Peranakan Wedding Theme
We’re all for a cultural wedding theme, but a multicultural wedding means doubling the happiness! Largely based on Chinese tradition with Malay, Thai, and Burmese influences, a Peranakan wedding is one of the fascinating and colourful wedding ceremonies around town. What used to be a twelve-day long celebration is now more simplified – but some rituals managed to withstand the test of time, such as the Chinese wedding ritual of hair combing ceremony and tea ceremony. On the wedding day, the matron of ceremony seats the couple on a bed, under which a basket containing a rooster and a hen is placed. According to Peranakan belief, if the rooster comes out first, it signifies that the first born will be a boy! Though traditions are essential to a Peranakan wedding, fine details and ornaments are equally important, so be sure to surround yourself with a colourful galore of beautiful Nyonya kebaya, kasut manik (beaded shoes), fine Nyonya porcelain ware, bakul siah (dowry trays) and delicious Peranakan cuisine. Opt for this theme, and we promise that this would be one to remember for a lifetime.
