A bridal trend that is here to stay
The wedding cheongsam is having a moment now among all brides-to-be, and we are all falling hard for it. Right now, there are endless possibilities to how you can style a traditional cheongsam, modernise it as a reflection of your personality. Let’s take a look at how some of our #amandaleebrides have incorporated the modern wedding cheongsam into their big day, seamlessly.
#amandaleebride Sharon’s wedding day, photographed by Multifolds.
Giving a nod to the traditional Chinese culture, Sharon started her day with a modern full lace gown with an attached mandarin collar before donning on a red midi cheongsam for her tea ceremony. Filled with modern botanical details, Sharon pulled off the scarlet red tea dress perfectly.

It’s easy to fall in love with Felicia’s short tea dress, a unique play of intricate detailing against an emerald duchess satin. An open back design with asymmetrical lace detailing added more dimension to the bold and elegant combination. One thing we love most is the medley of beads, pearls, sparkles, and 3D details held on the bodice, giving it an ultra-glam effect.
#amandaleebride Esther’s wedding day
Esther’s choice of a long modern cheongsam steered away from the traditional stiff collar and was designed with a fully beaded, low mandarin collar to give ease to the wearer. We’re also swooning over how graceful the whole look was put together- a comb back chic low bun with drop earrings, simple and subtle ease of feminine elegance.
#amandaleebride Britney’s wedding day, photographed by Trouvé.
For her tea ceremony held just before the luncheon at Ritz Carlton Singapore, Britney decided to go with a bold composition of turquoise and black. With an adventurous play of colours, Britney still looked absolutely regal and sophisticated while making a bold statement!
#amandaleebride Tiffanie’s Wedding Day, Photographed by Terralogical
If there’s anything that we love about Tiffanie’s cheongsam, it has got to be the decorative hand beaded appliqué against an off white chantily lace dress. Hand stitched across an illusion base, this seemingly traditional look was given a twist for a more brilliant and youthful look… perfect for our fun-loving girl!
#amandaleebride Patrina’s wedding day, photographed by Trouvé.
Patrina’s choice of lavender and periwinkle for her tea dress is both enthralling and sweet. With a lightly beaded bodice that is perfect for an afternoon affair, this softly tailored mermaid silhouette hugged her curves gently, oozing a dose of girly charm.
#amandaleebride Alicia’s wedding day, photographed by Bloc Memoire.
Shying away from virbant hues, Alicia’s colour choice for her cheongsam is what all modern brides dreamed of. Decked in bold gold earrings, the light coloured cheongsam in turn created a beautiful statement suited for the celebration.
#amandaleebride Jane’s Wedding Day
A piece of soft fluid modern cheongsam designed for Jane. What we adore most is the play of multi-coloured pastel appliqués enhanced with splashes of rose gold sparkles… creating the look of subtle elegance that kept us falling in love.
#amandaleebride Yumin’s wedding day
Who’s up for cheongsam separates? We certainly do! On top of it, Yu Min decided to go with a playful flair midi-length skirt instead of the usual form-fitting silhouette, and the best part of it? You can wear them again separately after the wedding! Adorable!
#amandaleebride Georgina’s wedding day, photographed by Krystalpixels Photography
For Georgina, it was love at first sight with this baby blue and pink coloured cheongsam adorned with a light floral accent. Bringing it from day to night, Georgina took upon this dress as her main wedding gown which saw her through gatecrashing, tea ceremony, lunch and dinner reception.
If you’re doing a pre-wedding shoot like Yvette here, having the modern cheongsam as one of your looks makes it more interesting visually. Bonus if you’re intending to keep your bridal gown for the wedding day, making the “first look” on your wedding day more memorable! Yvette also wore her this versatile style again for the tea ceremony on her actual day!
