A wedding gown is clothing worn by the bride during a wedding ceremony. Color, style and ceremonial importance of the gown depend on the religion and culture of the wedding participants.
In the Philippines, variations of the Baro't saya are considered to be wedding attire for women, along with the Barong Tagalog for men.
Some variations of the Baro't saya are the Maria Clara gown, the ensemble having the addition of the alampay or pañuelo, a large kerchief or shawl wrapped around the shoulders, and the more daring ternó (which sometimes disposed of the pañuelo altogether).
