婚纱

• 拼音: hūn shā
• 汉字拆解: 婚 = 女 + 昏 (woman + dusk/evening, marriage — traditional weddings occurred at dusk); 纱 = 纟+ 少 (silk/thread radical + few/thin, gauze/sheer fabric)

含义

A wedding dress or bridal gown; the formal white dress worn by a bride during a Western-style wedding ceremony.

Specifically refers to the Western-style white bridal gown, as opposed to traditional Chinese wedding attire such as 凤冠霞帔 or 旗袍. Has become the dominant bridal fashion in modern China. 婚纱照 (bridal photography sessions) is a major pre-wedding custom in which couples invest significantly in professional shoots at scenic locations.
