Asian weddings Birmingham are an opportunity to combine the modern and traditional in a way that celebrates your culture but adds a unique twist. You can incorporate Asian influences in every aspect of the design.
Invitations
Red and gold are thought to bring luck and prosperity, so they are good colours for your invitations. Add extra decoration with Chinese calligraphy, and seal the envelope with a red stamp carrying another Chinese character. You can send separate invitations for the tea ceremony and the wedding itself.
Clothing
Clothing is another area where you can combine Eastern and Western influences. You may choose to go all-out with your outfit, such as by wearing a cheongsam for at least part of the celebration, or you may just choose some Asian accessories, such as a Chinese-style hairpin or extra red on your shoes.
Decoration
Once you have hired a marquee from a company such as goodintents.co.uk/wedding-marquee-hire/asian-weddings/birmingham/, you can line your aisles with Chinese lanterns and leave a Chinese-style fan on each chair. If there is an archway, this is another chance for Chinese characters.
Tea ceremony
The tea ceremony is based on ancient traditions and presents an opportunity to share an intimate moment with your parents, close relatives, and other important guests, separate from the noise and chaos of the main wedding celebrations. Ensure you have all the necessary equipment for the ritual.
These are just a few ideas for a Chinese wedding. The potential for combining Asian and Western influences in a modern wedding is almost limitless.
