Song Hye-kyo’s Christian Dior wedding dress

We can’t talk about Korean stars and wedding dresses without mentioning the one that Song Hye-kyo wore. The 40-year-old K-drama actress chose a gown from Christian Dior’s winter collection that was originally a black velvet dress, asking for it to be customised for her big day.

The dress was exclusively designed by the brand’s artistic director Maria Grazia Chiuri, and the brand even gave it to Song as a wedding gift. The white long-sleeved gown with plunging neck detail reportedly costs 110 million won (US$92,500), according to my.castko.com.

Ko So-young donned a luxurious Oscar de La Renta gown when she tied the knot with Jang Dong-gun in 2010. The actress opted for a tube-top style dress, kicking off a major wedding style trend the same year. The lavish dress cost 20 million won (US$16,800).
Ko’s choice of dress thrusted the brand into the spotlight in Korea, as many other celebrities chose dresses from it, including football player Ki Sung-yueng’s wife, Han Hye-jin, and actress Kim Hyo-jin.

Instead of picking a luxurious wedding dress from a renowned brand, Kim Tae-hee – who married K-pop legend Rain – chose to wear a gown designed by her stylist. According to The Jakarta Post, Kim came up with ideas for the design of the dress and her stylist bought the materials to bring her vision into reality. Kim actually graduated from Seoul National University with a bachelor’s degree in fashion design.
The custom-made wedding dress turned out to be a long-sleeved white gown with flower embroidery. Kim also wore a simple short veil.
