Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'wedding' (the marriage event) plus 'gift' (a present), so it denotes a present given on the occasion of a marriage. This noun-noun combinatory pattern is common and cross-linguistically transparent, so an average B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand it.
Etymology
The noun wedding gift comes from the simple idea of a wedding and a gift: guests bring presents at a wedding to celebrate and help the new couple. Because people often gave useful items or money to help the couple set up a home, wedding gift now means a present given to a couple on their marriage.
