In addition to the link which I mentioned below, you can also check out the photos under:

https://www.geomancy.net/mypictures/cgi-bin/imagesearch.cgi?img=0&search=wedding&cat=all&x=32&y=10

In the above link, you can click to view Page 2 and 3 ... pictures of the double happiness symbol and some Chinese wedding photos with the double happiness symbol.

Thus, in Traditional China and today, the Double Happiness Symbol is used rather than the Heart Shape...

Warmest Regards,
