Wedding Dais

Malay weddings have evolved over time from a traditional affair to a very much modernised one. More savvy brides are opting from extravagant over the top themes to elegant chic.

For those who are not familiar with the culture, the decorated wedding dais known as pelamin is one of the focal points of a Malay wedding. The bride and groom are treated like royals for the day (Raja Sehari) and the pelamin is their so called throne.

So, what does the couple do on the dais? Nothing much really. Basically, just sit there all demure looking pretty which we call bersanding. Like royalty basically. But in my case, I laughed like a hyena and was busy waving at friends instead of blushing like a shy bride. :P

Ending with an interesting dais pic created by a fellow wedding planner who's a relative.
