@Yael Lucas: Thank you Yael, I don't know, maybe is their tradition, maybe the dress code, but it gives the event a completely different mood, interesting I believe.

I feel a great respect for other traditions, especially japanese ones. The gowns worn by the bridesmaid(?) and the bride are very very nice. El parasol arriba y el sol del atardecer le dan un toque muy romántico y especial.
