A description of the experience
This photo is of a Korean Royal wedding ceremony. The girl’s hair is braided into plaits forming a crown, and they also wear bows. In this case the bow may simply be a replacement for the wings, but on the other hand the Geisha wear bows with an entirely different symbolism.
