Asian theme weddings
Today’s trends break down into two main types of Asian weddings: the Japanese or “Zen” style, which values simplicity and nature, and the more riotous Chinese style, which bristles with bright colors and shiny fabrics. Although either choice may surprise your older guests, you may find a deep expression of personal values in an Asian-themed wedding. After all, the usual wedding is a type of pageant: the couple pretends to be royalty for a day, and lavishly entertains a large party -while racking up the debt. But brides drawn to the Zen-style ceremony sometimes want to avoid the pageant, and simplify the ceremony. This type of bride might read “voluntary simplicity” books, ponder the environment, enjoy an uncluttered house or apartment with a handful of Japanese accents, or find herself attracted to natural materials. She might feel freed by a simpler wedding gown, and carry an unfussy bouquet of calla lilies. Her centerpieces might be lanterns surrounded by black and white stones.
