Wedding Hair Style

How do you choose your wedding hair style? Here’s what you can do..

a) Coordinate with the style of the wedding. Formal weddings will require formal hair like an updo. If you are looking at fairy tale weddings, think of a tiara or jeweled hair accessories. With a luxurious French twist, a bun or short hair, a tiara will give you the fairytale look you want.

b) Choose a style that compliments your face. Those with oval faces have the least worries. With an oval face, just beware of bangs and having too much hair in your face. With a round face, go for volume and height. Think of an Audrey Hepburn updo. This will help lengthen your face. For square faces, either layered, romantic and wispy, or up and heightened. Look for hair like Jennifer Aniston's when she married Brad Pitt for wispy, and a French twist for an updo. Those with heart-shaped faces can go with a sweep of hair across the brow in whatever style they choose.

c) Style your hair with your dress in mind. If you are wearing a strapless ball gown, you may want some wisps, or curls of hair falling onto your naked shoulders for a dramatic effect. Also, if you have a long flowing veil, it will look best on long and flowing hair.

d) Visit, and re-visit, the stylist. Just like when planning for the perfect cake and the perfect dress, leave yourself time for planning the perfect hair. Have your stylist try different looks on you, so you can see the final result in the mirror. Bring all of your hair accessories with you to each trial run. This means any clips, tiaras

Terms of Malay Wedding

Malay weddings

A Malay wedding is obviously very unique. You may not find any of other customs which resembles the malay wedding

Malay weddings are grand affairs where the couple is treated as royalty. Weddings are usually spread out over several days, starting with the Henna-staining ceremony, followed by the Nikah ceremony and ending with the Bersanding, which is the actual wedding day.

Engagement
As soon as a man announces his wish to marry, an engagement date will be set when families of the couple meet to discuss the wedding plans.

Henna-staining ceremony
The excitement begins three days before the wedding. On this day, the bride-to-be shows off her trousseau, changing five to six times throughout the day, as a sign of good luck. Her friends and relatives are invited to view her wardrobe. A day after this, the wedding ceremony proper starts with the henna-staining ceremony. During this ceremony, yellowish oil, extracted from henna leaves is applied on the fingertips of the couple by friends and relatives. It announces their forthcoming unity.

Nikah ceremony
Religious solemnisation of the marriage takes place on the wedding eve. Known as the Nikah ceremony rite is required by both the Islamic law and the civic law to legalise a Malay wedding.

Bersanding
The actual wedding day is the Bersanding. This literally means the "sitting together of the bride and bridegroom on the bridal couch". Known as the Pelamin, this couch is the centrepiece of the whole ceremony, and two pelamins are required - one in the bride's house and the other in the bridegroom's. As the Bersanding ceremony customarily takes place in the afternoon, the bridegroom entertains guests at his own house in the morning. At the agreed time, he is escorted in a procession with a hadrah or kompang band (male music group) to his bride's house. On arrival, he has to pay a 'tax' in the form of money to the girl's family before he enters each door leading to the pelamin to take his place besides his bride. An astakona, a tiered pedestalled tray, is also placed in front of the pelamin. Each tier contains a mound of cooked yellow rice studded all over with red-dyed eggs. This tray will later be presented to the emak pengantin (a close friend or relative chosen to be the matron of honour for the marriage) as an act of appreciation for her help during the ceremonies. The groom then sits with the bride on the pelamin. After this the couple returns to the bridegroom's house in a procession. They are normally accompanied by the hadrah band, with men beating a rhythm on their timbrels and reading verses from the Koran. The music proclaims their marriage to the world. At the bridegroom's house, the Bersanding ceremony is repeated for the benefit of the bridegroom's kinfolk. This is followed by feasting and merry-making, called the kenduri. The wedding celebrations come to an end when the bridal pair returns home to the bride's house to pay respects to her family.
