During the Joseon Period, commoners were allowed to wear royal family attire only once in their lifetime - on their wedding. In other words, hanbok worn at weddings originate from the royal family. The wedding hanbok in the photo was the one worn by the upper class people.
The wedding hanbok worn by the groom was modeled after the official attire worn by the three chief ministers - yeongeuijeong, jwaeuijeong and ueuijeong. It was comprised of jajeok danryeong (purple-colored durumagi), gwanmo (hat) and waist belt. The waist belt is made of ivory and called seodae. The shoes worn with this hanbok are called mokhwa, which has a wood board attached to the sole and a red line put on it.
The bride wore a red durumagi called hwalot, with rainbow-colored sleeves (saekdong), and they did their hair with a dragon head-shaped binyeo called yongjam. Peony (symbolizing wealth), swallowtail butterfly (many children), mandarin ducks (conjugal harmony), sea and mountain (life without hardship) are embroidered on the sleeves. Though it cannot be seen in this photo, it was customary to insert two phrases in dark blue - “iseongjihap” (wishing for harmony between the married couple) on the front and “baekbokgiwon” (endless blessings) on the back. The hwalot is not all that the bride wears. Under the hwalot, the bride wears a yellow jacket and a red skirt, plus many layers of undergarments.
