Sit up and take notice, Hallyu fans – a new power couple has just tied the knot! South Korean actors Park Shin-hye, 31, and Choi Tae-joon, 30, got married in a private wedding in Seoul, on Saturday, with their family and celebrity friends in attendance.

Park – famous for roles in K-dramas from 2021’s Sisyphus: The Myth to 2003’s Stairway to Heaven – went all out for her nuptials, looking resplendent in not one, not two, but four elegant bridal gowns at her wedding and her pre-wedding photo shoot. She went for elegant looks inspired by nature with plenty of lace and floral patterns.
The dresses that she picked were by two top fashion designers – Oscar de la Renta and Monique Lhuillier. Legendary Dominican fashion designer de la Renta’s creations have been worn by former US first ladies like Nancy Reagan and Jacqueline Kennedy, and celebrities like Beyoncé and Scarlett Johansson. Korean actress Ko So-young also wore the brand when she married fellow actor Jang Dong-gun.

The dress is “Look 6” from Oscar de la Renta’s spring 2022 bridal collection. Inspired by botanical designs focusing on pressed flowers rendered on dresses, the collection aims to fulfil the wedding fantasy of a lush garden ceremony, according to the brand’s Instagram.

According to Bridal Musings, the average price tag of a bridal gown from the brand is US$14,000 – but this one costs even more, about US$18,700, KoreaBoo reports.

Park’s first pre-wedding look is another piece from Oscar de la Renta’s spring 2022 bridal collection – “Look 8”. The ball gown comes with embroidered bows and a large perforated lace pattern, like a garden. Inside is a layer of nude cloth. Together, the design elements create a unique, bold and luxurious look all at the same time.

It is just slightly less expensive than “Look 6”, at around USS$17,600, per KoreaBoo.

3. Monique Lhuillier’s Magnificent

In another picture, Park wore a classic pure white lace dress by Monique Lhuillier. See-through lace from the neck to the wrists is embroidered with flower and leaf designs, while the corset bodice grants a magnificent air to the dress – just like its name.

The gown is from Monique Lhuillier’s 2021 spring bridal collection, which combines Spanish and Californian flair with its luminous embroidery, traditional lace, delicate floral details and regal proportions, according to the brand’s website. It reportedly costs nearly US$10,000, per Pep.

This collection reflects the beauty of spring, which is the blooming season of flowers. It features cascading flowers, a hand-tufted bustle, hand-rolled rosettes and 3D flower embroidery especially inspired by the dahlia, according to the brand’s website.

The gown is estimated to cost the same price as the Magnificent.
