Cultural Context
In Korea, Western-style wedding dresses are standard for the main wedding ceremony, even for couples who also incorporate traditional elements. Many brides will wear a white wedding dress for the ceremony and then change into a Hanbok (한복) for the 폐백 (pyebaek), a traditional bowing ceremony to the groom's family, or for the reception. The wedding dress industry is significant, often bundled into comprehensive wedding packages known as '스드메' (seu-deu-me), which covers studio photography, dress, and makeup.
