Many people like Chinese style. What are the characteristics of Chinese wedding?

Newcomers always feel uneasy when they get married, hoping to present their best appearance. In order to make the wedding more memorable, many couples will make some plans for their wedding before getting married. From the style point of view, European wedding and Chinese wedding are two mainstream. The characteristics of European weddings are mainly romantic and pure, while the characteristics of Chinese weddings are mainly festive and lively.

Let's take a look now. What are the characteristics of Chinese weddings?

Chinese wedding is a kind of Chinese wedding banquet based on the birth of China culture. Chinese weddings are polite, festive and lively. Take the bride's wedding as an example. The bride must sit in a big sedan chair and be carried to the groom's house by a sedan chair. The sedan chair team of more than a dozen people also needs to play some classic festival music and sing all the way.

The dress of the couple is also one of the characteristics of Chinese weddings. The bride is usually a red wedding dress, embroidered with dumplings representing good luck and happiness, covered with a red veil, accompanied by the bridesmaid, and guided by the groom with HongLing to complete the follow-up process. However, many modern Chinese weddings have cancelled sedan chairs, but kept other links, still with a strong Chinese style.

In addition, Chinese weddings also need to pay attention to the following links:

Gifts: Newcomers should prepare gifts before the ceremony, including candy, melon seeds, peanuts, cigarettes and so on. And wrap it in red bags or cartons and distribute it to family and friends. On the wedding day, these gifts should also be distributed to the guests who come to the wedding reception.

Seating: At the wedding scene, the newlyweds need to arrange a guide in advance, or communicate with the wedding host in advance to guide the guests attending the wedding reception. Generally speaking, the man's family and friends are one side, and the woman's family and friends are the other side. Before the wedding reception, it is necessary to divide the area in advance, otherwise it is easy to cause trouble.

Toast: After the ceremony, the newlyweds need to toast the guests who come to the wedding banquet. Guests need to stand up and raise their glasses to send their best wishes to the couple. Don't force the bride and groom to pour wine. After all, the bride and groom have to meet other guests.

Chinese weddings have many characteristics, but with the changes of the times, many ceremonial contents have been cancelled, because modern Chinese weddings can't be completely carried out according to the traditional wedding process in China. However, the present Chinese wedding still continues some features of the traditional wedding in China, and can still reflect the characteristics of Chinese wedding culture.
