This is a picture of a bride-to-be and her mother. The mother is braiding her daughter's hair for the last time the night before her wedding the next day. The braided hair indicates singleness in Korean traditional custom. The red skirt and the green top is the designated color of a bride's costume. From the Western look of the carpet, one can tell that this took place in the contemporary time; the modern Korean people are carrying on some beautiful Korean wedding customs. |
