Qun Kwa, originating during the Ming Dynasty, the Qun Kwa dress has been a symbol of marital happiness and prosperity for centuries.
What is Qun Kwa?
What is Qun Kwa?
Traditionally, a Qun Kwa consists of two parts: a jacket a skirt. This exquisite wedding attire, typically worn by brides from Hong Kong and Southern parts of Asia, features hand-embroidered symbols such as dragons, phoenixes, pomegranates, lucky clouds, bats, peonies and grapes.
The dragon and phoenix embroideries are padded and three-dimensional, adding rich texture and depth to the garment. Due to the deep cultural significance of these symbols, it is generally not recommended to fully customize the embroidery.

- Zhong Wu Fu Kwa : Offers around 70% embroidery, balancing elegance and simplicity.
- Xiao Wu Fu Kwa : Ranges from 30% to 60% embroidery, providing a more understated option.
5 Levels of Qun Kwa Embroidery: From Minimal to Extravagent
Xiu He Fu
The Xiu He Fu is a modern creation of Chinese Wedding Dress that inspired by gowns from the late Qing Dynasty (1910s). It gained popularity in 2001 when actress Zhou Xun wore it in her wedding scenes in the Chinese drama “Ju Zi Hong Le.” The gown’s name originates from Zhou Xun’s character, Xiu He.
Compared to the Qun Kwa, the Xiu He Fu tends to be bolder and less traditional, offering a unique blend of historical elegance and contemporary flair.
