The wedding culture different between China and England

Author: Jane  //  Category: Uncategorized

    Firstly, the purpose of the weddings are quite different. Chinese consider marriage as “the joining two families  for the ancestors and for the offspring”. What about the British wedding? It seems to pay more attention in love. The aim of a wedding is to allow the lovers to live together forever, so it is a private affair more than the family’s affair.

     Secondly, the wedding dress is also different. In a Chinese wedding, the common color is red. The color red is considered good luck, a strong color that which can drive away evil spirits. The traditional Chinese wedding dress in northern China usually is one-piece frock named Qi Pao, embroidered with elaborate gold and silver designs. Brides from southern China usually wear a two-piece dress named Qun Gua, Kwa or Cheongsam, also elaborately adorned with a golden phoenix and dragon. The western wedding dress is often white. It means chastity, beauty, loftiness, and civility. White dress, white flowers, white veil, and the white cream cake, everything is so romantic.

     Thirdly, the woman’s status in a wedding is different. In the past, in a Chinese traditional wedding, because of the aim of that wedding, the woman usually has a low status. Nowadays, whether in China or in England, we can see it is more fair and more democratic. They will be asked if they would like to be his/her wife /husband no matter rich or poor, healthy or sick until die. They exchange their rings to show they are taken .

      In a word, with the society develop, the wedding ceremony custom in two countries become a lot in common,  it is more fair , more democratic, and more happy.

When deciding whether to use a back zipper or the more traditional buttons, consider the overall design of the gown as well as the back detail(s).

The tradition continues today in the form of a white wedding dress, though prior to the victoria era, a bride was married in any color, black being especially popular in Scandinavia. Later, many people assumed that the color white was intended to symbolize virginity, though this had not been the original intention. (It was the color blue that was connected to purity.) The white gown is in fact a symbolic christening gown. They are a variation of the white surplice worn in the Western Catholic tradition by members of the clergy, church choirs and servers and the gowns worn by girls making their first communion and at their confirmation and also by women making religious vows. Today, the white dress is normally understood merely as the most traditional and popular choice for weddings.

Wedding dresses have traditionally been based on the popular styles of the day. For example, in the 1920s, wedding dresses were typically short in the front with a longer train in the back and were worn with cloche-style wedding veils. This tendency to follow current fashions continued until the late 1940s, when it became popular to revert to long, full-skirted designs reminiscent of the Victorian era. Although there has always been a style that dominates the bridal market for a time, and then shifts with the changes in fashion, a growing number of modern brides are not choosing to follow these trends. This is due in large part to non-traditional and non-first-time weddings, and women who are marrying later in life.
