COLORS
DESCRIPTION
Micaela had her mother’s traditional Chinese qipao reception dress from her 1990 wedding secretly altered. “It features a beaded dragon and Phoenix, which represent luck, loyalty, love, and joy. Together, they signify husband and wife,” explains the bride, who changed into the gown for the magical evening.
