We had cocktail hour out on the deck surrounding the carousel. Our rain plan was to have cocktail hour inside near the entry way. We had it buffet style so the long tables were set up with food and people self served. I hired a DOC because I had a big wedding and there were multiple parts to our wedding day including a Traditional Cambodian ceremony and the Western ceremony on the beach. I also planned the wedding down to the details with quite a few DIY projects so I wanted everything to be executed perfectly. My DOC was the second best investment (after my photographers) because they gave me complete peace of mind. They did everything from bringing my bridal party coffee to picking up my bouquet (because I forgot it at home)They all handled all of the final payments and did everything in between. I recommend it if you want a stress free evening.

My knowledge of the historical signific...Hi Katie,<br /><br />My knowledge of the historical significance or symbolism behind the traditional wedding garments worn is somewhat limited but What I do know might help with your research. The traditional wedding garments are meant to imitate what Cambodian royalty wore - which is why the bride and groom are treated like a Prince and Princess! As a result Gold and Silver are the two most popular colors worn by the bride and groom. Bright colors are part of our rich cultural heritage. Black is considered taboo which is why even guests attending the Cambodian ceremonies do not wear black. Silk, a highly regarded material is most commonly used in wedding garments and special occasion clothing. Premium quality lace (introduced by the French) is also popularly used too. Ethnic Chinese Cambodian also choose to wear Red during the ceremony. As Red symbolizes happiness. If you see small details worn by the bride like gilded gold dragon bracelets or gold snake details in the ornate jewelry, it is symbolic of the folklore origin story of Cambodia - The Naga (Snake) Princess. As for the sash, it is called a Sbaay or S'baayt usually made from Silk or lace is usually worn over a silk or lace fabric blouse. For instance, Lace Sbaay over Silk Blouse combo and vice versa. The skirt is called a Sampot Chang Kben (worn by both bride and groom) and paired with a blouse (I don't know the proper name). Sampot is similar to the commonly worn Sarong but made from a Silk fabric and the Chang Kben part of the name refers to the special belt or material used to tie/fasten the skirt so it provides a perfect fit for the bride and groom. Sometimes the bride may wear a single piece dress known as a Kahen layered with the sash/Sbaay and jewelry. I have a link below which provides more details of the Sampot/skirt. The different patterns you may see in the silk fabrics, most have a Buddhist tie/religious reference. Hope this helps! <br /><br />http://khmerfashion.blogspot.com/2008/05/khmer-traditional-dresses-understanding.html<br /><br /> Monihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07519799450309117124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8269526642856421956.post-46232011984919222292014-02-13T17:28:06.056-08:002014-02-13T17:28:06.056-08:00Dear Moni,

Our group is trying to implement both traditional Cambodian wedding styles, and American styles. Part of our process is finding out more about the traditional styles, but we are having a hard time finding scholarly resources. Would you be willing to provide some information on what certain garments are called such as the sash, the dress, or any other traditional Cambodian garments worn on the day of the wedding and what they symbolize?

A few grand is sufficient for a wedding. 5k or more will be a lavish affair for a large wedding. Location also determines prices too as PP and Siem Reap is more tourist friendly, prices and packages are comparably higher although there are more options. It will cost MORE to bring her here than it would be to have a wedding in Cambodia. Generally the bride's side will make the arrangements with the dowry received by the groom and his family. My advice is to have a 1 day wedding...two days IS very time consuming, stressful and exhausting for both the bride and groom.

You can reach me via Acromony@gmail.com As for the Khmer vendors I used, they are mostly local (Providence/Fall River) area. I can forward you the info the vendor you are looking for via e-mail. As for the palm flower, that was a gift from my mother in law, she brought it from Southern Cali. All other florals used were from Whole Foods University in Providence. My other vendors are listed on one side of the blog including the person who designed out modern Cambodian wedding invitations. I have blank pdf. if you want to use them. Most of the decor, I found on www.lunabazaar.com and via Etsy (vendors listed on blog) or Ebay.
