Recently, Yancheng ushered in a unique wedding feast – a vegetable and fruit themed wedding. This novel and unique wedding not only broke the inherent pattern of traditional weddings, but also attracted the attention and heated discussion of many newlyweds with its green, environmentally friendly, healthy and fashionable concepts. According to many sources, this is the first time that Yancheng has tried such a themed wedding, marking an innovation and breakthrough in the form of weddings.
For this reason, the Yangtze Evening News/Ziniu News reporter interviewed the wedding company that organized the wedding banquet. The company’s boss Yan Zi (pseudonym) said that this kind of themed wedding had been heard of in Shanghai, Zhejiang and other places before, but it was the first time in Yancheng. The planning inspiration for this innovative wedding came from the strong pursuit of personalized weddings by newlyweds born after 1995 and 2000. They are eager to break the tradition and find a wedding form that fits their own aesthetics and values, which perfectly caters to the young generation’s yearning for natural health and unique style.
In terms of wedding arrangements, the planning team made a lot of preliminary preparations to ensure the ideal effect. Not only did they carefully draw the design drawings, but they also extensively consulted online guides and invited professional florists to provide on-site guidance. From the selection of vegetables to fruits, everything has been carefully considered. For vegetables, pumpkins, bell peppers, eggplants, cauliflowers, beans, garlic sprouts, corn, etc. were placed, and for fruits, dragon fruit, kiwi, watermelon, apples, bananas and other colorful and diverse fruits and vegetables were placed, together creating a wedding scene as fresh and beautiful as the “Monet Garden”. Each wine table is also decorated with flowers to create a natural and romantic atmosphere.
Talking about the cost, the boss of the wedding company said that compared with weddings with pure flower arrangements, the cost of vegetable and fruit theme weddings is relatively low and more affordable, but it is still higher than ordinary weddings. The total cost of the entire arrangement and purchase of fruits and vegetables is about 50,000 yuan. (Note: To ensure freshness, vegetables and fruits are purchased on the wedding day, costing nearly 7,000 yuan) Despite this, its uniqueness and visual effects still make many newlyweds willing to pay for it. When the wedding was talked about, the guests praised this novel form. The unprecedented experience filled the scene with surprises, and the excellent visual effects were impressive. Guests can also take their favorite fruits and vegetables home after the wedding, which greatly enhanced their sense of participation. Children in particular were attracted by this interesting and fun form and immersed in it.
The reporter also connected with the newlywed groom, Mr. Wang said happily: “Because we are all young people, my wife is a post-00s, our idea is to let everyone participate in the whole wedding better, rather than just having a meal, and hope that the guests will have more participation. At the same time, the overall theme of such a pastoral fruit and vegetable is more in line with everyone’s pursuit of a healthy life.”
For this novel and special wedding form, the reporter made a special trip to interview the Yancheng Civil Affairs Bureau. A staff member named Jia was interviewed. He said that as a relevant department, it is very sure that it also encourages newcomers to explore this new wedding form, which is also an innovation in itself, and young people are happy to accept it. The Civil Affairs Bureau has been actively promoting the reform of marriage customs. In Dongtai the year before last and in Dafeng last year, special weddings with collective Chinese wedding vows were held to encourage young people to get married.
As for whether vegetable and fruit themed weddings will become a popular trend in the future, industry insiders said that there is a possibility, but emphasized that the successful holding of such weddings requires close cooperation from multiple parties. The on-site wedding host needs to accurately control the process, the wedding company staff must work closely together, and all guests must abide by the order and not take vegetables and fruits at will during the wedding process, and distribute them uniformly after the wedding. With the continuous improvement of the younger generation’s demand for personalization, vegetable and fruit themed weddings may occupy an increasingly important position in the wedding market in the future, bringing unique wedding experiences to more newlyweds and leading the wedding industry.
