The colorful traditional Korean costume is called hanbok (??). The women’s outfit consists of a shirt (jeogori) and a wrap-around skirt (chima). Men wear jeogori with a pair loose pant (baji). These dresses, which comes in cheery, vibrant colors are from Hansam Hanbok. The Korean bride who chose to wear a traditional costume on her wedding may also wear an ornamental headgear and either the wonsam (ceremonial silk top coat) or hwarot (silk embroidered robe, usually in red) over her hanbok during the wedding ceremony. The Hallyu ( ??) or Korean wave which grew stronger in the early 2000s may be responsible for the costume gaining worldwide recognition. A Chinese friend of mine wore hanbok as one of the dresses for her wedding photo shoot.

Our Hawaii Bride Kristina, little nerd that she is, is digging up a little history today and sharing a fun timeline about every gal’s favorite part of the wedding: The dress! Happy New Year! As we said goodbye to the decade, I was in the mood for some history, so I went down to the good ole’ Hawaii State Library on Punchbowl Street (could be a beautiful out-of-the-box wedding venue, don’t you think?) and looked up wedding fashion throughout the last century or so. Photo by Burl Burlingame of the Honolulu Star Bulletin I was able to find a fun little book with a brief history of the wedding dress.
