Wedding Attire

The bride's wedding attire is a Chinese trousseau, traditionally, a red silk hong qua wedding suit with silver and gold threads. The hong qua, meaning “red suit,” has been considered the Chinese wedding gown since its creation for the imperial family in the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368 C.E.). This traditional wedding suit is an intricately embroidered jacket of phoenixes and dragons-the symbol of the bride and groom-and a long pleated red silk skirt embroidered with flowers. To complete the ensemble, an elaborate headpiece with red pom-poms and tassels-a Chinese counterpart to the veil-is worn with the hong qua.
The groom's wedding attire is not as flashy as the bride's. The traditional Chinese gentlemen's robe is created with a subtle pattern on dark silk. A long red sash is draped over the shoulder and tied at the waist. A round black hat with a red tassel completes the groom's traditional wedding attire.
