Chinese
Red is the color of “Love and Joy” in China.
At one time it was the brides favorite color
of choice for the wedding garment, candles,
guest gift favors and everything that went
along with her wedding. In China today,
many girls still choose to go by the old
traditions of their forefathers, but more
and more, the country is becoming
westernized and brides are opting for the
exquisite white gowns worn throughout the
world. An interesting point of interest may
be the number of wedding gowns made in China
today, finding their way to your favorite
bridal shop. Almost without a doubt as you
have shopped for your gown, you have either
tried on or looked upon gowns made on
mainland China.
The Bride may wear a red wedding dress,
symbolizing love and joy. At the wedding
reception, a nine-course meal (lasting up to
three hours) is very popular. A family
member may act as the official "Master of
Ceremonies" orchestrating family
introductions, toasts, comedy sketches, and
a reenactment of the newlywed's courtship.
