There is a retro craze all over the world, and so is the wedding. The traditional Chinese wedding in China is loved by people for its simple, humble, festive and warm publicity atmosphere. Chinese wedding itself is the symbol and representative of China traditional culture, and the basic elements such as harmony, respect and ceremony are even more important links that modern people lack. Therefore, the prosperity of Chinese wedding is not only the superficial pursuit of fashion or novelty, but a higher level. Chinese wedding venue layout is very important, and wedding venue layout emphasizes the theme and details. China has a long cultural tradition and unique poetic and cultural connotation in the East. Usually, traditional mascots such as dragons and phoenixes, China's unique patterns are used as materials, and luxury, elegance and atmosphere are the main design directions, so that every guest can experience the auspicious atmosphere of reunion and happiness. The brand-new wedding concept of combining Chinese and western styles is more suitable for the different style requirements of newcomers.

Nowadays, Chinese weddings in China are all based on the weddings in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, including wedding dresses with crowns, which are based on the costumes of the Ming Dynasty, while the transmission of braziers and the archery of sedan chairs are based on some traditions of Manchu in the Qing Dynasty. Different from the beautiful and romantic western-style wedding, Chinese wedding pays attention to simplicity, comprehensive etiquette, festive excitement and warm atmosphere, which is also the custom of weddings in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Although Zhou wedding or Han wedding is also called Chinese wedding, it pays attention to harmony and respect. It is a respect for heaven and human nature, with more dignity and less excitement. Therefore, the customs of beating, riding in a sedan chair, paying homage to the bride, and being crowned are basically the concentrated embodiment and essence of the wedding customs in northern China.

Chinese wedding is to highlight the traditional festive atmosphere. In traditional Chinese weddings, the bride wears a crowned dress and a red headscarf on her head, while the groom wears a robe or gown and mandarin jacket, and her body is covered with a red silk flower. Others wear He Xiu's clothes, which shows the bride's figure accordingly, and the atmosphere is more relaxed and casual, suitable for some newcomers who like simple style. Under the witness and blessing of relatives and friends, the two newlyweds slowly boarded the sedan chair with the bride in the red silk led by the groom. Sedan chairs can be carried by four people and eight people, and bearers are usually replaced by two more people. If there are many passengers, the sedan chair is also divided into a main sedan chair and an auxiliary sedan chair. There used to be a passenger sedan chair dedicated to transporting guests. Some people say that the sedan chair is divided into dragon sedan chair and phoenix sedan chair, mostly for deduction, but the decoration on the sedan chair is different. Besides the bearers, there are Sheng, Gong, Umbrella and Fan Kaidao. Generally, there are more than a dozen people in the sedan chair team, and the scene is spectacular. Firecrackers, sedan chairs, suona, red happy characters and so on all show the beauty of the nation. The sedan chair is not the most important part of Chinese weddings. Newcomers generally live far away, so they choose to arrive near the hotel by car and then transfer to the sedan chair. When changing sedan chairs, you'd better choose a bigger venue. One is convenient parking, and the other is because the scene of jumping sedan chair is easy to attract onlookers, which leads to continuous traffic.

The new couple's clothing is a full set of crowned chaplet, and it is easier to choose robes and jackets. Accompanied by bridesmaids and led by HongLing, the groom, the bride wearing a red veil slowly boarded the float. After arriving at the position of the sedan chair, the bride changed into a sedan chair. Please refer to the specific process: China traditional wedding process.
