Similarities between Chinese and Western Wedding Customs

1. At Chinese and Western weddings, when the bride enters the venue, there is always a "loud accompaniment".

Brides are all wearing white wedding dresses. I think this is a new trend in China, because their traditional color is red.

The bride and groom will board the float.

Every wedding has a master of ceremonies.

Differences between Chinese and Western Weddings

One:

In the traditional wedding ceremony in China, it is impossible to save the etiquette of paying homage to the couple from Tiandi to Gaotang. Only those who are indomitable spirit can be considered as real couples in the end.

Western-style church wedding ceremonies believe that a wedding mass must be held in the church to be a valid marriage, but now these two methods are difficult to completely appear, and most people are no longer obsessed with such etiquette.

Two:

Chinese weddings are about throwing hydrangeas to convey happiness, which is somewhat similar to throwing bouquets abroad. Lifting the hijab is also a traditional wedding custom in China, which corresponds to the western groom biting the garter, that is, the groom bites off the bride's garter and throws it out, and the guest will be the next person to get married.

Three:

In traditional weddings in China, people often put red dates, peanuts, longan and melon seeds, which means having children early. Western dessert tables are mainly made of fondant cakes and cupcakes, which are more attractive to modern young people. There are also differences in the costumes of newcomers. The bride in China usually wears a cheongsam or a robe with feathers, while the groom wears a tunic suit. In western weddings, the bride usually wears a wedding dress and the groom wears a suit. But now most couples choose to wear wedding dresses and suits. Even in a Chinese wedding, the bride will change into a cheongsam or a red skirt, while the groom will still wear a suit.
