Chopsticks

You can use chopsticks in lots of untraditional ways! Decorate your cake with them, or have tine replicas glued on to each menu. Add them to bouquets for an elegant touch. You can even have special chopsticks printed with your wedding details on them! Chinese take-out boxes are also increasingly popular as Asian-style party favors – fill them with candy for a contemporary touch!

Plants and Flowers

Decorate the tables with the elegantly beautiful orchid flower, which is also edible –so have it added to your menu list as part of a deliciously beautiful appetizer! Place lucky bamboo in the center of each table, or give it to guests in gorgeous rectangular vases as a take-home gift. Calla lilies are also great flowers for an oriental themed wedding and come in so many different colors!

Special Touches

Use traditional fans and parasols to create an Oriental theme. Red is the color of good luck, so use lots of red accessories, paired with an accent color of your choice – gold is a particularly stunning choice! Lucky coins are also a great touch! Use traditional tea or sake sets to serve non-traditional fare, such as appetizers! Paper lanterns in various sizes can be used to create a romantic atmosphere – either indoors or out. You can purchase lanterns in bulk. Add a variety of different colors and sizes at varying heights to make a truly fanciful setting. Don't forget the dress either. Asian style wedding dresses, such as Chinese and Japanese, will really add a lot to your theme!

Traditional Chinese Style

Traditionally, Chinese weddings include red “happiness banners” which are placed on both sides of the doors of the new couples new home, as well as their reception site. Happiness banners generally feature traditional Chinese writing, in a poem praising the new couple and wishing them a happy life together. Paper cut outs of the dragon, the phoenix, and Chinese characters are also found at many Chinese weddings! Consider incorporating these designs into your cake, your Asian style invitations, and your wall décor for a unique and modern style.

A Night to Remember

You can turn any venue into an Asian-inspired odyssey. Whether you or your fiancé have Asian roots, or you just love the artistic styling of eastern-inspired décor, you can create a memorable scene for your reception and ceremony. Use wall décor, table runners, and chair coverings to help add to your theme. You can even build a Chinese pagoda and have that as the background for your ceremony.

Whether you decide to add a bit of Asian styling to all aspects of your wedding or just a few, you will be creating an unforgettable event! The style of every aspect of your day will add to the theme, so remember to add little touches, such as Asian-inspired hand cream and soap in the bathroom. With a few bold statement pieces and several smaller touches, you will have created an oriental wedding day that will whisk your guests away into another time and place. Congratulations!
