The bride bought the wedding red box. The wedding red box, also known as the dowry box, contains the bride's dowry and some personal items such as jewelry, money, clothing, daily necessities, etc., representing the parents' love and blessings for their daughter. Therefore, the wedding red box is usually prepared by the bride herself.
1、 How many wedding red boxes should I buy
1. One
The red wedding box is often used to hold bedding, daily necessities, clothing, and other items. If one suitcase can hold everything, then buying one is also acceptable.
2. Two of them
Weddings emphasize pairing up, and it is best to buy suitcases with even numbers, two or four, symbolizing that good things come in pairs. Usually, most families buy two red boxes, one for storing large items such as blankets, bowls, and chopsticks, and the other for packing money, jewelry, and other valuables.
3. Not buying
In some regions of our country, there is no need to buy a suitcase for marriage. The dowry is delivered to the new house or the groom's house before marriage. If there are no specific customs in the local area or if there is no need for it, it is not necessary to buy it.
2、 What style of wedding red box to buy
1. Leather box
Compared to other materials, leather boxes are more high-end and spacious, and have a large capacity, making it easy to place large items such as blankets, pillowcases, tableware, etc. However, due to the fact that leather boxes are usually designed with an upward opening lid, they tend to take up space and have low practicality.
2. Travel suitcase
The suitcase is equipped with universal wheels, which makes it easy to transport and does not require too much manpower and energy. You can find one or two friends to help drag it, and it can be used for honeymoon travel or business trips after marriage, with high cost-effectiveness.
3. Wooden box
Wooden dowry boxes usually have exquisite carvings and a strong classical style, making them suitable for families holding Chinese weddings. They can add icing on the cake to the wedding, showcasing the grandeur and elegance of the bride's home. In the future, they can also be used as artistic ornaments in the home.
4. Jewelry box
Nowadays, young people rarely bring large physical dowries when getting married, and they are usually placed in the new house before marriage. On the wedding day, most families will use small items such as cash, credit cards, and jewelry as dowry items. At this time, a small jewelry box can be used for easy carrying, and it can also be placed on the DRESSing table for decoration after marriage.
