Traditions Elevate Your Big Day

Chinese New Year is a time of celebration, prosperity, and beauty—much like a wedding! If you're getting married after the Lunar New Year, why not incorporate some of its rich traditions into your bridal look? From lucky red and gold accents to symbolic jewelry and hairpieces, here’s how to elevate your wedding style with accessories inspired by Chinese New Year.


Ways to Elevate Your Wedding Style


1. The Power of Red & Gold: Lucky Colors for Brides



In Chinese culture, red symbolizes joy, love, and good fortune, while gold represents prosperity and wealth—both perfect for a wedding! Here are some ways to add some red and gold to your wedding;

  • Gold Jewelry: Classic gold necklaces, bracelets, and earrings add elegance and symbolize lasting wealth.

  • Red Veil or Hairpiece: A subtle red floral hairpin or a red-tinted veil adds a lucky touch without overwhelming your look.

  • Red Wedding Shoes: Whether you choose red satin heels or embroidered flats, red shoes bring good luck to your marriage.


2. Traditional Chinese Jewelry: Symbols of Love & Blessings

The words love, harmony, and prosperity are not usually associated with jewelry, but in Chinese New Year and in ancient Chinese weddings these jewelry really did signify those words and can be explored more with these other items;

  • Jade Bangles: Jade symbolizes protection and good fortune. A jade bracelet gifted by your mother or grandmother adds sentimental value.

  • Double Happiness (囍) Necklace: A pendant with the double happiness symbol is a beautiful way to honor tradition.

  • Gold Bangle Set (Si Dian Jin, 四点金): In Chinese weddings, brides often receive a four-piece gold jewelry set from the groom’s family as a blessing for wealth and happiness.

  • Dragon & Phoenix Jewelry: This classic combination represents the perfect balance between husband (dragon) and wife (phoenix), symbolizing a strong and harmonious marriage.


3. An Ode to Tradition: Exquisite Hair Accessories


Chinese New Year celebrations often feature elaborate hairstyles adorned with intricate accessories. Many modern brides are incorporating traditional hair ornaments, as a homage to tradition and as a timeless bridal accessory. Here are some ways to add these accessories to your wedding look;

  • Red & Gold Floral Hair Combs: These represent happiness and prosperity, especially when designed with peonies or plum blossoms.

  • Pearl & Jade Hairpieces: Combining pearls and jade with gold details creates a timeless and refined bridal look.

  • Golden Hairpins (步摇, Buyao): Traditional Chinese dangling hairpins with floral or phoenix designs add vintage charm.


4. Red & Gold Never gets Old (Nail Art)

Even with the smallest details you can make your wedding vision a one one-of-a-kind show that reflects the Chinese New Year’s festive spirit. Here's some ideas on how to elevate those nails;

  • Double Happiness Symbol Accent Nail: A subtle but meaningful touch.

  • Red Nails with Gold Foil: Elegant and eye-catching, perfect for traditional weddings.

  • Cherry Blossom or Peony Designs: Inspired by flowers that symbolize love and beauty.


5. Earrings of the Past, Ready for the Future

Elements such as Peonies (The Flower of Romance and Prosperity), jade, phoenixes are considered staples in traditional Chinese weddings. They represent love, protection, and good luck. Incorporating these elements in your earring design will not only make you shine but also bring blessings to your marriage. Adding Chinese New Year-inspired accessories to your wedding look is a stylish way to embrace tradition while celebrating love, luck, and prosperity. Whether it's through symbolic jewelry, festive colors, or elegant hairpieces, these accessories will make your bridal look even more special.
