Tea Ceremony

I love the excitement, fun and tradition that comes hand in hand with a Chinese wedding. For those who are not familiar with tea ceremonies, in a nutshell it's a way for the bride and groom to honor their families and for their relatives to extend words of love, advice and present red envelopes (normally known as 'ang pows') with jewellery or money to the couple. The festive day is normally decorated in red to bring good fortune and luck. Red signifies love, joy and prosperity.
