Wai-Ching does it again

Yes, I'm a longtime fan of Wai-Ching dresses, and even wore one to my book release party. But with this silk dress, Chrissy Wai-Ching has truly outdone herself. No seriously:

I love that Chrissy made the groom's dramatic silk tie to match … but really you haven't lived until you've seen the back of the dress. That's where the real party is goin' on…

    Comments on Wai-Ching does it again

    2. I was already thinking about getting a Wai-Ching dress… this dress has made up my mind! Its so beautiful!

    3. i love how colorful it is! colorful weddings make me so happy. more brides should keep in mind that you don’t have to stick to 2 or 3 colors (usually black, white and an accent color or two). you can use as many colors as you like! definitely makes for a more “fun” feel + interesting wedding photos forever.

    4. wow.. it’s looks like she’s shedding parts of her dress as flower petals. 🙂 cool pic, too. Yay, Wai Ching!

    6. Uh, okay, I just checked out the Wai Ching website, and once again I am kicking myself that I didn’t find Offbeat Bride and all the cool vendors she knows of until AFTER my wedding. Those dresses are not only out of this world, they’re not even expensive!!!

    7. gorgeous!

      love chrissy. i can’t even say how much i want the inca, even though i have no where to wear it.

    8. So gorgeous!!
      I’m glad I’m getting a Wai-Ching…
      but it’s not quite as colourful! Damn!! Envy right here!

    13. OMG WHAT A BEAUTIFUL BRIDE!!!!!!!! And I LOOOOVVVEEEE her fabulous natural hair! I wish there were more natural-haired brides on this site. That literally took my breath away! I have to have that dress, that hair, those sunny colors. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

    14. Gorgeous bride, but that dress is a little bit project runway looking to me… I do love some of the other Wai Ching dresses though.

    15. She seriously just keeps getting better and better! I hope one day to be able to buy one of her dresses and then I plan to wear it to each and every special occasion.

    16. So, I remember looking at the dresses before. I don’t remember why I ruled her out before. But all I know is that I am ordering one for my wedding.. like now. I have been looking and looking for the perfect dress and I have finally found it.

    17. STUNNING! I loved my wedding dress, but seeing pictures like this still makes me almost second-guess not getting a Wai-Ching….

    18. I WANT THAT DRESS!!!!! i dont see it on the website..
      anyone have any info?

    19. Chrissy does tons of custom work, including the dress in these photos. You just need to contact her.

    20. I think they both look stunning! it’s impossible not to feel special when you wear a dress like that!

    21. thanks ariel!
      so that means she could make one that fits my womanly figure ;D

    22. I love wai-ching! I would die if i could afford to have the multi colored wedding gown they have on their website right now that looks similar to the one in the picture above!

    24. Surreal… I know this couple, or the bride at least 🙂 She’s an old friend from high school. She looks stunning in such a wonderful dress!

    25. Amazing! I definitely want Wai Ching to design my dress. Now, if only I weren’t on the opposite coast…

      • I wouldn’t worry Millicent, I am ordering my dress from her and I live in england. My tip is to go to a “traditional” bridal shop in the UK ( as they will be more exact than if you do it yourself), get yourself measured and then send chrissy the measurements. I have already began correspondance with her and I can already say that she is a lovely woman and very accomodating to all suggestions 🙂
