The celebration of love has gotta be one of the most lavish occasions you can think of. Whether it\u2019s an <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/outdoor-wedding-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">outdoor wedding<\/a> or one hosted in a <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/best-five-star-hotels-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hotel<\/a>, the venue will be decked out to the nines. You\u2019ve got <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/wedding-cakes-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">wedding cakes<\/a> that are gorgeous to look at and taste even better. Not to mention the bride stealing the show in her beautiful <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/wedding-cakes-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dress<\/a>. But wedding traditions in Singapore can be tricky.<\/p>\n<p>In our multicultural society, you\u2019re likely to get invited to more than one type of wedding. Wedding customs vary from family to family depending on their race and religion, and tend to blend with modern practices these days. But it\u2019s always better to be safe than sorry and avoid making a faux pas. For the uninitiated, here\u2019s a guide you can use as a rule of thumb.<\/p>\n<h2>How to navigate wedding traditions in Singapore<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Chinese weddings<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_273269\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-273269\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-273269 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/chinese-weddings-_-wedding-traditions-in-singapore-900x643.png\" alt=\"chinese weddings | wedding traditions in singapore\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/chinese-weddings-_-wedding-traditions-in-singapore-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/chinese-weddings-_-wedding-traditions-in-singapore-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/chinese-weddings-_-wedding-traditions-in-singapore.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-273269\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: East Meets Dress via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/wedding-cakes-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chinese weddings<\/a> are probably the most common type in Singapore. Despite modern twists in traditions, there are still some superstitions we can\u2019t ignore. For example, it\u2019s best to avoid black or white as they are colours of mourning in Chinese culture. You might want to avoid red too; that\u2019s a colour reserved for the bride. Instead, go for bright colours with a modest silhouette.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s also customary to prepare some cash as a gift for the couple &#8211; simply drop off your red packet in a box at the reception table. The amount is up to you but typically varies depending on the wedding venue. If you want to cover the couple&#8217;s wedding banquet cost, check online for the ballpark number. Tip: stick with auspicious numbers like eight. So you can offer amounts like $88, $188, or $588 (you get the idea). We also recommend being prepared for the hours-long banquet celebration. It can be a lengthy affair, but it\u2019s best to stay till the end when the couple and their parents say goodbye to guests as they file out.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Malay weddings<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_273270\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-273270\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-273270 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/malay-weddings-_-wedding-traditions-in-singapore-900x643.png\" alt=\"malay weddings | wedding traditions in singapore\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/malay-weddings-_-wedding-traditions-in-singapore-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/malay-weddings-_-wedding-traditions-in-singapore-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/malay-weddings-_-wedding-traditions-in-singapore.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-273270\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Gema Saputera via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If we could only describe <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/malay-weddings-in-singapore-guide-to-muslim-solemnisations-customs-and-reception-etiquette\/\">Malay weddings<\/a> in one word, it\u2019d be eventful. From the moment the couple gets engaged, families come together for parties to meet and celebrate. This also includes discussions on the dowry and wedding gifts. Traditionally, Malay weddings are held within void decks to embody the kampong spirit. But with modernisation and urbanisation, some of these practices have been adapted and moved to restaurants or hotels, though spirited festivities remain a constant.<\/p>\n<p>The bride and groom are treated like royalty for a day with lavish decor setups and service. Money offerings are made as a blessing to the couple, and the amount is up to you. Tip: you might want to consider the venue, food costs, and your familiarity with the couple when you prepare the money. Malay folks aren\u2019t superstitious about colours, but be sure to dress modestly as a sign of respect. And before all the activities wind up for the day, remember to step up to get a picture taken! The couple will be seated at a throne-like platform where friends and family are invited to come up to offer well wishes and take pictures.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Indian weddings<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_273271\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-273271\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-273271 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/Indian-weddings-_-wedding-traditions-in-singapore-900x643.png\" alt=\"Indian weddings | wedding traditions in singapore\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/Indian-weddings-_-wedding-traditions-in-singapore-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/Indian-weddings-_-wedding-traditions-in-singapore-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/Indian-weddings-_-wedding-traditions-in-singapore.