What is the wedding banquet of Chinese wedding?

What are the main customs of modern Chinese wedding?

Nowadays, more and more people choose western-style weddings-elegant or Korean weddings-romantic. When it comes to celebration, nothing can make everyone feel the festive atmosphere better than the loud suona sound, fiery red decorations and lanterns hung high at our Chinese wedding. So, what should be the process of Chinese wedding?

Everyone will never forget the scene of Yong Qi riding a burly horse and a swallow sitting in a sedan chair in Princess Zhu Huan. Let's preview some details of Chinese wedding together ~, of course, it is a little adaptation combined with modern plot ~

Departure of the sedan chair: Accompanied by gongs and drums, suona and lion dance, the sedan chair begins to depart. Traditionally, the bride should be carried out by her brother and put in a sedan chair. Modern people are mostly only children, and can only be done by cousins or groomsmen. Usually, they turn their backs to hug, so that men can relax. Ha ha.

At present, the distance of sedan chair is only a form. Unless the two families are particularly close, it will be very tiring to carry them from one end of Nanjing to the other. Time is not allowed ~ but it is customary to give red envelopes to the bearers, otherwise they will deliberately shake the sedan chair and let the bride eat enough.

Archery across the brazier: In ancient ceremonies, the bride crossed the brazier in a sedan chair, but now it is usually the bride who directly crossed with the help of the matchmaker. Then, before getting off the sedan chair, the groom will draw a bow and shoot three red arrows at the sedan door to drive away the evil spirits that the bride may be contaminated along the way. Well, you can use darts, which means on the top of the sedan chair. Pay attention to the safety of the bride:)

Visit the church and have a glass of wine: some people have to cross the saddle after the brazier, which indicates that the newlyweds are safe after marriage; Then, the groom picked up Sipa on the bride's head with a weight wrapped in red cloth. At this time, it is time for couples to pay a formal New Year call. The most important part after visiting the church is not to make a glass of wine, but to offer tea to the high halls on both sides. You should kneel down and sincerely offer tea to your parents. The cup is best matched with a big red one.

Heart to heart thanks to the media: in modern wedding ceremonies, many things that should be in the bridal chamber are moved out for display. For example, tying the hair should be a couple cutting some hair for each other in the bridal chamber and keeping it as a token of the relationship between husband and wife. Now this is a public performance. Later, the mothers of both sides lit dragon and phoenix candles, and the couple exchanged incense books and jewels as keepsakes, and then asked the matchmaker to give them hoofs.

Chinese weddings can't be short of help. There must be many "professionals" to support it.

Follow-up makeup may not be enough, because in addition to newcomers, there are bridesmaids, matchmakers, family members and so on. You have to wear makeup. As for the host, we should not only prepare the retro wedding speech in advance, but also preview the Chinese wedding process, singing and dancing. It is best to invite another person who knows how to plan Chinese weddings and coordinate various roles.

Find a reliable person to be the general director. Because the coordination between the route of the sedan chair and the hotel always needs someone to do it.

For a Chinese wedding, we should also pay attention to the wedding layout ~ flowers can be less, but props should be prepared. The scene of "one worships heaven and earth, the other worships the high hall, and the husband and wife respect each other" must be familiar to most people.

Basic elements of Chinese weddings

The rockhopper dress is the most indispensable prop. Bright red clothes look very happy on you, especially the groom's dress and the jade belt with flowers on the top, which are richer than the black suit at the western wedding.

According to the ancient ceremony, the bride was sent to the bridal chamber after paying homage to the bride, and then she opened Xipa to know what the future partner would look like. That kind of mood, modern sedan chair people certainly can't understand. Perhaps, only seeing the interesting appearance of the other party wearing ancient costumes will shine at the moment.

Friends, are you clear?

Sit in the sedan chair and wait for the moment when your groom kicks the door; Waiting for the moment when the groom lifts Hippa with a scale ~

I remember when I was young. Perhaps because our hometown is a little backward, I have never seen a western-style wedding. Later, when I came to Chongqing, I really saw the legendary western-style wedding, which was very popular at that time. However, today's newcomers are slowly choosing Chinese wedding as their own wedding celebration, and the trend of retro is slowly expanding. Western-style weddings look noble, while Chinese weddings look more festive. This has to be discussed by everyone! (This article is reproduced)
