When Feiping Chang’s dream of a fairytale wedding came true, Piaget had the perfect accessory
Piaget Focus
In every decade there are brides who encapsulate the glamour of the era, and alongside them are the clothes and accessories that we will forever associate with these magical moments. In Monaco in the 1950s, it was Grace Kelly in her regal white gloves. In the early ’80s in London, it was Princess Di and her extravagant sleeves. In Hong Kong today, it's Feiping Chang’s fairytale white dress and her exquisite Piaget Limelight Gala watch.
Her wedding to Lincoln Li took place on beautiful Capri, an island off the coast of Italy in the Bay of Naples. The celebration spanned three days, moving from traditional Italian restaurants in the olive groves to the ceremony at Villa Lysis, a historic monument that the couple refurbished for their wedding day.
“The government has never allowed a wedding to be done there,” says Chang. “It took a lot of work, but we’re so happy that we were able to help... We actually built an entire bridge to link the grounds of the villa to the rooftop.”
They also covered the whole venue in flowers to create an enchanted Italian grove that resembled an illustration from a storybook.
And while everything—from the cake topped with strawberries and cream to the hand-illustrated, lemon-embossed invitations and customised goodie bags for all the guests—was nothing short of exquisite, the most beautiful vision of all was undoubtedly Chang herself.
Resplendent in an extravagant bespoke dress by Giambattista Valli, she looked like a high-fashion fairytale princess. It was a look she had envisioned for years, but when she was presented with the finished product, it went beyond her wildest expectations.
“For as long as I can remember, I always knew that when the day came, I would want Giamba to make my dress, because he really makes very dream-like creations that are just above and beyond,” she says.
