Framed: Cambodian wedding stylist keeps culture alive one ‘I do’ at a time

Seattle salon owner Nary Kuy finds comfort and purpose in bringing her traditions to the PNW.

In a second-floor bedroom in Kent, about 10�women crowd around the edges of the room, chatting in Khmer, the official language of Cambodia, and watching�a bride primp. The group is�dressed in brilliant pinks, greens, and purples. The sounds of traditional Khmer instruments fill the air from the living room downstairs. Nary Kuy is right in the middle, kneeling down to pin�skirts and adjust�gold accessories.

It is Bory Khun and Chhonly Pin's wedding day, and Kuy is in charge of making sure the bride and groom look like royalty and that the bridal party matches perfectly.
