However, in recent years, more and more people began to accept simple wedding forms, especially under the influence of the epidemic, more couples and families began to turn to low-cost and low-waste wedding methods. In fact, according to the 2020 wedding trend report released by Knot in the United States, more and more couples choose to hold their weddings at home or in outdoor natural venues, and at the same time use simple decoration and DIY elements to increase the sense of ceremony and interest.
Next, I will explain the wedding forms in people's minds and the acceptability of simple weddings from the following three aspects:
Social and cultural factors
The meaning and form of wedding vary greatly in different cultures and societies. For example, in China's traditional concept, the wedding is an important ceremony that reflects the family inheritance and ancestor worship, and it needs to fully display the wealth and status of the new couple and family. In western culture, weddings pay more attention to the couple's personality and emotional experience, emphasizing romance and ritual.
Wedding expenses and waste
With the improvement of social environmental awareness and the change of consumption concept, more and more people begin to pay attention to the cost and waste of weddings. According to a survey by The Knot, an American wedding website, in 2020, the average wedding expenses in the United States will be $65,438+$0.9 million, and some cities even exceed $50,000. In China, the average wedding expenses in most cities are more than 654.38 million yuan. These high wedding expenses not only bring great economic pressure to the couple and their families, but also cause problems of waste and resource consumption.
Social and image needs
Traditionally, in addition to the above three aspects, there are other factors that will also affect people's views on wedding forms. For example, personal economic status, family background, social circle, etc., may have an impact on people's wedding concept. In addition, personal personality and preferences will also determine their choice of wedding form to a certain extent.
The acceptability of simple wedding actually changes with the change of social and economic environment. In some regions and cultures, simple weddings have always been the mainstream form. For example, in some African and Asian countries, a simple wedding is usually a more practical and economical choice. In western society, with the rise of environmental protection and minimalism, more and more people begin to accept simple wedding forms.
Generally speaking, the wedding form is a complex topic, which is influenced by many factors. However, with the change of social and economic environment, more and more people begin to accept simple wedding forms, especially in today's growing awareness of environmental protection and economy. Therefore, for newcomers, choosing a wedding form suitable for themselves and their families, whether gorgeous or simple, should be a free and respectful choice.
