Hanbok

Korean bride in a green wonsam at a traditional wedding, 2006 Standing beside her groom at a traditional ceremony, this bride wears the wonsam, the ceremonial robe of queens and upper-class women in the Joseon dynasty, here in the green once used for princesses. A long white cloth embroidered with flowers covers her hands, and the crimson dots on her cheeks and forehead are yeonji gonji, the classic bridal makeup. The groom answers her in a purple robe with an embroidered square on the chest and a black winged hat, so both outfits borrow their look from the Joseon court.
