Wedding Gifts

In Chinese tradition, few motifs carry as much matrimonial meaning as the Double Happiness character - formed by placing two identical characters for 'joy' side by side, the character comes to represent two lives becoming one. A  union of two souls & the wish for doubled joy, harmony & prosperity in marriage.

It is a symbol used exclusively for nuptials, traditionally found on wedding decorations, red envelopes & gifts for the bride & groom.

The butterfly is another recognised symbol which depicts love, romance & fidelity. In Chinese art, butterflies often appear in pairs, representing devoted love & marital harmony.

When two butterflies face each other, they symbolise a joyful encounter & the happiness of a married couple. The butterfly is also associated with joy & longevity, making it an auspicious blessing for any new marriage.

Our hand-made Ginger Jars & Lamps are truly one of a kind & make a gift as unique as the couple being celebrated.

They are heirloom pieces that can be treasured for years to come - a present that is practical as well as beautiful & full of meaning, one which tells a story, depicts life-long happiness & honours heritage.
