The rules for lifting the red veil include: the bride's red veil cannot be lifted halfway, the groom must lift the red veil, and lifting the red veil cannot be done by hand.
1、 What are the requirements for a bride with a red veil
1. The bride's red veil cannot be lifted halfway
The bride's veil cannot be lifted halfway. There is a saying that goes: once the veil is lifted, disaster will inevitably arise. That is to say, from the moment the bride puts on the red veil, it should wait until it can be lifted, and lifting it halfway is considered unlucky.
2. The bride's red veil should be lifted by the groom
It is best for the bride's veil to be lifted by the groom, both emotionally and logically. It should not be casually lifted by others, but if there are specific local customs that allow others to lift it, they can also follow the customs. If not, it is still best for the groom to lift it.
3. The groom cannot lift the red veil with his hands
When the groom lifts the veil, he usually cannot use his hands, but instead uses auspicious objects such as jade ruyi or a weighing rod (also known as a happiness scale) to lift the bride's veil, symbolizing a happy marriage and life.
2、 Do we need to get married with a red veil now
Nowadays, newlyweds can decide whether to have a red headscarf based on local customs and personal preferences.
Because wearing a red wedding veil is a traditional custom in Chinese wedding culture, newlyweds generally do not need to wear a red veil when celebrating, and instead use a veil as a substitute.
But if you like traditional Chinese culture and want to hold a Chinese wedding, or if you want to hold a wedding ceremony in a Chinese DRESS, you can wear a red headscarf to deeply experience traditional customs.
