After more than a decade together, the "golden couple" Shin Min Ah and Kim Woo Bin officially got married on December 20. Amidst the romantic snowfall space at Shilla Hotel, Shin Min Ah's wedding dress is not only the focus of Asian media but has also become a new symbol for the " Quiet Luxury" style in this year's wedding season.
In contrast to the popular trend of minimalist, smooth wedding dresses, Shin Min Ah has chosen a poetic design, completely blending with the winter setting of the wedding ceremony.
The actress chose an A-line dress combined with a strapless breast trophy. This design focuses on shaping a delicate waist and showing off a slender ceiling shoulder - which is a physical advantage that helps her always maintain the title of "iconic goddess" of the Korean screen.
The entire body of the dress is covered with thousands of handmade 3D flower motifs, creating a visual effect like snowflakes falling gently and suspended on the pure white fabric.
MK (Korea) and The Korea Herald commented: "The dress transformed Shin Min Ah into a radiant snow princess, bringing a pure and magical feeling under the splendid chandelier."
She minimalized her jewelry with a thin diamond necklace and a long white veil that touched the ground with high-quality tulle material. This choice helps her overall appearance become elegant, not burdened by the embroidered details on the dress.
This choice is completely consistent with the aesthetic philosophy that the actress shared before the wedding: "I like modern designs with clear structures and a feeling of durability over time rather than temporary trends."
The mystery of the wedding dress
Choosing a dress with snow- inspired patterns at a wedding held in the middle of Seoul's winter shows the mastery of sophistication in connecting fashion with the real setting.
Although the designer's identity is still kept secret as a way to respect the privacy of the ceremony, international fashion experts have given the two biggest predictions:
The first possibility is that the wedding dress the actress wore was a Custom design (on request) from Chanel. As a brand ambassador, it is entirely possible for Shin Min Ah to wear a Haute Couture design specifically designed for herself. This is similar to how international stars often choose the fashion house they represent on big days to affirm their position.
The second possibility is her return to the Bridal Kong brand. This is the fashion house that accompanied her in the movie "No Gain No Love". Bridal Kong is famous for its "unique" designs, combining the personality and pride of Asian women. A dress with a high personalized mark from a high-end domestic brand is a very popular choice for Korean celebrities.
Surpassing the value of a luxury item, Shin Min Ah's wedding dress is a testament to mature aesthetic thinking.
