Arriving at the wedding reception and seeing two boys holding the bunga mangga, a definite sign of a wedding going on. I love taking photos of children, they always oblige and are ever willing. I don't know the couple well but husband and I know the parents very well. We were colleagues and good friends for the longest time.
Bunga telur with boiled eggs for guests who blesses the couple. The family chose green as their theme.
Rose water and uncooked tumeric rice to sprinkle on hands as blessings.
On the same day, celebrity blogger, Kerp or his actual name, Daniel got married with his sweetheart of 11 years. Here are the girls posing with Daniel. It was huge events filled with lots of more well known bloggers but we were late but glad we met up again. This is my second meeting with him and so happy to do so at his wedding. Congrats Daniel, semoga bahagia selalu :)
Last weekend was another ex colleague's son's wedding. It was a huge and very festive event, lots of good food as in every wedding.
The wedding dais was grand as expected. Here seen two guys preparing to perform a silat, a traditional Malay art of self defence.
A close up of the lovely couple.
Wedding post still not over until I cover the one this Saturday.
Meanwhile, here's wishing everyone a good week ahead :)
Beautiful weddings and beautiful brides! And congratulations to the happy couples.
ReplyDeleteYour pictures are lovely and the posts lively. I am so glad I foudn your blog. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteSuch SPLENDOR! I'm relishing all the grand, luxurious details... especially the brides' gowns! :o) Thank you for taking us along, M. Kate... and for these lovely flowers... Must thank you, too, for your well-wishes... I'm slowly on the mend :o) ((BIG HUGS))
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful and unusual to the Western eye things. The brides all looked radiant. I loved the photo where a bride is feeding her groom- so relaxed.
ReplyDeleteHappy days ahead for the newly-weds. Must be the month for weddings!
ReplyDeleteHello M. Kate,
ReplyDeleteI really admire your photos here - the brides in such beautiful dresses, the flowers the decorations! Beautiful and so different than here.
Have a great day:)
Dearest Maryam,
ReplyDeleteThis really does bring tears to my eyes to see. Thank you for posting the photos. I will show my mom later because this is beautiful and different from what I've ever seen. Both brides looked exquisite.
I have 2 questions:
1.) The boiled eggs on the tree. How are they attached?
2.) As a guest, do you also wear a hijab? Do all women in attendance?
Love to you friend.
Today it is Sunny.

ps Want to tell you the orchids took 4 and 1/2 months to bloom. I now have 3 blooms. Will get back to you on how long the blooms last.
Hi Constance, boiled eggs are tied to flowers with netting and no one need to wear the hijab if they don't want to. It's pretty liberal here :)
ReplyDeleteHi Kate,
