KWA AND THE PHOENIX CROWN - THE CHINESE TRADITIONAL WEDDING COSTUME
Being Malaysian Chinese, we are proud to say that many Chinese brides still carry out a full, authentic Chinese tradition wedding, which includes the absolute tedious customaries, from picking auspicious dates for the wedding, setting up matrimonial bed, betrothal gift ceremony, hair combing ceremony, to fetching the bride, and prayers to ancestors, and etc.
We know, we know! It’s super tiring. But it’s great then because we remember our roots and practice them.

The Phoenix Crown
The Phoenix Crown is majestic enough as it is. But by adding lines of pearl beadings at the front, we enchance the intricacy of the entire piece. And we have fallen in love with this even more. :)

A Little About Chinese Tradition In Chinese weddings ritual, it is mandatory to be surrounded with red colours which represents good luck, prosperity, love, and it’s also believed to keep evil spirits away.
The Kua Kua (Kwan Kua ‘裙褂’) is a Chinese traditional wedding dress made of silk blouse and long skirt, in full red, embedded with intricate handcrafted beadings, embellished with dragons and phoenix embroidery which traditionally said to symbolize the balance of energy between male & female. The gold and silver thread embroidery are considered the most precious craftwork on the wedding dress which requires a highly skilful craftsperson to make. The Phoenix Crown During Ming Dynasty, the Phoenix Crown is worn by noblewomen during official ceremonies and yes brides too but made in different colours and decoration settings. In this modern time, The Phoenix Crown ‘鳳冠’ has been replaced with modern head jewellery. Thus, looking for a phoenix crown for a traditional Chinese wedding would be quite difficult.
