Asian wedding baskets are traditional, intricately designed containers, usually made of bamboo, wood, or rattan, and often lacquered in red to symbolize happiness and prosperity. They feature detailed carvings or embroidery with motifs like dragons, phoenixes, and peonies, representing good fortune and fertility. These baskets are used during weddings to carry gifts such as food, jewelry, and money, symbolizing the hope for a prosperous, harmonious, and fruitful marriage. Though less commonly used today, they remain cherished as decorative and symbolic heirlooms.
