Abstract

This study aims to obtain knowledge about cultural preservation through the use of traditional attire in Balinese weddings. In Balinese wedding rituals, the selection of traditional attire types has been used starting from the procession of making pre-wedding photos to the implementation of the wedding ceremony. The phenomenon of the use of traditional attire in wedding ceremonies evokes the use of various types of traditional attire that have been worn by members of the royal family and Balinese people in the past. This study uses a qualitative descriptive method with informants consisting of make-up artists, pre-wedding photo entrepreneurs, and a wedding couple in Bali. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and document studies. The research shows that knowledge about the traditional wedding attire worn by the bride and groom was obtained from the teacher where the make-up artist studied make-up. Attire knowledge was also obtained from traditional wedding dress sellers who regularly display their wedding custom creations on social media. The short course in bridal make-up is also a place to gain knowledge about various types of traditional wedding attire from various regions or regencies in Bali. In addition to using royal traditional attire models, the make-up artists also use traditional bridal clothing from the general public. The selection of the pre-wedding location will adjust the choice of traditional attire that will be used during the photo shoot. The trend of pre-wedding photos has unwittingly become an arena for preserving traditional clothes that are rarely used.
