Avar bride
The Avars are a Northeast Caucasian ethnic group who, to this day, still implement traditional rituals, norms and conventions. As can be seen in the picture below, the traditional wedding outfit of the Avars is quite unusual, as well as intricate. The bride is covered from head to toe and her outfit is adorned with silver jewelry.
When it comes to choosing a partner, it is customary for the parents to be involved in selecting the bride or groom; while the groom-to-be has the right to inform his parents if he wishes to marry anyone special, the parents often select their children’s future partners.
