Wedding Nostalgia

Every time we go to a wedding, I think of our wedding and get the warm fuzzies. We were just at Hubby's cousins wedding and I posted some pictures of these beautiful images of the Korean hanbok, plus my bestest buddy, vko, thought it would be nice to share my wedding hanbok pictures on this blog. So I thought I would share some wedding pictures with you fair readers. We had two ceremonies, first was the traditional western wedding ceremony and the second was the traditional Korean wedding ceremony. Also, I just thought I'd throw in the a pictures of the traditional western ceremony for the fun of it!

Heritage

My first love is watercolor, it's the first media that I became proficient at to express the stuff going on in my head in a coherent way. Whenever I see photographs that have a watercolor quality I am mesmerized, I actually start seeing brush strokes and color drips. Okay, I know that sounds crazy.

This Korean fashion spread was photographed by Kim Kyung Soo. It's so beautiful. I also feel a connection to this as a Korean, growing up wearing these traditional Han Bok for Korean holidays. I remember being stared at as a girl in an all caucausian neighborhood. They had never seen anything like it. A few years later, the neighborhood started changing and you started seeing women wearing saris, men in turbans, men practicing tai chi, cheongsam at the market, then I stopped getting stared at.
