Malay Wedding,
Malay's Bride & Groom Wedding Outfit Mini Figurine
I'd been invited to attend Malay Wedding several times by my friends. The bride and groom were treated like a royalty on that day.
They were seated at the stage with glittering outfits, decorations, live performances, foods and people chatting at every corners.
The scene I would never forget is the Malay's bride and groom wedding outfit.
It seems that the theme of the party in term of color and shape in sync with the couple's outfit.
So if the couple wearing green and purple outfit for example, I will see green and purple color in other elements like flowers, cake, table and room decorations, and so on. They are all beautiful!
I captured one of those moments in Malay wedding by creating a mini figurine of the bride and groom. Hope you like it.
