There are multiple different types of traditional Chinese wedding dresses, but the most common is called a Qipao (or Cheongsam in Cantonese). This red dress features elaborate and intricate gold and silver accents, typically with a Mandarin collar and short sleeves. They became popular in the 1920s after the fall of the Qing dynasty and have remained a popular choice for brides ever since. In the Southern parts of Chiba, brides will often wear a Long Feng Gua, a top, and a skirt - also red with gold imagery like a dragon and phoenix.
