I could not have found a more perfect dress for my tea ceremony! My family is Chinese and my husband’s family is Vietnamese, and I couldn’t decide whether I wanted to wear a qipao to honour my Chinese heritage, or an ao dai for my husband’s family. When I came across the Nora Peacock Wedding dress, I knew it would be the perfect dress for the occasion. I was able to pay homage to both cultures with the traditional colours and peacock symbolism, while still being able to maintain my own personality and style.
I also loved the corset back. I’m quite petite and always have trouble finding clothes that fit me. I didn’t have to worry about having to get the dress altered because I was able to adjust it as needed.
I had so many people tell me that the dress was amazing. I could not have been happier! A big thank you to East Meets Dress for helping our community celebrate Asian culture, for breaking stereotypes while still honouring tradition, and for creating the most amazing dresses!
