The qipao, also known as the cheongsam, is a traditional Chinese dress that has evolved over time to become a symbol of elegance and cultural heritage. Originating in the 1920s, the qipao features a high collar, form-fitting silhouette, and side slits, often adorned with intricate embroidery. Modern interpretations blend traditional elements with contemporary designs, making them a popular choice for brides seeking a unique wedding dress.
One such modern interpretation is our Lili Red and Gold Wedding Qipao with Phoenix. This gown combines traditional symbolism with modern design elements to create a stunning bridal ensemble.
