In western cultures, brides traditionally wear a white dress. However, when you look a bit to the east, you will find that depending on the culture, wedding attire varies greatly.

Some women wear colorful robes, others paint their faces and hands according to local traditions, and still others hide their face behind jewelry.

Of course, not everyone keeps these traditions, but they are still alive in many places. It is quite surprising that the same occasion is celebrated in so many different ways.
