traditional vietnamese wedding

Don't you love this gold wedding dress? Well here is a little history on the dress...
 
The gown I am wearing is called “Ao Dai.”  They are the traditional gowns women wear in Vietnam (where my parents are originally from).  Many young women wear these gowns on a day to day basis say to school or something, however it is very plain, all white and no hat.

What I wore is the traditional gown that brides wear when they get married, however what makes it more “wedding like” is the choice of fabic, and the hat.  Typically brides wear a flashier brighter color to signify happiness and good fortune as they step into the next stage of their life as a married woman.  And also to let everyone know “hey I’m the bride!” Only brides wear the matching hat.  The hat is not worn on a regular basis since it is only meant for a bride’s wedding day.

Traditional Vietnamese wedding is looking outstanding. I am really inspired with these cute photos from this chic wedding. It was just a brilliant share because we also would be marrying soon and to best accentuate the atmosphere on our big day, I would like to book the prettiest hillside Chicago wedding venues.
