JIYOUNG KANG SAYS

A wedding is never complete with just the dress.
It’s the accessories — the details that sparkle — that truly elevate the atmosphere and turn fleeting moments into lifelong memories.

That’s why we seek pieces that embody not only beauty but also sustainability and exquisite craftsmanship.

The philosophy of "total styling" has been at the heart of Jiyoung’s work since the very beginning. This vision was shared and championed early on by Nicole of Nicole Please Weddings,a long-time peer in the luxury bridal space.  Reflecting on the unique craftsmanship Jiyoung brought to the industry during her years helming LuteWorks, Nicole described the designs as:  “Timeless, leaving a lasting impression with designs that are truly one-of-a-kind.”  While that chapter of collaboration took place under the LuteWorks name, Nicole’s appreciation for high-end, artisanal detail remains a cornerstone of the standard we uphold today at JIYOUNGKANG STUDIO.

Her expertise in multicultural celebrations continues to inspire our commitment to jewelry that complements the unique beauty of every bride, honoring the collaborative spirit that helped shape our brand’s DNA.

I, Ji Young, have always been deeply inspired by Nicole’s work. 

Her ability to create inclusive and meaningful weddings for couples of diverse cultural backgrounds is nothing short of extraordinary.“Nicole’s approach to weaving together different traditions and cultures into a unified vision resonates with our values, much like the intricate way we craft each accessory. Naturally, this shared vision grew into a collaboration, where jewelry now plays an essential role in telling each couple’s story.”Nicole’s journey began with her own experience as a mixed-culture bride.France, Switzerland, and Taiwan — none felt like the natural choice for her wedding. This realization led her to create Nicole Please Weddings, a service dedicated to helping mixed-cultural couples designweddings that truly reflect their unique love stories.

Over the years, Nicole Please Weddings has become synonymous with excellence, recognized worldwide for unforgettable celebrations:

• Celebrity wedding of Celina Jade (Arrow TV) & Han Geng (Super Junior) in New Zealand: blending Chinese and Western cultures with breathtaking New Zealand scenery.
• Saudi Arabian couple at the Dolder Grand ballroom, Switzerland: transforming an indoor space into a mystical forest with 404 real trees, executed in just 2.5 months.
• Commitment to sustainability: incorporating nature responsibly, such as renting plants and trees to minimize waste while delivering grandeur.

Nicole’s influence extends further as a Swiss Wedding Awards 2023 jury member,

the official wedding consultant for Hyatt Group Global since 2022,

and being named Top Wedding Planner in Hong Kong by Sassy Hong Kong

as well as Gold Award Best Wedding Planner 2023 by Expat Living.

Now, with her vision aligned with Jiyoung Kang Studio,

weddings go beyond styling alone.

Just as different languages, cultures, and traditions merge into something beautiful, so too do weddings and jewelry. Together, they create the perfect harmony. ✨
