Ideas for an Asian Wedding with Fans
- Create centerpieces with fans as your main attraction instead of flowers. Use tiny bamboo fans as a floating device inside a glass bowl of water, and place a lit tea light on top. You could also use a single fan on each table as your centerpiece, and shape napkins into origami designs to pull off the look.
- Use your wedding colors to create one-of-a-kind fans that will stand out from the rest of your decor. For example, if you are using a mixture of light and dark colors you can use darker colors for the fans against a lighter background. The Knot, a leading website dedicated to weddings, suggests using crazy color combinations like tangerine and wasabi, strawberry and wine, or eggplant and burnt orange to create a unique wedding.
- Instead of your bridesmaids holding bouquets, consider using decorative Asian fans. Each bridesmaid could hold a different colored decorative fan. Fans make a dramatic statement, and provide relief for outdoor weddings says Bartley, an author of Wedding Style 101:10 Inventive Wedding Style Ideas.
- Hire fan dancers to entertain your guests at your reception. There are many Asian dances that use fans. Hiring a fan dancer will not only incorporate the fan decorations, but will also offer a unique historical moment. Have the dancer wear costumes that match the reception decor and carry unique colorful fans.
