Silk, symbol of softness, refinement and patience

According to a Chinese proverb, "With time and patience, mulberry leaves turn into a silk dress".

In fact, silk comes from the cocoons of the mulberry bombyx. The caterpillar feeds on mulberry leaves and then secretes the precious thread. It takes time and many silkworms for the fabric to come to life. Silk nuptials symbolize this patience and pricelessness.

The more the years go by, the more your couple blossoms.

Silk is also a noble and precious material, often used in wedding dresses. It represents the softness and happiness of union.
