Okay here is a few designers that combines the Japanese culture with Kimonos and contemporaries them to the highly loved western theme. Setsuko Wakatsuki is a designer who elegantly uses kimono fabrics in her wedding dresses taking inspiration from the folds and stitches that create such beauty

The oriental detail and silk material compliments well with the meaning of the dress for the special day. It isn't hard to realise why these dresses are so popular other than the fact that they are masterfully crafted, these dresses are a symbol of ones heritage. But give the sense of importance and fairytale wedding that western young ladies  love so much. Setsuko Wakatsuki has perfectly balanced the use of Japanese cuts and folds for an authentic kimono but has the elegance that is the symbol of beauty.

Here is work from Setsuko Wakatsuki:

Western inspired Kimono wedding dresses. Features such as the obi sash has been manipulated to form a bow on the back and the print of the flying crane,

  

 Contemporary Kimono wedding dress saturated in colour highlighting the bride's pure white skin. 

a bridal fashion design named Eiko whom works for Aliansa has created some amazing work that combines the work of western dress and eastern traditional culture. using everything each culture has to offer and using each feature to compliment the next.

These are some of my favourite kimono dress designs that i feel highlights everything that i am trying to accomplish in my project. the use of colour is obviously chosen specifically pink for the cherry blossom that appears at spring and so is the Japanese colour for purity  or blue to highlight water and sky for elegance.
