a strong,
lucky color in Chinese culture. Next, the bride might swap into a white
poufed ball gown that wouldn't look out of place at an American wedding —
a bridal nod to the popularity of Western trends. Finally, the bride
ducks out of the reception to change into a third dress, this one a gown
of her color choice or a cocktail dress.
