This double happiness decoration is a red 囍 character prop made from polyester, available in 40 cm (15.7 in) and 80 cm (31.5 in) sizes. It is designed for wedding tea ceremonies, engagement parties, photo backdrops, and bridal rooms.
囍 (shuāng xǐ in Chinese, song hỷ in Vietnamese) joins two 喜 (happiness) characters into one, representing a couple's joy shared together. It is the most recognizable symbol at Chinese weddings, and it is just as common in Vietnamese ceremonies, where it appears at the engagement ceremony and wedding day alongside red decorations and tea.
Red carries the luck and celebration that these ceremonies are built around. Placed behind the tea ceremony table, in the bridal room, or in the frame of your photos, a large red 囍 tells guests what the day is about before anyone says a word.
