With their bridal party 🤍
Running into each other, laughing, and holding onto the excitement of the day
The people who have grown up with them, supported them, and stood beside them through every chapter leading up to this moment
So much love and familiarity in one space
Moments like these remind you how special it is to be surrounded by your people ✨

Entering Francis’ home 🏮
Greeted by his parents and welcomed in by family, the space felt warm and familiar
Tea was shared together, followed by a beautiful moment as his mum gifted jewellery to Jennifer, a quiet gesture that said so much
The two of them later shared a few words that filled the room with emotion, a moment that really stayed with everyone
It felt heartfelt, genuine, and full of love
A really special continuation of the day ✨

The moment she is brought forward 🌹
A quiet and meaningful moment as she is led out by her father and mother to begin the tea ceremony
Standing beside Francis, surrounded by family, as two lives and two families come together
Paying respect to her ancestors, and offering tea to her parents in gratitude for everything they have given her
A moment of blessings, of letting go, and of stepping into a new chapter
The jewellery ceremony, a symbol of love and a heartfelt welcome into a new family
These are the moments that hold so much meaning, beyond what words can fully capture

🧨 Francis arriving at Jennifer’s home with his family
Trays of gifts in hand, welcomed by the sound of firecrackers and a bridal party in matching gold áo dài
And of course… he wasn’t getting in that easily
The bridesmaids had a few games ready
Pushups, grapes, teamwork and a lot of laughs along the way
Such a fun and lively start to the day, bringing both families together before the ceremony begins
🎎 Part 2 of BTS with Jennifer and Francis
From empty rooms to a home full of colour love and meaning
Every detail in red and gold placed with care to honour tradition
Watching the space come together is always special
A few hours of preparation turning a home into a place ready for memories that will last a lifetime

Jennifer ❤️
The calm before the day, surrounded by love and laughter
She has such a beautiful spirit - kind, patient, and full of joy that lights up every room
In the days leading up to the tea ceremony, her family carefully prepared the space. Every detail, including the outdoor arch, was placed with love and intention, creating a home ready to celebrate something so meaningful
Red, gold, and tradition blending seamlessly with love
We feel so honoured to share these moments as part of Keeping Tradition Couples 🌸

The elegance of the Vietnamese Ao Dai, paired with timeless hair and soft bridal glam.
Red for tradition. White for purity. Both beautiful in their own way.

Tết may only last a few days… but Vietnamese culture carries celebration throughout the entire year
From the fresh beginnings of Tết Nguyên Đán,
to the glowing lanterns of Nguyên Tiêu,
to the meaningful mid-year traditions of Đoan Ngọ,
and the joyful laughter of children at Trung Thu…
Each celebration reminds us of who we are.
Of family.
Of ancestors.
Of community.
At Keeping Tradition, we believe culture isn’t just worn — it’s lived. It’s passed down. It’s celebrated in small moments and big milestones alike.
Tết may mark the beginning… but tradition continues all year long.
Which celebration does your family hold closest to heart?
The first three days of Tết each hold their own special meaning 🧧
🌸 Mùng 1 – The Most Important Day
A day for immediate family. Staying home, welcoming the first visitor of the year, wearing new clothes, giving lì xì, and starting the year with positive energy
🌼 Mùng 2 – Connection and Celebration
A day to visit relatives and close friends, strengthening bonds and sharing laughter, meals, and well wishes for the year ahead
🍊 Mùng 3 – A Day for Gratitude
Traditionally a time to honour teachers and mentors, visit temples, and reflect on the guidance and blessings that shape our journey
Tết reminds us that before anything else, we begin with family, connection, and gratitude
How does your family spend the first days of the new year? 🤍

The night before Lunar New Year is one of the most meaningful moments in Vietnamese culture 🙏🏻
It’s a time for:
🧹 Cleaning the home to welcome fresh beginnings
🫖 Preparing offerings for ancestors
🥢 Gathering for reunion dinner
🏮 Decorating with red and gold for prosperity
As midnight approaches, families light incense, make wishes, and welcome the new year with hope and gratitude.
It’s not just the start of a new calendar — it’s a spiritual reset, a moment of reflection, and a reminder of where we come from 🧧
How does your family spend the night before Tết?
