I picked "red" but let my ladies pick their flattering shade. I'm doing a bunader wedding if I ever decide again to get married, but since my ladies aren't Norwegian I think I'll just ask them to wear their own culturally significant ensemble, or a piece of one.

I like the intersection of background and how the US influences it (I am assuming, but not sure this is the same for Canada). White is a huge no no in a lot of Asia, and red is the best color. In my background we wear our traditional fancy dress, but the bride wears a crown. We also don't get given away, the couple walks together down the aisle, which I really like. There would be a procession to the church from the bride's home, with fiddler's and everyone would go as a big group. Since I'm grandfather and fatherless, I think I may go the give myself with my spouse route.
