It is said that the current wedding ceremony at a shrine was established in 1933, when the Shinto ceremony based on the wedding ceremony of the then Crown Prince (later Emperor) Taisho spread throughout Japan.
It is basically a ceremony at a shrine, which in olden times incorporated the symbols of each house embroidered on the ceremonial kimonos. From this, it can be said that the Kamisaki ceremony is the one that inherits traditional Japanese weddings and customs.
Solid white is the most prestigious bride's costume, with Ukake (kimono hanging on top), furisode hanging underneath it, and other small items all unified in white.
However, recently, coordination such as matching colors to pure white has become popular.
Originally, brides used wigs and false hair as the hairstyle to match, but nowadays there are many people who match with Western hair.
"Black five crest haori hakama" is a costume of the groom. Both the long garment worn underneath and haori worn over it are made of Habutae, a silk fabric, all in black.
Both of them have five crests dyed white. The hakama to wear together is a striped pattern of "Sendaihira," which is the finest hakama cloth. The wider the stripes, the more youthful. This "black five coat haori hakama" is the most prestigious kimono, and it is used as a western-style morning or tail coat.
