Anyone who has been a bride would tell you this: choosing a wedding dress is a big deal.

After all, a wedding is a big event in a woman’s life, and marks a new milestone for her.

Which is why some women can take a few months to find the right dress. And this is also why the reality TV series Say Yes to the Dress is so popular.

While some women prefer to browse on-the-spot at the boutiques, there are those who feel safer if they go to the stores with some designs in mind.

Whichever party you belong to (or even if you’re not planning to get married), we’ve put together a gallery of wedding gowns worn by Korean celebrities for your inspiration.

Instead of tumbling layers of lace and tulle, opt for a lighter chiffon number with illusion sleeves and delicate embroidery for an unfussy and elegant look.

Bada of S.E.S

Include a bold swath of colour as a statement-making counterpoint to the pristine white of your bridal gown, just like how Bada of S.E.S has with her vibrant pink flower crown and bouquet.

Show off your slim waistline and hips with a cinched waist and mermaid cut dress just like actress Han Hye Jin.

Lee Hyo Ri

If you're as spunky as Hyori, get yourself in a loose flowy bohemian dress and flower crown in place of a tiara and princess ballgown.

Lee So Yeon

If you aren't a fan of the stark contrast of white, there are plenty of off-white and cream hued wedding gowns for your choosing.
