Chinese Wedding Traditions

Hahhaha, if it's a big big big chinese wedding, it might go beyond 12 courses

Thanks Emilie.

It will be all western meal, however we are trying to see if we can incorporate some chinese desserts near the end... it's TBD atm

This is so amazing Eartha! I love that you are incorporating all these traditions in your wedding! I definitely can't wait to see pictures of your red dress outfit! Will you have chinese food on your menu or will it be a western meal completely?

I love learning about different cultures! Thanks for sharing!

12 courses!?!?!?!?! DAAAAAAAMN... and I thought it was Italians with tons of courses.

Hi Emilie,

What you've listed out is basically the jist of the traditional chinese wedding.

My fiance and I are having a modern western wedding incorporating some chinese traditions in it.

- Bridesmaid will host door games at the groom and groomsmen and he has to show his "worth" to be allowed through the door

- Tea Ceremony for both families

- As most of our relatives are in HK, not everyone will be able to attend our wedding

- I'll be in my red dress outfit during the tea ceremony at the bride and groom's family home and then also switching into it for a period of time during the wedding reception

- As we are having a western wedding, we are doing western courses but you are right, traditional chinese weddings can definitely go up to 12 courses

- We are definitely going to be visiting each table to make a toast to each guests and to thank them for coming

Anyone else in the group are incorporating any other chinese traditions into their wedding?
