Not brilliant lacquer offering trays or elaborate dragon and phoenix trays, the bride and groom chose for themselves a tray of bamboo baskets. This is the idea of Nguyen Hoai Linh - a bride in Thai Phu, Soc Son and her family. Both approachable and rarely done anywhere, the tray of bamboo baskets is chosen as a symbol of endurance and closeness.
In particular, instead of preparing offerings that can only be used once, the couple decided to buy items that can still be used as betrothal gifts after the wedding such as blankets, cosmetics, rice... Besides, each offering trap carries a deep and unique meaning.
Rice husks symbolize the sustainability of the family. Pigs symbolize prosperity and fullness. Trap chiec, blankets and sheets with the desire for a peaceful married life later. Chickens symbolize hard work and alcohol is a string that expresses the bond and passion of both families," Ms. Linh shared.
Each carrying pole has a different meaning, showing the meticulousness and enthusiasm of the couple for the important event of their lives. A ceremony with a unique feature, making everyone present feel both strange, close and familiar.
Without being ostentatious, the bamboo basket set still shines in its own way, very close and meaningful. A engagement ceremony imbued with rural features, full of sincerity and sustainability that the young couple wants to entrust into their marriage.
