To match the village theme, Minh Tu chose to wear a red wedding dress, with a matching crown decorated with pearls and crystals. The design was made of high-quality imported satin silk, inspired by Minh Tu's mother's wedding dress. The outfit combined with a white lace cape decorated with 3D flowers creates a classic effect.

Before the wedding day, the supermodel told Chung Thanh Phong that she wanted to recreate the image of her mother. 43 years ago, her mother also wore a red ao dai in her wedding. She wanted every sacred and happy moment of her life to always have the image of her parents by her side.

When walking down the aisle, the supermodel wore a satin wedding dress made using the draping technique. The outfit featured pleats along the body, a 3D corset that shaped the body to fit, and a soft shoulder detail.

The supermodel said the dress was her dream wedding dress. "I've worn so many gorgeous designs while modeling, so on the big day I just wanted to wear a light, minimalist and sophisticated dress that still exudes charm," she said.

The highlight of the outfit is the 4-meter long veil embroidered with the words "Married already", the border of the veil is the teasing and urging words of the bride's fans and friends such as "Why haven't you gotten married yet". Minh Tu said she wants to keep these caring words as a memory when entering a new page in her life.

Designer Chung Thanh Phong also embroidered a red heart on the inside of the dress to commemorate his friendship with his muse, while also sending wishes for "a happy, fulfilling marriage filled with love."

At the post-wedding party, the bride changed into a deconstructive dress made from recycled old clothes. The design was inspired by Minh Tu's image in her youth, when she used secondhand clothes because of her tight budget . The beauty wanted to bring this story to her wedding dress to remember the difficult times, creating a strong Minh Tu today.

To make this dress, Chung Thanh Phong cut, disassembled and thoroughly used materials from old bras and denim skirts, combined with pieces of mesh chiffon left over from the workshop. Minh Tu really liked the dress because it was mischievous, unconventional and liberal, just like her personality.
