Japanese brides wear formal white kimono with obi for the ceremony and an elaborately decorated and padded uchikake for the reception and presentation. The uchikake is similar to the outer garment worn by courtesians in classical Japan when formal dress included twelve or more layers!
Most of the material used in this formal wear is silk. Some blends may be present, but we cannot always determine fabric content without significant testing which could damage the garment.
