What do you need to prepare for a Chinese wedding?
As I'm getting married next year, I recently visited Tintin Marriage Forum and saw a post you need, so I posted it for your reference:

1. Sedan chair, as the core part of traditional wedding, has been popular since the Southern Song Dynasty. It can be carried by four people and eight people, and it can also be divided into dragon sedan chair and phoenix sedan chair. The sedan chair has a red curtain and a green cover, with dragons and phoenixes inserted on it and silk ears hanging at the four corners. Rich and powerful men get married with five sedan chairs and three sedan chairs. On the way to the man's wedding, the female wedding party takes one ride, and the other two rides are taken by the sedan chair child. The newest bride, the bride and groom who come back in a certain period of time each take a ride, and the other two take a blue sedan chair covered with blue woolen cloth and a copper top, and the groom's official and the best man each take a ride.

2. hijab: At a certain time in ancient times, the newest mother wore a rockhopper and a summer dress, and at the same time covered her head with red cloth to avoid evil spirits, which was red and auspicious.

Saddle: "Saddle" is homophonic with "An", which permanently means "no danger". Put it on the threshold of the bridal chamber to show that it is safe for the bride to get into the saddle. When the bride takes the first step at the threshold of learning, and her hind feet haven't landed yet, then the saddle is pulled out by two parents and children, which is exactly in line with the meaning of "a woman doesn't want an eyebrow, and a good horse is equipped with a double saddle".

3. brazier: it is a pot of fire placed in front of the gate to let the bride move forward, which means that the sun and the moon are prosperous after marriage.

4. Flag Gong umbrella fan: located in front of the wedding procession and floral decorations, it can make the whole wedding ceremony hot and spectacular.

5. firecrackers: on the way to the wedding ceremony car, firecrackers should be set off all the way to express congratulations.

6. Guan Feng Xia Di: People who marry girls pay attention to their wedding dresses, whether they are rich or poor. She wore a red coat, embroidered shoes, a belt decorated with tassels around her waist, an embroidered colorful skirt, a "rockhopper" made of ornaments such as pompoms, pearls and jade ornaments, and colorful satin embroidered with various auspicious patterns on her shoulders.

7. Tianhe floor table: often placed in the courtyard, the magnifying bucket, ruler, scissors, mirror, abacus and scale on the table are called "six certificates". It means: you can know how much food there is at home, how much cloth there is, how good the clothes are, what they look like, whether the accounts are clear, the weight of the goods, etc. Unofficially, there is only "three media (matchmaker) six certificates" to express a reasonable and legal way of getting married. A wedding ceremony is held in Jishi, commonly known as "meeting the bride", presided over by the steward, with one meeting the bride, one meeting the bride and three meeting the bride.

8. Weighbridge: After entering the bridal chamber, the groom uses the weighbridge to lift the bride's red veil, which means "content".

9. Candles: Pairs of paraffin wax that make the wedding ceremony red are lit in the hall and bridal chamber. Because there are many colorful decorations of gold, silver and dragons on it, it is called "candle".
