According to traditional wedding customs, it is best for all items on the wedding day to be in even numbers, symbolizing that the newlyweds will be paired up and grow old together. Therefore, it is best for the wedding box to be in even numbers.
1、 Do we need two wedding boxes
Generally, two wedding boxes are needed, and the color of the boxes should be chosen as red, which will be more festive.
A wedding box used to hold important items (such as gold jewelry) and the bride's clothing needs to be kept by a dedicated person because on the wedding day, the newlyweds are very busy. If there is no dedicated person to keep this dowry box, there will be a mistake and it will be a huge loss.
Another wedding box contains some personal money given to the bride by the bride's parents. This money is used to show the groom that their daughter is a precious treasure in the family, and they will also treat her as a treasure when she marries into the groom's family, for emergency use by the daughter. It also indicates that the bride is not helpless in her family, mostly in savings or bank cards.
2、 The choice of wedding box
1. Leather box
The advantage of leather boxes is that they have a stylish appearance and a large volume. However, they have a major drawback of limited practicality and lack of decorative value in appearance.
2. Travel suitcase
Choose a brightly colored and atmospheric travel suitcase as the bride's wedding box, which can also hold some clothes or bedding.
3. Wooden traditional dowry box
The traditional wooden dowry box will have exquisite carvings on the outside, basically depicting the auspicious theme of dragons and phoenixes echoing the auspicious meaning of the wedding, highlighting the classical temperament and grandeur of the bride's home.
4. Jewelry box
Nowadays, few newlyweds bring physical dowry items. Generally, they choose gold jewelry or cash checks. Therefore, dowry boxes can be made of highly meaningful objects such as descendant buckets, which are not only convenient to carry but also very stylish.
