Born in 1982, Ji Young (Julia) Kang grew up across England, India, Singapore, and China—absorbing how different cultures wear and value jewelry. These diverse experiences gave her the ability to recognize common threads across cultures: meaning, heritage, and the joy of adornment. Bringing that perspective together with Korean craftsmanship and introducing it to new markets has become her greatest passion. Today, she curates Korean handmade accessories with a distinctly global point of view.

Designing Multicultural Weddings : Jiyoung Kang Studio and Nicole Please Weddings

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.

Nicole Please Weddings shares this very philosophy, and today, she is more than an inspiration — she is our collaboration partner. Nicole describes Jiyoung Kang Studio Accessories as “timeless, leaving a lasting impression with designs that are truly one-of-a-kind.” Our partnership ensures that her couples can experience jewelry that perfectly complements the beauty and uniqueness of multicultural celebrations.

I, Ji Young Julia, 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 design weddings 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 Accessories, weddings go beyond styling alone. Our handcrafted pieces — made with Czech stones and designed to capture light naturally — add brilliance to her celebrations. More than accessories, they become treasures that couples carry with them long after the wedding day.

Meeting Nicole and collaborating with her has been transformative for us as well. Just as different languages, cultures, and traditions merge into something beautiful, so too do weddings and jewelry. Together, they create the perfect harmony. ✨
