The simple, rustic, and natural wedding gates made of coconut leaves are a unique feature of my hometown in the West. Since ancient times, the villagers have believed that the gate is the first place guests see when they come to a wedding.
Recently, my cousin from the city came back to the countryside to organize a wedding. I thought that since she has been living in the city for a long time, she would prefer the modern style of wedding gate decoration that is very easy to rent in town, the service provider will come and assemble it very quickly.
But a few days before the wedding, she called me and asked me to come over and help. She wanted to build the wedding gate herself out of coconut leaves.
The simple, rustic, and natural wedding gates made of coconut leaves are a unique feature of my hometown in the West. Since ancient times, the villagers have believed that the gate is the first place guests see when they come to a wedding.
Not only that, the gate is also a favorite photo spot for the bride and groom, both families, guests and friends. Therefore, the homeowner pays great attention to making the gate unique, both as a display of a work of art and creating a joyful, bright atmosphere to bless the young couple.
Western coconut leaf wedding gates are increasingly chosen by many families.
There was a long period of time in my hometown where I no longer saw the appearance of coconut leaf wedding gates like in the 2000s and before. The convenience of iron gates, plastic flowers, tables, chairs and complete cooking utensils made many people no longer favor coconut leaf wedding gates.
Especially when the skillful and skilled “workers” are gradually becoming scarce. I remember when I was young, all my uncle’s older cousins were “good with their hands”.
Every time there is a wedding in the family, the men gather together to build the tent and decorate the wedding gate. Just coconut leaves, banana trees and bunches of lilies, through their skillful hands, become a tent gate that makes guests from far away come to attend in awe.
But the absence of the interruption turned out to be the image of the coconut leaf wedding gate that has never disappeared. Now, among many choices of decoration for the big day of couples, many families in the West, including neighboring provinces and cities, have chosen the coconut leaf wedding gate, which is designed and decorated splendidly like a work of art.
Because what has been attached and entered the subconscious of the people will never be lost. The return and increasing care and popularity of coconut leaf wedding gates in modern times is proof that unique cultural features will always be preserved and maintained in one way or another.
