Morphology
The meaning 'the day on which a wedding ceremony is held' is directly and compositionally derived from 'wedding' (the marriage ceremony) + 'day' (a calendar day/event). This noun + day pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows a transparent semantic composition that a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily understand.
Etymology
Wedding day comes from the simple idea of a wedding happening on a particular day. It is the one day for the ceremony, vows, and celebration, so it means 'the day on which a wedding ceremony is held'.
