Asian Wedding Themes: Soothing, Sophisticated and Exotic
Asian themed weddings have become quite popular these days. The
understated elegance of Asian décor can create a wedding celebration
that is visually stunning. Simple, soothing and sophisticated, Asian
décor also offers a touch of the exotic, a combination that has proven
irresistible to many couples who wish to create a wedding look and
atmosphere that is beyond the ordinary. Read on for a few tips on giving
your event a bit of traditional Asian flair.
Whether your wedding
will be a daytime event or an evening one, no Asian themed wedding
would be complete without paper lanterns. Whether you choose mini
lanterns as elements of your centerpieces or as specialty wedding
favors, or large paper lanterns to serve as your primary reception
lighting, lanterns are an indispensable detail of Asian wedding décor.
And, no matter your wedding color scheme, you'll want to have at least a
few red lanterns scattered about, since red is the color of luck in the
Chinese tradition.
Fans are another must-have item for an Asian
wedding theme. Decorative silk or sandalwood fans certainly lend an
Asian feel when they are incorporated into the wedding décor. They can
be used as table decorations, in centerpieces, placed around your guest
book or given to your guests as wedding favors. Wedding programs can be
printed on paper fans, and napkins can be folded into fan shape to add
flair to your reception place settings. Traditional Asian fans can be
purchased in a variety of sizes and can be found in an array of colors
and patterns to suit any wedding color scheme.
Parasols make
wonderful accent pieces in an Asian themed wedding. They can be used as
decorations along the wedding aisle or carried by bridesmaids to add a
colorful, exotic touch to the ceremony. As part of your reception décor,
large paper parasols can be hung from the ceiling, or miniature ones
used as table decorations. They can be purchased in bright, bold colors
or more subtle shades, as well as in a variety of patterns.
Bamboo
is traditionally included in wedding décor in some Asian cultures. Live
bamboo plants scattered about as accents is a great way to use bamboo
at your wedding, or use bamboo place card holders on your reception
tables. Another great way to incorporate bamboo into your celebration is
to give bamboo picture frames, coasters or bookmarks to your guests.
Any of these items make lovely Asian wedding favors to compliment your
wedding theme.
Other details that can help create just the right atmosphere at an Asian themed wedding are water features, such as small, battery operated fountains or decorative bowls with floating candles, lotus flowers, orchids or cherry blossoms. Elephants, in some Asian cultures, symbolize happiness, luck and longevity, and are traditional additions to the wedding celebration as décor elements or Asian wedding favors.
With a little imagination and research, you can put together all the elements you need for a beautiful Asian themed wedding. Whether you lean towards Chinese, Japanese or Indian elements, or a combination of them all, the simple elegance of Asian style décor is sure to set a lovely, romantic scene for your wedding celebration.
