Wedding quilts pay attention to many things, such as color, pattern, quantity and so on. Although our family doesn't particularly care about others, it feels grand to think that this is a big event for children and to try to preserve traditional customs and make wedding quilts for children.
We chose a shop located on the B 1 floor of Xinjiekou Department Store, specializing in wedding quilts. Getting married is a once-in-a-lifetime thing for us. He's a professional. If we do what people recommend, we won't make mistakes.
Teacher Yang and I went to the store to see it. It was really retro: there was a large pattern of cloth hanging on the ceiling, and the spine of the book rushed out like a book in the library for easy retrieval; On the waist-high desk, there is a whole roll of printed cloth, and there is a long ruler and scissors next to it. Customers can cut as much as they want.
Of course, just like the store in those days, there was a skilled old lady in the store, who was quick in calculation and first-class. No matter what you plan to do, she will immediately calculate your most economical purchase size according to the fabric width you choose, and give you several plans, such as making sheets separately, making sheets with pillowcases, and even putting the bed against the wall or not. ......
Facing this elder sister, I was very modest and asked her a lot about the wedding quilt.
First of all, the elder sister told us that when she got married, the woman's family only accompanied two quilts, and the other quilts were prepared by the man's family.
When you get married, you must have a red wedding quilt and a green wedding quilt. This expression is "boys and girls". Other wedding quilts should also be bright and festive colors, such as pink, purple and burgundy.
The second thing to note is that the number of wedding quilts must be even, and there is no uniform regulation on the specific number, depending on local customs and family conditions of both parties, as long as it is even.
The number of wedding quilts in pairs means adding a little happiness to the married life of couples.
The third thing to note is that the weight of the wedding quilt is auspicious. Most wedding quilts are made of cotton. Usually, the thickness of the quilt is marked by the weight of cotton. People make wedding quilts into six kilograms or four kilograms, which means "nothing happened" or "good luck".
Nowadays, although the quilt made of silk or down is light and warm, it is still the most comfortable quilt for sleeping.
After careful consideration, this time we decided to make two quilts weighing four pounds for our daughter.
After listening to some precautions explained by my elder sister, Mr. Yang and I have a little idea.
The next step is to choose quilt cover. The wedding quilt pattern is festive. There are no fewer than 100 kinds of wedding quilts displayed in the store, and the patterns are particularly festive. Mr. Yang and I prefer these three models, namely, map, rich peony and auspicious dragon and phoenix.
In the end, Teacher Yang made a decision and decided on the traditional hand-painted quilt cover of dragon and phoenix silk, one red and one green. Each quilt cover 1999 yuan, one quilt nearly 4000 yuan, plus the cost of cotton tires, mesh cloth, quilt lining and hand-making, two quilts1* * 5600 yuan.
Later, we customized two sets of four-piece high-woven quilts for the children in the store, one set of matte blue and one set of rubber powder. The design is also more festive, but in order to facilitate their daily use after marriage, it is a lot of low-key.
In the whole process of customizing wedding quilts, I especially respect Teacher Yang's opinion.
It is said that his daughter was his father's lover in his last life. When sending his daughter to get married, Mr. Yang must be in a bad mood, and sometimes he is a little grumpy like a child.
As a mother, my mood is completely different. From the day my daughter was born, I hope someone in this world can love her and treat her tenderly like me.
Therefore, when I confirmed that my daughter had met true love, my heart was full of gratitude.
No matter how complicated Mr. Yang and I are, we have spent such a large sum of money to customize our marriage.
Customizing wedding quilts for daughters is not only to ensure their married life, but also to express their parents' wedding wishes to their children!
