Bride in Red at Chinese Wedding in Shanghai Square Paper Coaster
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 emphasised 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laws of the People's Republic of China, Works enter the public domain 50 years after they were first published, or if unpublished 50 years from creation.

We were really pleased with how our product turned out. Design is great and quality is good. Recommend choosing a standard colour rather than a shade like we did.

Instead of ordering tickets for our paint night we decided to go with coasters for everyone's glass. It was perfect. Everyone loved their coasters most did not want to use but to keep has a memento enjoying both colors.
