== Havah Bridal Gown Variation == The Vorin wedding gown is a variation of a havah. It is likely an older version of what is now accepted as the traditional havah design. ~~As of Oathbringer, two~~Two Vorin wedding gowns have been described: ~~Navani: "~~{{quote\|Red, for luck, it was embroidered with gold and shaped much looser style than the havah, with wide sleeves and a graceful drape."\|[[Navani Kholin]]'s bridal gown{{book ref\|Oathbringer\|4}}}} ~~Shallan: "~~{{quote\|Sapphire grown was of an ancient style, with twin drooping sleeves that went far beyond her hands. Small rubies woven into the embroidery glowed with a commentary light. A golden vest draped over the shoulders, matched by the ornate headdress woven into her braids."\|[[Shallan Davar]]'s bridal gown{{book ref\|Oathbringer\|122}}}} The red light from the rubies' ~~stormlight~~[[Stormlight]] brings the "red for luck" to Shallan's gown. Using blue for Shallan's wedding gown indicates that Vorin brides are allowed more than one color option in a traditional wedding dress. ~~Possible Inspiration:~~ The Vorin bridal dress is likely inspired by traditional Chinese wedding gowns, which are often much looser in cut than a qipao or cheongsam – the more fitted traditional dresses.▼ ~~The wedding gowns are often covered in gold embroidery with designs that are meant to represent luck and other blessings for the couple.~~ == Bridal Crown == A bridal crown is worn by the bride as a headpiece for the wedding ceremonies in the Vorin tradition.
