ICYDK, billionaire heiress and beauty entrepreneur Kim Lim recently signed the marriage papers with her husband Leslie Leow. They also had a Great Gatsby pre-wedding dinner at 1-Atico that was attended by the likes of Zoe Tay and Rebecca Lim, among other celebs and socialites.
Here, we take a look at the elegant and timeless wedding dresses and evening gowns that Kim Lim wore.
During her solemnisation ceremony on February 22, Kim Lim wore a two-piece style wedding dress from Chosen By Kyha, which is carried by local boutique The Ivory Bridal. The crop top features simple, sleek lines that contrast with the voluminous, layered chiffon skirt.
This outfit departs from the traditional wedding dress silhouette, and is all about understated elegance.
Seated in a sea of blooms, Kim Lim exudes happiness and joy with her husband.
The couple specifically chose to solemnise their marriage on February 22, 2022. This also happened to be on a Tuesday, adding another 2 to the unforgettable date.
This strapless wedding dress comes from beloved wedding dressmaker Vera Wang, which is also carried by The Ivory Bridal. The tailoring is complemented with a soft, sheer top.
Although western-style wedding dresses have become all the rage, Kim Lim hasn’t abandoned the traditional Chinese wedding dress, the qun kwa. Custom-made by byGesa Couture, this qun kwa was also worn on the day of solemnisation. The striking red outfit is adorned with dragon and phoenix motifs, and matched with a huge necklace and seven pairs of dragon and phoenix bracelets.
Kim’s husband also sports a matching custom-made robe to exemplify their honour, glory and pairing.
The qun kwa from byGesa Couture is exquisitely made with bright and fine silk threads.
The addition of a traditional screen adds a touch of harmony and warmth as the couple had their Chinese wedding tea ceremony.
On February 25, Kim Lim and her husband hosted a pre-wedding dinner. Similarly, she wore a two-piece style dress, this time in black from The Ivory Bridal. The outfit not only makes her look taller, but also accentuates her small waist.
And with a turn of her body, the layered trailing skirt adds drama and dimension to the outfit, giving Kim Lim a commanding presence.
Kim Lim seems to have a penchant for two-piece silhouettes. Another outfit she wore for her pre-wedding dinner featured a feathered sleeve top with a high-waisted maxi skirt. This outfit comes from the Taiwanese wedding dress label Nicole + Felicia, which is also represented by The Ivory Bridal.
Leslie Leow proposed to Kim Lim on September 30, 2021 with an extravagant and romantic proposal ceremony. A month later, Kim Lim shared wedding photos of the couple, where she’s wearing a Nicole + Felicia haute couture gown from The Ivory Bridal.
The nude-coloured dress featured a romantic ruffled top that is matched with a dreamy skirt made with voluminous layers of tulle.
