Hwa Khwan or the wedding headdress is composed of flower-shaped silver and golden tinsels glass and golden beads. The brides would put their hair
up in a specific high bun. The front is combed back the sides and the back are puffed up. The bun is decorated with a swan or a phoenix made of gold
or silver. The swan is believed to be the greatest bird with a beautiful flute-like cry and usually seen wading through calm and peaceful habitat. The
swan is a symbol to remind the bride that when she marries into the husband family she must be gracious and well spoke like the peaceful cry
of the swan. She must nurture a calm and peaceful home. The front of the bun is decorated with flowers and butterflies which symbolizes married life
and eternal love. Hairpins are then placed around the head. In the past the bride and the groom would meet for the first time on their wedding day.
The movable flowers on the headdress show the witnesses how nervous the bride is. The faster the vibration of the flowers more nervous the bride is.
