Chinese wedding baskets are known as betrothal baskets. They are traditionally used during the engagement or betrothal of the couple. The groom's family fills the tiers of the basket with dowry gifts for the bride's family, usually in even numbers. These gifts were traditional foods such as dried fruits, nuts, snacks, sewing materials, and red sheets. Each hand-carved motif signifies something important to the future of the couple. For example, the dragon and phoenix signifies success, prosperity, and a happy marriage.
