Finding your special date to say ‘I do’

Choosing your wedding date is one of the first (and sweetest) steps in your wedding journey. It marks the beginning of everything that follows — from the planning, to the excitement, to the countdown to your special day. Here are a few ways to find that special date for you and your love.

Meaningful date
A meaningful date could be your first date, your proposal date or the day you officially got together. There’s something so romantic about getting married on a date that already holds memories.

Special Number date
Think 10/10, 12/12, or Valentine’s Day — they’re cute, easy to remember, and perfect for anniversaries later on. These dates are really popular. Venues, photographers, and even makeup artists get booked way in advance, and prices can sometimes be higher too. If you have your eyes on a special date like that, it’s best to plan early (at least one to two years ahead!).

Auspicious date
Last but not least — a date chosen just for the two of you. Through a geomancy (feng shui) service, a laoshi can calculate the most auspicious dates based on both your bazi (birth date and time). The laoshi will also advise which zodiacs clash on each date, so you can pick one that has the least conflicts — taking into consideration you, your partner, and immediate families.

The laoshi will also share the auspicious timings for each date. If possible, go for a date with a more ideal timing — after all, a 10am gate crash is always lovelier than a 5am one 😉 Please note: sharing bazi with the laoshi is needed for the calculation. Since bazi is personal, you may wish to discuss it beforehand, as some might feel uncomfortable sharing.

Avoid dates that fall during 中元节 also known as the Hungry Ghost Festival, usually in the seventh lunar month, as well as Qing Ming, which typically occurs in April. If you are unsure, you can always google or drop us a DM on Instagram.

We still remember how special it felt, marking the calendar and imagining how the day would look and feel. There’s something so magical about choosing your date — it’s where your story officially begins. What is your thoughts on this? Let us know.
