What is Xiuhe Fu (ç§€ç¦¾æœ)?

Xiuhe Fu is a traditional Chinese two-piece wedding outfit consisting of an embroidered jacket (è¤‚) and a pleated skirt (è£™). It originated during the Ming Dynasty and became popular after being featured in the 2001 TV drama 'Xiuhe.' It features elaborate gold and silver embroidery with phoenix, dragon, and peony motifs symbolizing marital harmony.

What is Qun Kwa (è£™è¤‚)?

Qun Kwa is a Cantonese-style bridal outfit consisting of a fitted jacket and straight skirt, both heavily embroidered with gold and silver threads. It originated in Guangdong province and is the traditional wedding dress for Cantonese brides. The amount of embroidery coverage indicates the family's wealth â€” a fully embroidered Qun Kwa is the most prestigious.

Can I wear a Chinese wedding dress for a Western-style wedding?

Absolutely! Many brides wear a Chinese wedding dress for the tea ceremony and a white gown for the reception. Others choose a red qipao or Xiuhe Fu as their main wedding dress. Our fusion styles blend Chinese embroidery with Western silhouettes for a modern look.

What accessories come with Chinese wedding dresses?

Full Xiuhe Fu and Qun Kwa sets typically include: the embroidered jacket, the matching skirt, a belt/sash, and sometimes a phoenix coronet (å‡¤å† ) or hairpins. We also sell accessories separately: embroidered shoes, jewelry sets, veils, and traditional red umbrellas.

How do I choose the right size for a Chinese wedding dress?

Chinese wedding dresses should fit comfortably â€” not too tight, as they're meant to be worn for several hours during ceremonies. Provide your bust, waist, and hip measurements for our size chart. For custom sizing, also provide your height and the date of your wedding so we can prioritize production.
