The indigenous peoples of the Americas have varying
traditions related to weddings and thus wedding dresses. A Hopi bride
traditionally had her garments woven by the groom and any men in the village
who wished to participate. The garments consisted of a large belt, two
all-white wedding robes, a white wedding robe with red stripes at top and
bottom, white buckskin leggings and moccasins, a string for tying the hair, and
a reed mat in which to wrap the outfit. This outfit also served as a shroud,
since these garments would be necessary for the trip through the underworld.
A Pueblo bride wore a cotton garment tied above the right
shoulder, secured with a belt around the waist.
In the traditions of the Delaware, a bride wore a
knee-length skirt of deerskin and a band of wampum beads around her forehead.
Except for fine beads or shell necklaces, the body was bare from the waist up.
If it was a winter wedding, she wore deerskin leggings and moccasins and a robe
of turkey feathers. Her face was painted with white, red and yellow clay.
The tribes of Northern California (which include the Klamath,
the Modoc and the Yurok) had a traditional bridal dress woven in symbolic
colors: white for the east, blue for the south, yellow (orange) for the west;
and black for the north. Turquoise and silver jewelry were worn by both the
bride and the groom in addition to a silver concho belt. Jewelry was considered
a shield against evils including hunger, poverty and bad luck.
