A chinese wedding color tradition

by Karen Vander

For Chinese brides, red is the traditional color and not white. This red wedding color applies to also many other east Asian cultures. Red is central to the wedding theme of China. From invitations, wedding favors, and to wedding dress, its going to involve around the color red. From the decorations to the bride’s wedding dress, you will see red somewhere unless the bride wants to cause her poor folks a massive stroke not showing even a bit of tradition.
