With over 200 sub-cultures, traditional wedding-wear in India can vary. By and large, the women wear saree’s which are pattern-stitched long lengths of material, folded and draped around the woman, or a long skirt and matching blouse. The men wear Kurtas, which resemble long shirts and a pant, or a “veshti”, which is essentially like a wrap-around skirt for men.

In Korea, both the Bride and the Groom wear a traditional dress known as the Hanbok, preferring bright colors and simple designs. The Bride usually wears pink or purple, or light shades of red. Other members of the Bride and Grooms family may also wear Hanboks, though most prefer western dresses and suits.

Northern Macedonian Weddings come with a lot of folk dancing, like the “Hard Dance”, also called Teskoto. Koluk, a sweetened yeast bread, is usually baked and then decorated with flowers.
