Chinese wedding album

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A Chinese wedding album is an elaborate book of pictures that became a part of Chinese weddings in the late 20th century.

The album usually consists of many pictures of the bride and groom taken at various locations with many different costumes. In Singapore, these costumes often include wedding costumes belonging to different cultures, including Arab and Japanese wedding costumes.

In contrast to Western wedding pictures, the Chinese wedding album usually does not contain pictures of the actual ceremony and wedding itself. In Hong Kong, however, pictures of the ceremony and wedding are taken as well.
