At many Korean American weddings the couple is not the only family in hanbok. Parents, grandparents, siblings and children may wear it too, often for the paebaek.
Coordinate rather than match. Many families choose colors that sit well together instead of identical sets, keeping the couple distinct. If either family has expectations about colors for mothers or grandmothers, start there.
Decide who wears hanbok, and when. Some families wear hanbok only for the paebaek; others keep it on for the reception. That changes how many pieces you need and how comfortable they must be to wear for hours.
Start early. Gathering details from several relatives in different places takes longer than people expect. Begin well before the date.
What to send us. The date, which ceremonies are planned, who will wear hanbok and their role on the day, children’s ages on the day, and any colors to favor or avoid. Eric will talk through options for the whole group. Write to us.
