Bride in Red at Chinese Wedding in Shanghai
The air crackled with the joyous anticipation of a wedding day. The young woman, Xiaohua, stood bathed in the warm glow of the room, a vision of youthful elegance. Her face, flawless with a touch of light makeup that emphasized her youthful features, was framed by a cascade of black hair adorned with a phoenix hairpin; a traditional symbol of good luck and prosperity in Chinese weddings. A bright red stain coloured her lips, echoing the auspicious hue of her wedding dress, a stunning qipao that hugged her curves like a second skin. The crimson silk shimmered with intricate gold embroidery, each design a delicate phoenix taking flight – a silent prayer for a harmonious and fruitful union, a common wish for couples in Chinese weddings. --- A Xiuhe, a traditional wedding headpiece crafted from red silk and adorned with strings of freshwater pearls, rested upon her head. The lattice-like design, reminiscent of a magpie's nest, symbolised industriousness and the hope for a future filled with abundance, a traditional blessing bestowed upon brides during Chinese weddings. Each pearl, meticulously sewn onto the silk, represented a heartfelt blessing from her family and ancestors, their love a weight she carried with pride on her wedding day. In her hands, she cradled a grand bouquet of peonies-China's national flower-their velvety petals a symbol of passion and new beginnings, a popular choice for Chinese wedding bouquets. The lush green stems, reminiscent of jade, whispered of longevity and prosperity, another blessing hoped for in Chinese weddings. The off-white backdrop of the room, adorned with papercuts depicting scenes of everlasting love, seemed to fade away, leaving only the radiant bride, a picture of elegance and tradition, ready to embark on a love story that stretched back generations, a beautiful continuation of Chinese wedding customs. --- According to copyright laws of the People's Republic of China, Works enter the public domain 50 years after they were first published, or if unpublished 50 years from creation.

I thought these were Christmas cards when I ordered them. Much to my surprise they are small but as cute as ever! I ended up putting a sticker inside to announce our new address. Then included it inside our Christmas wishes. Worked out perfect. I would purchase again. It also looks like our pup, Pharley. 😁. Printing could not have been better! It was perfect. I mailed them all out so I don’t have a picture. They were so cute!
