How far in advance should a wedding áo dài be ordered?

We recommend ordering your wedding áo dài at least 2 months before the wedding. This allows time for design consultation, fabric selection, tailoring, a first fitting, adjustments and final finishing. During peak wedding seasons (September to December and March to May), earlier ordering is advised to secure your spot in the atelier schedule.

Red or white: which colour suits a wedding áo dài best?

Each colour suits a different ceremony. The traditional red áo dài is typically worn for the engagement ceremony (lễ ăn hỏi), symbolising fortune and happiness. White or soft pastel áo dài suits the formal wedding ceremony and wedding photography. Many brides choose to have both, one for each ceremony.

Can La Hằng create coordinated wedding áo dài for the whole family?

Yes. La Hằng Design specialises in coordinated wedding áo dài sets for the bride, groom, mothers and fathers of both families, and bridesmaids and groomsmen. Each set is designed to harmonise in tone and style, creating a cohesive aesthetic for the wedding day. Contact us for consultation on the set that fits your family.

Is a modern áo dài appropriate for the engagement ceremony?

A modern (cách tân) áo dài is entirely appropriate for the engagement ceremony, particularly for younger brides who favour a contemporary aesthetic. Common modern variations include knee-length skirts, boat necklines or three-quarter sleeves. The key is to retain traditional colour tones (red, pink, gold) to honour the occasion.
