The four types of dried fruits for weddings generally refer to red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds (some places also like to use chestnuts). When they are combined together, they symbolize "having a precious child early". These four types of dried fruits are foods that many weddings prepare.
What foods are included in the fruit platter prepared for marriage
A wedding fruit platter can hold fruits such as grapes, apples, persimmons, oranges, longan, and lotus seeds. These fruits have good homophones, excellent colors and meanings.
Grapes: full of children and grandchildren;
Apple: Safe and secure;

Longan lotus seeds: give birth to precious seeds early.
In addition to red dates, peanuts, longan, and lotus seeds, the following can also be prepared in a dried fruit platter:

Walnut: Wishing the newlyweds a harmonious and peaceful marriage.
