To match the village theme, Minh Tu chose to wear a red wedding dress, with a matching scarf embellished with pearls and crystals. The design is made of high-quality satin silk imported from abroad, inspired by Minh Tu's mother's wedding dress. The outfit combines a white lace gown with 3D flower embellishments to create a classic effect.
Before the wedding day, the supermodel told Chung Thanh Phong that she wanted to recreate her mother's image. 43 years ago, her mother also wore a red ao dai at her wedding. She wants every moment of her sacred happiness to always have the image of her parents by her side.
Minh Tu's mother advised her child to be less ambitious to build a family.
When going to the ceremony, the supermodel wore a satin wedding dress made with draping technique. The outfit is accentuated by pleated lines along the body, a 3D corset to shape the fit, and draped shoulder details help create softness.
The supermodel said the dress was her dream wedding dress. "I have worn too many gorgeous designs when modeling, so on the big day I just want to wear a light, minimalist and sophisticated dress that still exudes charm," she said.

The highlight of the outfit lies in the 4m long veil embroidered with the words "Married", the chiffon border is the teasing and urging words of the bride's fans and friends such as "Why aren't you married yet?" Minh Tu said he wanted to keep these caring words as a souvenir when entering a new page in life.
Designer Chung Thanh Phong also embroidered a red heart on the inside of the dress to commemorate his friendship with his muse, and at the same time send his wishes for a "fulfilled, happy and always full of love marriage." .
At the party after the wedding, the bride changed into a dress recycled from old clothes in a deconstructive style. The design is inspired by the image of Minh Tu in his youth, associated with secondhand clothes because of economic constraints. 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, disintegrated and thoroughly used materials from old bras and denim skirts, combined with pieces of mesh chiffon left over in the workshop. Minh Tu really likes the dress because it looks mischievous, unconventional and liberal, just like her personality.
