Ever imagined what these brides from Japan have turned their Kimonos into?

The ways in which weddings happen in Japan have definitely changed over time. There are many couples in Japan who have been shying from the traditional wedding ceremonies in Japan and as a result, prefer private wedding ceremonies in which, only a selected number of guests are invited. The western culture is slowly blending in Japan and the wedding is a function which is predominantly being attended only by near and dear ones. Also, people have started to emphasize on the costume for their wedding. Japanese brides have started to search for an awesome dress instead of their traditional Kimono,

By pairing up a traditional furisode long-sleeve Kimono, the brides actually appear classy in a strapless dress. In this case, the sleeves are folded down first before tying them into a decorative bow. It can also include flowers, birds and scallop patterns on the surface that look prominent and attractive. The best aspect about this dress is that, it does not take those over ten minutes to come up with this attire. With the new look, the brides in Japan have started looking highly attractive without much effort involved.

In just 10 minutes, this stunning transformation is made:
