A Note About Terms
I just wanted to point out that all the meanings I have been giving to the kimono terms are only the meanings that I have come to understand. Different sources may say they are different things! Like I just found out that sometimes the term shiromuku is used when the entire bridal outfit is white, or sometimes only refers to an all-white kakeshita (wedding furisode - Layer 003). My understanding was that it was an all-white uchikake. So please bear this in mind!
Also, I found out that you're supposed to wear a special obi (kakeshita obi), tied in a particular knot. So that part of my wedding outfit will not be traditional.
