Planning a wedding can be one of the most joyous, yet overwhelming experiences in life. Whether someone is newly engaged or deep in the throes of preparation, there’s always something to learn — especially when incorporating meaningful cultural traditions. This May, TANGS is offering couples in Singapore a unique opportunity to take a deep dive into Chinese wedding customs through their exclusive Wedding Workshops held at TANGS at Tang Plaza.
These events are not just informative but also immensely helpful for those who want their big day to be respectful, culturally grounded, and beautifully executed. Taking place on 10 May 2025 and 24 May 2025, these workshops are ideal for brides- and grooms-to-be, as well as families who want to ensure they’re aligned with customs and etiquette.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes these workshops a must-attend event and why skipping it might just mean missing out on essential know-how and some delightful perks.
What to Expect at the TANGS Wedding Workshops?
TANGS has long been a trusted name in Singapore when it comes to curated events, quality retail offerings, and impeccable customer service. Their Wedding Workshops continue this tradition by helping couples feel confident and informed in planning culturally rich and meaningful ceremonies.
Here’s what participants can look forward to during these informative sessions:
1. Guo Da Li Traditions: Make a Lasting Impression
Guo Da Li (过大礼) is one of the most important pre-wedding customs in Chinese culture. It’s not only a ceremonial gesture of goodwill from the groom’s family to the bride’s family but also a symbol of respect and sincerity. At the workshop, experts will provide detailed guidance on how to prepare for this tradition. Attendees will learn what to include in the gift sets, how to select auspicious items, and tips to ensure the in-laws are truly impressed with their understanding and effort.
Why this matters? Because understanding Guo Da Li isn’t just about following tradition — it’s about bridging families and creating lasting impressions that show consideration and respect.
2. Tea Ceremony Essentials: A Timeless Tradition Done Right
The tea ceremony remains a cornerstone of traditional Chinese weddings. It’s more than just serving tea — it’s a heartfelt way for couples to show gratitude to their elders and to receive blessings. At this TANGS session, couples will receive insights on the proper etiquette, clothing choices, ceremonial sequence, and symbolic items needed to carry out a meaningful tea ceremony.
This part of the workshop is especially valuable for those who want to honour their heritage while also personalising the ceremony to reflect modern sensibilities.
3. Bridal Dowry Insights: Understanding the Meaning Behind the Gifting
Dowries can be a confusing part of traditional Chinese weddings, especially for modern couples who may not have grown up steeped in these practices. The TANGS workshop will demystify the purpose and significance behind bridal dowries, explain what should be included, and guide couples on how to prepare them properly.
This portion is perfect for those who want to ensure their preparations are both respectful and in line with current expectations — and yes, there’s a balance to be found between tradition and practicality.
Why Should You Attend?
Here’s why this workshop should be on every couple’s calendar this May:
1. Expert Knowledge You Won’t Easily Find Online
While there’s an abundance of wedding content online, much of it lacks depth when it comes to cultural traditions. These workshops provide first-hand knowledge from professionals who have helped countless couples navigate the intricacies of a traditional Chinese wedding. It’s not just information; it’s wisdom gained through real experience.
2. A Chance to Ask Personal Questions
Every couple’s situation is unique, whether it’s navigating blended family expectations or adapting customs across different dialect groups. The workshop setting allows for open discussions and Q&A opportunities, so couples walk away with tailored advice they can actually apply.
3. Exclusive Free Goodie Bag Worth $40
As an added bonus, each participant will receive a complimentary goodie bag worth $40, packed with useful wedding-related items. Whether it’s samples, vouchers, or accessories, it’s a small but thoughtful reward for investing in their wedding journey.
4. A Comfortable, Supportive Setting
Hosted at TANGS at Tang Plaza, the workshop takes place in a serene and supportive retail space, ideal for absorbing information without the pressure of a sales pitch. Attendees are there to learn, not to be sold to, and the relaxed atmosphere reflects this philosophy.
5. Limited Slots — Intimate & Focused
Unlike massive wedding fairs or expos, these workshops are intentionally kept small so that every participant receives the attention they deserve. It’s a chance to connect, share, and explore ideas without the chaos and distraction that larger events tend to bring.
Who Should Attend?
-
Engaged couples looking to incorporate Chinese traditions into their wedding
-
Parents of the bride or groom who want to support their children through meaningful customs
-
Wedding planners who want to deepen their cultural knowledge and offer clients more nuanced advice

Final Thoughts
In today’s increasingly modern wedding landscape, it’s refreshing — and meaningful — to see couples returning to tradition, not out of obligation, but out of genuine appreciation for cultural heritage. TANGS is making that journey easier by curating a well-thought-out workshop that blends tradition, education, and community.
From making a strong impression on future in-laws with Guo Da Li traditions to nailing the etiquette for the tea ceremony and understanding bridal dowry essentials — this event is more than just a workshop. It’s a thoughtful, enriching experience that helps couples approach their wedding day with confidence and authenticity.
Don’t miss the chance to walk away with expert knowledge, helpful resources, and even a goodie bag in hand — all while making one of life’s biggest moments even more special.
