The bride is wearing a semi-traditional wedding costume, which consists of the veil, a mandarin collar top and an A-line skirt, while the groom is wearing a Western suit. The adoption of Western wedding attire in Singapore accelerated in the early 20th century. While many couples wore Western attire, some chose a fusion of Eastern and Western styles.
