Chinese weddings are lavish, lively and bursting at the seems with colour. This traditional celebrating is marked with rituals centrally focused on blessings of prosperity, happiness and abundance for the couple.

The An Chuang, taking place on a promising day, in which a bed is made and decorated with red and a mix of dried fruits and lonagns. This symbolises a sweet, long-lasting marriage with well wishes of fertility.
The night before the wedding the Hair Combing Ceremony commences where with each stroke of the comb a new blessing is recited.
The wedding is adorned with all things red and gold to signify love, success, honor and wealth.
The Tea Ceremony is an intimate affair with only the closest of the couples family in attendance, where tea is made and passed around. This takes place after the civil ceremony.
The wedding banquet is usually a lavish multi-course feast including things such as fish (for abundance) and a suckling pig (symbolising the bride’s purity).
With the banquet being of traditional dishes, this is the families way to demonstrate generosity and prosperity.
