Weddings
are meant to be joyous occasions, beautiful ceremonies where friends and family
members from both sides come together to celebrate the union of two people in
love. But they can also be filled with plenty of pressure. Planning a
traditional Chinese wedding, especially, can be a daunting task. If you are

and customs to

The
Betrothal Ceremony
The
Betrothal Ceremony, or Guo Da Li, is an
important event in Chinese culture that usually takes place two to three weeks
before the actual wedding day. Besides selecting an auspicious wedding date,
this ceremony serves as a formal meeting between both families where dowry and
gifts will be presented to the bride by the groom’s side of the family. The
dowry and betrothal jewellery, especially, is a key feature of the occasion,
ranging from gold bangles to 4-piece sets, or Si Dian Jin, depending on the dialect group of the
bride.
Here
at Blissful Brides, we provide you with a wide range of vendors who offer the
finest quality, custom-made gold bridal wedding jewellery for your special day.
We believe that every bride deserves the best. Hence it is important to us that
each bride gets the most beautiful pieces to last a lifetime and be passed down
as heirlooms.
The
Tea Ceremony
The
Chinese tea ceremony is a time-honoured and significant occasion for both the
bride and groom. It is a mark of respect to the elders by serving them tea and
a way to receive blessings in return for the marriage. Yet, many couples are
unsure of where to start or how to go about planning it.
Whether
it is venue selection, invitations, preparing a tea set, or choosing the tea
for the ceremony, it can be a lot to take on. Our experts at Blissful Brides
have the experience and knowledge to help you develop a customised plan that
meets your needs while honouring traditions and ensuring you do the occasion
right. If you are planning on hosting a Chinese tea ceremony, it might be
prudent to be prepared beforehand and seek help from a wedding consultant who
can lend their expertise and ensure your big day goes off without a hitch.
The
Wedding Banquet
The
wedding banquet, or “Xi Jiu”, is a grand affair that takes place after the
wedding ceremony. It is an important part of Chinese culture and a way for
family members to gather and congratulate the newlyweds. And with this often
being the big finale to your wedding, the key to making it a success is in the
details.
The
first thing you will need to do is decide on and book the venue for your
wedding banquet. Then it’s about sending invitations and arranging catering and
entertainment for your guests. Perhaps you will also want photographs taken at
this once-in-a-lifetime event to be kept as memories forever.
It
can all become a little overwhelming and taxing on a bride or groom-to-be. Here
at Blissful Brides, we have a vast array of vendors who are able to assist you
with any aspect of your wedding banquet preparations, many of whom have been
crafting unforgettable wedding banquets for years – all at the best competitive
