Asian Theme Wedding
Which Asian Theme Wedding Is Right For You?
Weddings with an Asian theme have been a popular choice with
brides for some years. Asian theme weddings blend drama with the
ages-old romance and mystery of the East. But referring to 'Asian
theme weddings' is simplistic.
There are at least two clearly defined styles of Asian weddings
that are popular with American brides - the Chinese wedding, and
the Japanese wedding. Chances are if you're considering an Asian
theme wedding, you have an image in your mind of what that means
to you.

The two styles of Asian themed weddings are as different as night
and day, though they can be blended if done with a light hand.
After all, it's your day, and it should reflect your personal
style.
A Japanese style Asian themed wedding borrows a great deal from
the concepts of Zen. It's all about the elegance of simplicity.
You may be attracted to a Japanese style wedding as a statement of
your personal beliefs, or simply because the sparseness of the
decorations and the ceremonies pares the day down to its essential
meaning - two souls joining into one for eternity.
Decorations are usually simple and elegant, favoring cool neutral
colors and harmonious shapes. Cool and neutral doesn't have to
mean bland, though. Jade green and pearly gray is a great example
of a color combination with flair and drama that suits the
Japanese wedding theme perfectly.
You might base your Japanese style wedding on the same principles
that form the basis of haiku and Japanese flower arranging. Choose
a few dramatic accents and keep everything else simple.
Instead of a fussy bridal bouquet with yards of lace and ribbons,
carry a single stem of gladiolus for a spring wedding, or an
armful of calla lilies in the summer.
Follow suit with the hall decorations. Hang paper lanterns - the
Japanese beehive style rather than the fringed, colorful Chinese
style - on the wall behind the head table. Decorate the tables
with floating candles in a glass bowl, mingling with lotus
blossoms. Living bamboo shoots decorated with printed ribbon make
a perfect wedding favor - a bit of luck for guests to take home
with them.
By contrast, a Chinese style Asian theme wedding is a colorful
pageant in rich reds and golds and black. Think Chinese New Year -
red silk dragons, gold coins and bright, vibrant colors. Take the
paper lanterns off the walls for this one - and use a trio to
decorate the centers of the tables.
Splashy flowers suit a Chinese themed wedding beautifully. Choose
red and yellow poppies, or crimson camellias in baskets rather
than bouquets for the bridesmaids. Decorate the hall with lengths
of shimmering satin in the wedding colors. Drape it in swags on
the walls, caught up with gold bands or tied with bright ribbons.
The popularity of Chinese weddings means that there are many
choices for wedding favors. A particularly popular one is Chinese
takeout food boxes filled with custom printed fortune cookies.
There are other Asian wedding themes that can be used as well, but
these are the two most popular.
