Anything that has to do with 'Malay Wedding' is a lucrative business! We started with cupcakes for 'hantaran' and moved to bake wedding cakes, and earlier this year we designed our very own dais for my cousin. 'Hantaran' or gifts exchanged during wedding ceremony have been modernized over the year. Fresh flowers have been used to decorate 'hantaran' nowadays. Years ago, my late Mom made the flowers from crepe papers to decorate the 'hantaran'.
In this blog, we will emphasized a simple, convenient, affordable and practical wedding theme. Very few bride-to-be agreed with our concept in Kluang, Johor but at the end of the day, they have to accept that those concepts featured by the bridal magazines are very expensive to follow. We found that brides and bridegrooms families spent a lot of money for unnecessary things. We will start a campaign to reduce unpractical door gifts. We will suggest things that are useful and affordable as door gifts.
We will include cost-saving tips and also our favourite caterers and bridal boutiques around Kluang or Johor. We invite caterers and bridal boutiques to introduce themselves to us and seek partnerships for advertisements and adhere to our concepts.
As a devoted Muslim and also a follower of old Javanese Islamic scripts called Kitab Perimbon, we will introduce old beliefs or superstitions regarding the good months in which couples should marry. I believe that something which was deemed to be 'afdhal' according to Islam will not necessarily be convenient nowadays but I'm sure every step of the way will be rewarded by Allah!