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-273271\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Sean Williams via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you\u2019ve never been to an Indian wedding, be prepared for bursts of lively energy and celebrations that\u2019ll go on for days. That\u2019s right, days. Depending on how closely the couple chooses to adhere to traditions, wedding activities can take up to a week to complete. Indian weddings have a ton of steps to them. This includes ceremonies at a temple and other traditional practices. As a guest, we recommend keeping your calendar free for the day in case these intricate festivities overrun. It\u2019s good to prepare a sum of money depending on how close you are to the couple.<\/p>\n<p>How the food is served differs if you\u2019re going to a North or South Indian wedding. But expect an absolute feast of <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/wedding-cakes-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Indian<\/a> cuisine. If someone offers you food, it\u2019s good manners to accept it and sample the dish. Avoid saying no if possible. Indian weddings are also a great opportunity to gussy yourself up in <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/deepavali-shopping-indian-clothes-singapore\/\">traditional wear<\/a> like sarees and kurtas. Remember to be colourful and avoid wearing white. If you\u2019re attending the religious ceremonies within the temple, make sure you\u2019re dressed modestly with your legs and shoulders covered.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Christian weddings<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_273272\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-273272\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-273272 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/christian-weddings-_-wedding-traditions-in-singapore-900x643.png\" alt=\"church christian\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/christian-weddings-_-wedding-traditions-in-singapore-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/christian-weddings-_-wedding-traditions-in-singapore-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/christian-weddings-_-wedding-traditions-in-singapore.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-273272\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Eightpression via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>A wedding in a <a href=\"https:\/\/thehoneycombers.com\/singapore\/beautiful-iconic-churches-in-singapore\/\">church<\/a> is an especially beautiful affair, and even better when you know how to navigate it. We\u2019d suggest you arrive on time (or early) for the ceremony. Pews may be assigned depending on how closely related you are to the bride and groom. Just avoid the front few rows as those are reserved for family and close friends. If you\u2019re still uncertain, there are usually ushers within the building you can ask.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a religious space, so dress respectfully and appropriately. Depending on how strict the rules are, you may not be allowed to enter the premises if your attire is sloppy. You might want to wear covered shoes too. If you have any large and visible tattoos, your safest bet is to keep them covered up. It\u2019ll differ from couple to couple so if you\u2019re close to the bride or groom, you can always check in just to be sure. When the ceremony comes to an end, wait patiently for the bride and groom to exit before you go.<\/p>\n<h3>Other general wedding guidelines to keep in mind<\/h3>\n<figure id=\"attachment_273273\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-273273\" style=\"width: 900px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-273273 size-medium lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/wedding-traditions-in-singapore-2-900x643.png\" alt=\"weddings in singapore (2)\" width=\"900\" height=\"643\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/wedding-traditions-in-singapore-2-900x643.png 900w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/wedding-traditions-in-singapore-2-768x549.png 768w, https:\/\/static.thehoneycombers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/05\/wedding-traditions-in-singapore-2.png 1400w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/643;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-273273\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photography: Leonardo Miranda via Unsplash<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>1. RSVP early if possible! This assures that the couple will be expecting you and you\u2019ll have a spot at the reception.<\/p>\n<p>2. This may be an obvious one, but don\u2019t bring extra guests. Your invitation should state if you\u2019re welcome to bring a plus one, so reply accordingly. Yes, that includes kids. If you\u2019re unable to make it because of your children, the best thing to do is decline the invitation.<\/p>\n<p>3. Stay out of the photographer\u2019s way wherever possible. You\u2019re free to take one or two pictures for yourself, but the photographer was hired for a reason. Keep out of the way so the couple can have their memorable day immortalised.<\/p>\n<p>4. It\u2019s important to remember that while a wedding is a celebration for the bride and groom, it\u2019s also about their parents. If you can\u2019t tell whether something is inappropriate or not, a good gauge to decide is if the couple\u2019s parents will approve.<\/p>\n<p>5. Remember to keep yourself off your phone and avoid having conversations during the ceremony. Whispered or not, you&#8217;ll disturb other guests and may be seen as disrespectful.<\/p>\n<p>Now you know how to handle any kind of wedding in Singapore with grace.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ah, weddings in Singapore.
