✨ First of all—if you landed here, chances are you’re a bride-to-be. Congratulations on your upcoming wedding! đź’Ť This is such an exciting time, and if you’re planning to wear a Vietnamese Ao Dai for your big day, you’re probably also wondering:Â
👉 Which Vietnamese bridal headpiece (Khan Dong) should I wear with my wedding ao dai?Â
You’re not alone. This is one of the most common questions I get from brides, so I created this complete guide to help you pick the perfect headpiece. Save this post for later—you’ll thank yourself when wedding planning gets busy!
Step 1: Choose the Right Color 🎨
The golden rule is simple: your Khan Dong should match your Ao Dai. The most popular Ao Dai wedding colors are: Â
- ❤️ Red (symbolizing luck & happiness)Â
- ✨ Light Gold (symbolizing wealth & prosperity)Â
- 🤍 White (symbolizing purity & new beginnings)Â
👉 If your Ao Dai is red with gold embroidery, you can either: Â
- Choose a red Khan Dong with gold details to match the embroideryÂ
- Or keep it simple with a plain red Khan DongÂ
The same principle applies for gold, white, or any other Ao Dai color.
Step 2: Decide on the Design đź‘‘
Now that you’ve nailed the color, ask yourself: Do I want simple or elaborate? Â
- If your Ao Dai is minimalist, choose a detailed Khan Dong for balance—it helps you stand out.Â

- If your Ao Dai is highly detailed (lots of beading or embroidery), a simple headpiece keeps your look elegant and not “too much.”Â

- But if you want full-on bridal glamour, go bold and match your ornate Ao Dai with an equally elaborate Khan Dong. Â Â
Step 3: Measure Your Head Circumference 📏
Fit is everything! A headpiece only looks graceful if it sits comfortably. Here’s how: Â
- Use a soft measuring tapeÂ
- Wrap it around your head (just above the ears and across the forehead)Â
- Write down the measurement in centimetersÂ
👉 This quick step ensures your Khan Dong fits perfectly and stays secure throughout the ceremony.

Step 4: Order at the Right Time ⏳
Timing is key! At Ao Dai Chi Dau, we offer two options: Â
- Pre-made size → Ships within 3 business days (if in stock)Â
- Custom size → Takes 4–8 weeks depending on when you orderÂ
⚡ Pro tip: Order your headpiece as soon as you’ve chosen your Ao Dai design. Your head size doesn’t change, so there’s no reason to wait until the last minute. Trust me, rushing is stressful—you’ll thank yourself later. Â
Final Thoughts đź’ˇ
Choosing the right Khan Dong doesn’t have to be overwhelming. Just follow these steps: Â
- Match the color to your Ao DaiÂ
- Balance your design with your dressÂ
- Get the perfect fit with an accurate measurementÂ
- Order early to avoid wedding stressÂ
And voilà —you’ve got the perfect Vietnamese bridal headpiece for your big day!Â
