The bride's face was covered with either a red silk veil or a “curtain” of tassels or beads that hung from the bridal Phoenix crown.

After completing her wedding preparations, the bride bowed to her parents and to the ancestral tablets and awaited the arrival of the bridal procession from the groom's house.
