“The Vietnamese ‘ao dai’, a traditional wedding dress. Here’s me with my beautiful bridesmaids on my wedding day.”

“Something a little different — my modern Cheongsam, a Chinese wedding dress, that I’ll be wearing down the aisle.”

“I had the wedding ceremony 2 weeks ago. It’s a Sri Lankan, low-country attire.”

“I said ‘yes’ to the dress for our elopement! I am shocked I went with red for my lehenga, but it feels so right! I can’t go wrong with a classic.”

“My sister had a traditional Sikh wedding.”

“This is my wife, native Han Chinese. This dress is part traditional Han, with some added green because that’s her favorite color.”

“The backup for my wedding. This is a traditional Indonesian attire called ‘kebaya’.”

“My Cambodian wedding outfit. My future husband is Buddhist, so I’ll be wearing this for the monk blessing, and changing into a traditional white for the English ceremony.”
