In China, people wear black or white on funerals, so it used to be unacceptable to wear white on wedding. However, things have changed a lot, white wedding dress is often wear by the bride, also there is normally a red dress which the bride may have a change.

From ancient times, Chinese people regarded red color as the symbol of auspicious, signifying reunion, health, happiness, harmony, peace and prosperity.

A Wedding is one of the most important events for people, they light red lanterns & candle, set red fireworks, wear red clothes, pasting in red paper cut... to wish the bride and groom a happy and perfect live after marriage.

While white and black is widely used on funeral, people wear white cloth with black tie on hand, decorated the hall in white and black. Relatives may set chrysanthemum to the death. it is influenced by the western country.

Because in chinese eyes,white is a pure color,it represents ominous,but also like white and black color is a serious color,they should avoid in a wedding .While,red color is a good one for wedding,red represents lucky,so if you are going to a wedding,you should wear a red one.

It would all depend on the budget you have for the wedding. Usually people like to have large ones as weddings dont happen many times in a lifetime. However, some people cannot make it happen due to money. The best thing is to decide a budget and consult a wedding planner on the scale.
