Costume Japanese Kimono

Question: Halloween costume- Yuki-Onna?
For Halloween this year, I intend to go as a Yuki-Onna (snow lady), thus I am going to make a white kimono.
what I want to know is that, will my doing so offend any Japanese people who may see it (because it is white, and as far as I know, they are worn at weddings) if they live on my road or nearby, or if I upload a picture to a website such as deviantART?
also, I would like to have a suggestion for a colour for the Obi sash....
Answer: As long as you wear the kimono properly I seriously doubt you'll offend 99% of Japanese people. Actually, I've never had anything but positive reactions from Japanese people whenever I've worn kimono in public. Most of my kimono-wearing friends (from all over the world) report similar positive experiences. both in and out of Japan. Besides, unless you're using a kimono specifically designed for a wedding, your kimono is hardly going to look like a wedding kimono anyway.
With a white kimono you can get away with almost any color obi, but for something like this you might want to consider colors like silver or icy blue.
