Weddings are momentous and joyous occasions
regardless of what culture you hail from. If you’re Chinese, however, planning
your big day entails unique challenges and preparations not present in western
weddings.
Given the amount of ceremony associated in Chinese
weddings, it’s easy to lose track of all the things you need to accomplish. To
help you out, here are a few friendly tips that will help you have the perfect nuptials:
Save the
Date!
Like most couples, you want to set your wedding on a
special day. Fortunately, you don’t have to come up with the date all by
yourself. You can go to a feng-shui expert or fortune teller who will look at
both your birthdates and zodiac signs to determine the most auspicious date for
the ceremony.
Mind the
Décor
Pay attention to the décor during your reception as
well. Red has always been a lucky color for the Chinese, but since 2014 is the
year of the wooden horse, consider incorporating shades of brown and green as
well. Fixtures like lanterns are also recommended since they symbolize hope and
good wishes.
Hire a
Great Photographer
You’ll also need a wedding photographer to cover
your nuptials. However, be sure to hire one that specializes in Asian weddings.
That way, you will have photos that accurately capture the essence of this unique
and joyous event.
