Use different types of fans to pull off the look.
On your wedding day you want everything to be special. You may want a way to incorporate your ancestry into your wedding, but also want your wedding to be unique. Decorative fans can help you achieve a wedding that satisfies your Asian heritage while adding a unique edge to your wedding.
Centerpieces
Create centerpieces with fans as your main attraction instead of flowers. Use tiny bamboo fans as a floating device inside a glass bowl of water, and place a lit tea light on top. You could also use a single fan on each table as your centerpiece, and shape napkins into origami designs to pull off the look.
Use Color to Your Advantage.
Use your wedding colors to create one-of-a-kind fans that will stand out from the rest of your decor. For example, if you are using a mixture of light and dark colors you can use darker colors for the fans against a lighter background. The Knot, a leading website dedicated to weddings, suggests using crazy color combinations like tangerine and wasabi, strawberry and wine, or eggplant and burnt orange to create a unique wedding.
Bridesmaid Bouquet
Instead of your bridesmaids holding bouquets, consider using decorative Asian fans. Each bridesmaid could hold a different colored decorative fan. Fans make a dramatic statement, and provide relief for outdoor weddings says Bartley, an author of Wedding Style 101:10 Inventive Wedding Style Ideas.
Hire Fan Dancers
Hire fan dancers to entertain your guests at your reception. There are many Asian dances that use fans. Hiring a fan dancer will not only incorporate the fan decorations, but will also offer a unique historical moment. Have the dancer wear costumes that match the reception decor and carry unique colorful fans.
