If you’re planning a wedding that balances heritage and high fashion, look no further than Ejae’s wardrobe. She started with a striking Hanbok designed by Han Eun Hee—deep red skirt, green‑and‑gold top, and all the hand‑stitched detail that makes the fabric feel alive. It wasn’t just a dress; it was a statement that the Paebaek ceremony would honor her Korean roots.
But the ceremony didn’t stop at tradition. For the outdoor vows, she turned to New York‑based designer Danielle Frankel. The strapless gown’s elongated bodice, asymmetric pleats, and softly bubbled hem gave it a sculptural, almost architectural feel, while a nude chiffon overlay kept the look airy and romantic. When you’re choosing a modern gown, think of the silhouette as a canvas that can carry your personal story.
After the vows, the reception called for a different vibe. A custom chiffon creation by Zac Posen took center stage—body‑skimming, sparkling finish, long train. Pair it with diamond earrings and a sleek high bun, and you get that glamorous after‑party glow. The trick? Let the dress breathe and let your accessories do the rest.
One of the most intimate touches was her grandmother’s heirloom jewelry. Wearing it was a quiet nod to family history, and it reminds us that the best accessories are the ones that carry meaning. If you have a favorite family piece, consider how it can anchor your look across multiple outfits.
The takeaway? You don’t have to pick one style. Start with a traditional piece for the ceremony, layer on a custom couture gown, and finish with a sparkling reception dress. Reach out to local designers who can blend these elements—look for a boutique that offers custom hanboks, or a tailor who can sketch a modern gown with a traditional twist. Don’t forget to bring a piece of home jewelry to tie everything together.
