Wedding ribbon

"As people migrated to America, they brought their traditional customs
with them.

Chinese weddings use red, pink, and lavender flowers and ribbons. White
ribbons and flowers are never used because they signify death. Red is
considered good luck at a Chinese wedding; therefore, it is a prominent color
when choosing flowers or decorating."
