Wedding Cake
* The wedding cake could have a dragon and phoenix decoration on it. This is the way the smaller Happiness cakes were decorated. They used to be given to the bride's family by the groom's family as a proposal gift.
* Or simply adorn your cake with your favorite Chinese flowers and symbols.

Traditions
* The bride should not wear white. In Chinese culture, white is worn at funerals. The bride should choose red and black to be worn in the wedding. Red and black are for luck and prosperity.
* Wear Chinese style clothing to bring an authentic look to you wedding.
