Not Qing dynasty dress; it is Ming dynasty

It is a princess phoenix crown--it has two bobins only. This style head piece and dress are mirroring Ming dynasty formal wear. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phoenix_crown 192.33.240.95 (talk) 14:32, 27 January 2012 (UTC)

Ming style yuanlingshan as wedding garments in Ming Dynasty. The photo you are using is already modified during Qing dynasty, which continues to be used in modern days. The phoenix crown is also heavily modified in Qing dynasty, and is very different from the Ming dynasty version. Also, I don't see any bobin on the phoenix crown. Such traditional dresses have strict guidelines on how to make and wear them; any slight deviations and it's no longer 'Ming style'. If your photo is Ming style, it should look the same as those in portraits from Ming dynasty like this or this, or the clothing should look the same as Ming dynasty artifacts, but obviously it doesn't. Here is another example of Ming dynasty wedding dress. FYI, I was the one who made the phoenix crown wiki page. Supersentai (talk) 09:58, 31 January 2012 (UTC)

Reorganization of some information

I shortened the bit about the Taiwanese wedding and reorganized the information. This section is specifically for wedding dresses, and I felt that the wedding banquet information while interesting, belonged in the wedding reception section. I attempted to arrange the thumbnails in some sort of rational order, for example, more western-looking gowns in a section, more Chinese looking gowns in a section, and more Indian looking gowns in a section, etc. Previously, they were sort of just however, and the arrangement was a little confusion. I wish people had taken more pictures of the surroundings of these weddings though! I know there are a lot of details on wedding gowns, but I find that a lot of the times, the dress of the folks attending is really cool too. =)

Woah - this is really western - we might even want to rename it.

Are these Wedding Dresses?

I agree with the person who says that this is very westernized...I went over to Wedding and I found this "Different wedding traditions call for different wedding outfits:

Qipao, Chinese traditional formal wear Batik and Kebaya, a special garment worn by the Javanese people of Indonesia. Barong Tagalog, an embroidered formal garment of the Philippines Kimono, the traditional garments of Japan Sari, Indian popular and traditional dress in India Ao dai, traditional garments of Vietnam Morning dress, a particular category of men's formal dress Kilt, male garment particular to Scottish culture"

I don't know whether these garments would be considered wedding dresses, but they're worth a try.24.151.101.55 00:00, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Well, many of these people wear white dresses for weddings, but some still wear them for a traditional wedding. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.126.75.181 (talk) 18:47, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm deleting the last image of a wedding dress seen in New York. It is not the least bit appropriate. Yes, I know Wikipedia is not censored, yet this image does not help readers in any way. It's just meant to shock people, and it's only illustrative of the woman's bosom more than anything else. Deus Caritas Est (talk) 08:54, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Brides of "lower social standing"

I removed a sentence today about how poor people imitate rich people "as best they can". Obvious and totally worthless information, in my opinion. Anyone who misses the sentence: why not write a well-sourced article about People of lower social standing and how some of them imitate the wealthy in every way they can? There may be someone out there who would find that interesting? Or maybe a section in the article on Arrogance about people who classify others as "lower" in various ways?

Red and black

This article:

prior to the Victorian era, a bride was married in any color except black (the color of mourning) or red (which was connected with prostitutes)

White wedding article:

Royal brides before Victoria did not typically wear white [...] with red being a particularly popular color in Western Europe more generally.

Also on that page, there seem to be a few photos of brides in a black dress.

So which article is correct? 82.152.217.203 (talk) 16:03, 21 March 2010 (UTC)

The latter. I am correcting the misinfo here. SergeWoodzing (talk) 09:31, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
