Hi, thanks for the question! “Historically, what was the color of wedding dress in China? ” – please check it out! 2) Dress and color of Wedding Hanfu. I also recommend the following two articles: 1) What is Traditional Chinese Wedding Dress? So as you can see, you are correct – the bride wore green during the Tang and Song dynasties (while the groom wore red). In fact, there is a saying for this tradition – “红男绿女” (Hong Nan Lv Nv), which literally means “red man, green woman”. It’s now become an idiom meaning “young men and women in beautiful clothes”. 2) Song dynasty wedding hanfu (1, 2) – Note: in past years, modern wedding hanfu came in only three styles – Zhou/Han, Tang, and Ming. Although the color coordination is the same, Song wedding hanfu differs from Tang wedding hanfu in style & accessories. It’s only very recently that authentic Song dynasty wedding hanfu has come onto the market. 1 – Song wedding hanfu for brides includes a long accessory worn over the shoulders called Xiapei/霞帔. Xiapei was a component of women’s formal clothing during the Song and Ming dynasties, and was therefore a part of Song and Ming wedding hanfu.
