Nestled in the heart of the city, Sichuan Dou Hua provided the perfect canvas for a wedding in Singapore that blended contemporary flair with timeless Eastern elegance. From the moment guests arrived, they were greeted by a striking red and orange palette—symbolic of prosperity, passion, and joy in Chinese culture. The warm glow of lanterns suspended from the ceiling cast dancing shadows across the lacquered wooden panels, setting the stage for an evening that balanced tradition with a modern twist.
Vibrant Red and Orange Palette
Red has long been the quintessential color for a wedding oriental celebration, but for this Sichuan Dou Hua wedding, we turned up the warmth by layering in rich orange accents. Tables draped in burnt-sienna linen were crowned with lantern-style candle holders, while silk ribbons in sunset tones framed the entrance—an invitation into a world where ancient customs meet contemporary design.
Classy and Elegant White & Green Florals
To soften the fiery backdrop, we introduced clusters of white and green florals that brought a breath of fresh air to the dining space. Oversized white peonies, crisp hydrangeas, and sprigs of silver dollar eucalyptus were artfully arranged in low vases, creating pockets of serenity amidst the bold color story. These chic white and green arrangements not only complemented the restaurant’s dark wood interiors but also echoed the couple’s desire for a balanced, modern aesthetic.
Culinary Delights: A Feast for the Senses
A Sichuan Dou Hua wedding isn’t complete without a journey through authentic Sichuan cuisine. Guests savored a thoughtfully curated menu featuring:
-
Chengdu-Style Cold Dishes – Delicate slices of lotus root and tongue-coating spicy beef tendon.
-
Sichuan “Mala” Hotpot Stations – Personalized broth levels from mild to tongue-numbing, served with premium wagyu beef and seasonal vegetables.
-
Signature Mapo Tofu – A velvety tofu dish finished with fermented black beans and a drizzle of fragrant Sichuan pepper oil.
-
Sweet Osmanthus Jelly – A light, floral-infused dessert to cleanse the palate and conclude the feast on a subtly sweet note.
Each course was plated on minimalist white porcelain, allowing the fiery hues of the food—and the décor—to shine through.
Personalized Touches & Cultural Traditions
To honor the couple’s heritage, a traditional tea ceremony took place near the entrance, with family elders offering blessings over delicate porcelain cups filled with jasmine tea. Custom-designed menus featured hand-brushed Chinese calligraphy, and each guest received a small red envelope (hongbao) as a token of good fortune.
