OT. Korean wedding

When we opened this blog it was not supposed to be a personal diary (and no pictures of us), but this time I must break the rule and post something about the wedding I attended last weekend in Seoul because it was AMAZING. I was there as the groom is one of my colleagues and that was my first time in Korea (and Asia).

The ceremony was a traditional Korean ceremony, something that doesn't occurr in all the weddings (it was the first time also for the majority of the Korean guests I spoke with) and the couple and family were wearing traditional dresses...only the bride had 3 different outfits!

The first part of the ceremony, that took place at the Korean Museum of Furniture, saw the couple bowing in front of the senior family members and receiving their greetings (all wearing the traditional outfit)...the guests had to stand outside the room (and so my pictures are not that great!)

After that, there was the real religious ceremony inside, and the bride and groom were wearing the traditional costumes...she had this amazing hair sculpture with jewelry, that was very heavy but also very beautiful...

Then the young folks moved to the restaurant with the purple bus that carried us around and the party started with a delicious buffet and music...and drinks of course! Here the most touching moment, the speaches from the best man, bridesmaid and family members, took place and the couple showed up in "western style" wedding outfit...since this is a fashion blog, I need to say the bride's dress was incredibly nice, minimal and elegant and she looks stunning!

Speaking of fashion, that is my dress, that I matched with black accessories...all the other guests also wore formal dresses, all of them very nice and compliant with the rules :)

I am so happy for the couple and will be always thankful for this incredible experience!

W gli sposi!
