Tam and Vivian were our lovely models for this styled shoot. Although this wedding was just for the cameras, they are a happy, real-life couple! This styled shoot was meant to show the most important aspects of a traditional Vietnamese wedding - from the traditional clothing, to the gifts carried by the groom's family members, to the incense and vows at the altar, the red umbrella carried in the wedding procession, and more. These were all provided and styled by Dream Floral Art.

Many modern Vietnamese couples now have their wedding ceremony in temples or churches; however, they still keep with tradition in the bride’s home before heading to these other venues. The traditional attire is the áo dài, a long shirt with pants, which can be customized through color, embellishments, sleeves and more.

Traditionally, the couple or their parents go to a fortuneteller to find out the best date and time for their wedding.

A Vietnamese wedding is important to both the couple and their families and has Confucian and Buddhist influences. There are many components to a Vietnamese wedding but two of the main ones are the lễ ăn hỏi, or bethrothal ceremony, to the lễ cưới, or wedding ceremony. 

A Vietnamese wedding is important to both the couple and their families and has Confucian and Buddhist influences. Prior to the wedding is the Le An Hoi when the groom's family brings the bride and her family betrothal presents, typically covered with red cloth. On the wedding day is the Le Cuoi, a gift-bearing parade led by the couple deemed most successful so as to wish the soonlyweds a blessed life together.

Most Buddhist weddings actually do not take place in a temple, especially since it is not a particularly religious ceremony. Instead, they're typically hosted at home or in a rented space. Symbols are always showcased, like a gold Buddha surrounded by incense and candles or those of the couple's traditional culture.

Much of the personalization in the wedding details and attire will come from the couple's traditional cultures and heritage.

Need vendors for your Buddhist wedding? These pros specialize in this style.

Buddhist weddings have typically eschewed religion throughout history as they are considered a very personal choice, not a religious duty. Therefore, these weddings are very joyful, unique to the couple and combine modern practices with traditional rituals.

Buddhist weddings are most common in India, Asia and Southeast Asia so each wedding contains local customs that will differ depending on the location. All Buddhist weddings will likely have a grand reception with plenty of dishes and live music, but couples in Cambodia may bind their wrists with string during the ceremony, while Japanese couples may partake in sipping three cups of rice wine. Other weddings may pay tribute to the multiculturalism of Buddhism and include multiple countries' tradtions.
