This study aims to point out a progressive orientation and activation of related works by analyzing the research trends in wedding fashion. The scope of the study covers domestic dissertations and those released in academic journals between 1969 and July 2017. An analysis of the research was conducted to identify the main research fields, the research subjects within each field, the methods used for research, the research target and research target area. Results from this study are as follows. First, research about wedding fashion increased greatly in the 2000s and continued to persistently increase. Second, the research field that took the largest portion was design/aesthetics, followed by marketing, history of costume, others, and apparel technical design/production, in descending order. Third, the preferred research methods used in the research included development studies, investigative studies, literature studies, case studies and experimental studies, also in descending order. Depending on the research field, however, it concentrated unequally on a certain method. Fourth, the research targets were primarily women, thus necessitating an extension to include men in the target audience. The research category leaned towards costume, which means that a diversity of research item is required. Fifth, regarding the targeted area, China was mentioned most except Korea. As to the comparison of area between Korea and China appeared most. As to the research period about costume history, 20C was researched the most often. However, when it came to traditional Korean wedding costumes, the research concentrated mostly on the Joseon period. Finally, the research on the usage of images unique to Korea and traditional costumes, focused on design development of costume history field or design/aesthetics field. The future research of wedding fashion would improve by reflecting the changes of the times and the changing needs of consumers if it could have access to research field, theme and method in more balanced and coordinated way.
