In the earlier days, almost about 200 years ago, most Chinese men and women wore Hanfu dresses for their weddings. The Hanfu, the traditional dress of the Han majority of people in China, has undergone a lot of changes in terms of design, color, and style in the recent past. Did you know that the theme of wedding hanfu dressing followed different color codes during different dynasties?
Black with red embroidered details was the color code followed for wedding Hanfu dresses, in the Qin and Han dynasties. However, in the Wei-Jin, Southern & Northern dynasties, white was also introduced into the world of wedding Hanfu dresses. In the Tang and Song dynasties, brides and grooms had to wear green and red Hanfu wedding dresses respectively. This color code again changed during the Ming Dynasty, as brides had to wear red, while grooms had to wear green, blue, or red Hanfu dresses only, during this time.
