[Wedding in Korea] Koreans are having Culture Shock about the Wedding Style in Korea


Have you been to Korean "Wedding Hall" Wedding???

What was your impression?


        Let me tell you first about my impression. The first time I went to my Korean Language Teacher's Wedding. The wedding hall was in Gangnam area, Seoul. It was easy to find the building, but not the ceremony room itself. When you enter the building, you feel like in some kind of exhibition business center. There were so many people and so many rooms. All rooms were almost the same design, it remembered me a Church hall from the western movie. The difference was the welcome board in front of each room. In each room, there was a wedding ceremony for different couples. That's why the whole building was full of people.. they were the guests of other couples from each room.  I understood it later, because of many people it is hard to ask where is what..you don't know them, and they don't know you. After the official part of the ceremony, everyone goes to another room to eat. Imagine all the guests from all the rooms in the building goes to the same place to eat! There is no time to talk to the groom and bride. I couldn't even send my regards to them, they looked so busy to leave the ceremony room. Because in a few minutes another couple is going to have their ceremony in that same room (Weirdo :D) !!

        I went to the buffet place. It was packed. Lots of people taking their plates and eating with the stranger in one roundtable. I didn't get the idea of doing that, I just left the place. I thought that is the culture shock!

       I was talking to my friends and asked them about their impressions of Korean wedding. Here what they said via kakao messenger. The interesting thing is they have almost the same impression!







This topic was a hot issue that was discussed among Koreans in Naver blog. According to comments not only foreigners are getting Culture Shock but the locals too are having CULTURE SHOCK about their Wedding Ceremony!!! These are the comments they gave in WEDIT CEO's Naver blog post about the Korean Way of Wedding :


Let me wrap up the content:

- Don't know for whom this Wedding was prepared, for the couples or parents;

- I think it's not correct to invite the guests with whom you are not even in close relations... everyone just come to eat and go;

- the culture of inviting lots of people comes from the history..but if there were no Chuguigeum (money gift for happy occasions) culture from the beginning we could have enjoyed the ceremony...





- it's so ironical! they spend lots of money for that kind of ceremony;
- Wedding halls are just for money..and the guests are coming just because they were invited.. all are busy, the others do their wedding almost, in the same way, so did I...that's the reality...
- I think that kind of weddings is a big problem! Elder generation never agrees to make a small wedding with only 20 guests... WHY? Because they have to receive the Chuguigeum that they spread to 
others....


- I can't understand why people do this kind of Weddings?
- Even being a Korean I hate this! 3000 times agree that it's a Problem!

I was so impressed reading these comments... The younger generation in Korea understands that "Wedding Hall" Weddings are a big problem. They don't want that kind of weddings. The problem is the Elders... This is a huge GENERATION GAP Problem! It means there is a huge misunderstanding between Generations in Korea. 

Foreigners may accept this kind of Weddings as a Culture, but if the locals see it as a problem... then it means there is a SOMEthing to think about. 

Thanks a lot for reading! 
Will prepare something more interesting next time!

[International Wedding In Korea] 3 Tips on planning your wedding ceremony

12/18/2017 Anonymous 0 Comments

3 MUST Things that should be in your WEDDING

HeLLo, Everyone! I am Mika, a #global_wedding_director in Wedding Platform Company called WEDIT in Korea. Our Company is oriented in helping couples to plan and make Self Weddings by themselves!

I decided to devote this post especially for those who are busy with their wedding preparations. Here we go!

 3 Tips on planning your wedding ceremony

1. Walking in

This part is the most Important part of the wedding ceremony. And you should think about it properly. These are the questions that might help you to make a decision:

- How are you going to walk in?
- Who is going to walk in first?
- Is the groom is going to walk in alone?
- Is the bride is going to walk in with her father?
- Are you going to walk in together (bride and groom)?
- Do you want your parents (usually mums) to walk in first?

After you decide Who and How you are going to walk in, the important thing is to select the right music. These questions might be helpful:

- Are you going to have a live music?
- Are you going to play an mp3 file?
- What music do you want to walk in with?

It is better to make a list of the music for walking in part of the ceremony like "groom's walk in", "bride's walk in", "parents' walk in", etc..

2. Vows

The most important part of the ceremony. It is better to look through some samples of vows and make your own.
Pictures from Jasmine and  Sangjun's wedding
After the Vows there is going to be the Wedding Ring Exchange.
Picture from Becky and  Hyungsoo's wedding
After everything is done, it could be tie for bride or grooms' parents or friends to give a speech and their blessings to just married couple. Everybody is usually nervous on that day and some might  forget what they wanted to say. That's why it's better to prepare the speech earlier and print it out.

3. Walking out

Once the ceremony is about to end, the newlywed couple just need to do their recessional march. That's the moment all couples are waiting for as it's official their first step being husband and wife. It's great idea To select your favorite music in order to enjoy every second of your march.
You can ask your friends to prepare flower leaves to make a Flower Shower at the end of the virgin road.

This is the Average Wedding Scenario in Korea.
However all our brides and grooms having their own story we work together to personalize each couples scenario.
We're always curious to know how you'd like to plan your Wedding Ceremony  and what kind of cultural element you'd like to import from your Country.
Will wait for your comments and  and if there are any other topics you are interested leave us a message on the comment section bellow! Will do my best to write about that too. 
Hope this post was helpful for you to get some wedding scenario idea!

[Original Wedding In Korea] White-themed Modern Garden Wedding at a scenic Hanok cafe

8/01/2017 Wedit 1 Comments


How a wedding could be so natural and elegant



Have you ever thought about a gorgeous, luxury wedding? In fact, high-priced dress, venue and decoration are not the things that make a wedding irreplacable. Instead, it is always about putting the bride and groom's life and values into their wedding.

So today we're here to introduce a wedding which delivered so many messages about their considerations of their life and marriage itself.




Modern and simple styled wedding dress made a perfect match with the bride's image as an expert. Kara bouquet and the jacket on her shoulder were an excellent choice.






The main stage was decorated with white delphinium




This wedding was hold at Cafe Nine, Gang-neung of Korea.








This couple made an beer booth for guests who might be tired of strong sunlight.








Brides in Korea normally sit in a small room waiting for the wedding ceremony, but this bride chose not to be passive and welcomed her guest with a bottle of beer in her hand instead.




The bride and groom didn't hold any other's hand going into the stage. It reflected solely independent life of the bride and groom.














The groom played <She> of Elvis Costello for the bride.




The bride and groom invited the wedding team later for their efforts that enabled a perfect wedding. The following is what the groom said about what a real 'wedding' is.

"Our wedding ceremony was full of the music we love. We loved those songs before, but now it means more than just a music after wedding. So when i have a small arguments with her or when i'm alone, i listen to the music looking back on the wedding day. And it reminds me of the atmosphere, scent, my wife in white dress, all the guests came all the way to celebrate our wedding. Then i got to think how special my wedding was and how important it is in my life. " - The Groom.


There're some moments in our life that bring us back to the joy and delight we felt at that moment. WEDIT think that's only possible by putting all the efforts to do what we really want and do what we think is important. WEDIT is always for those brides and grooms.
