As with any other region in the world, weddings in Malaysia are a grand occasion for joy and celebration and are often held in a variety of settings. Best of all, this enchanting destination offers some of the best wedding themes and styles to help you and your partner celebrate in style.
If you desire a vibrant and colourful affair, a traditional Malaysian wedding is the way to go. In addition to celebrating your big occasion with grandeur, a traditional wedding also allows you to celebrate your cultural heritage with your friends and family. These weddings are often held in a place of worship, either a mosque or a Hindu temple, where the exchanging of vows and the bestowing of important blessings take place with the authority of a religious leader. However, amidst all the traditions and rituals, don’t forget to have a bit of fun and enjoyment for your special occasion. You can throw in a hearty reception for your guests filled with local delicacies, and of course, don’t forget to allow for plenty of photo opportunities.
Alternatively, if you prefer a more intimate occasion surrounded by the embrace of nature, a garden wedding might just suit your preference. There’s nothing more serene than being accompanied by fresh flowers, lush greenery, and the gentle sounds of nature. You’ll need to select an appropriate venue that allows for a garden setting, and then plan the rest of your theme accordingly. Flowers might certainly be a part of your decor so make sure to select an appropriate colour and theme with the help of a florist. Pastel flowers like peonies, roses and hydrangeas go well with a green setting and provide a fresh, romantic aura. Make sure that your table arrangements and lighting match the overall natural theme of your garden wedding.
If you want your wedding in Malaysia to be carefree and casual, there’s nothing better than a ceremony on the beach, surrounded by your loved ones and of course the free-flowing ocean breeze. If this is the theme that speaks to you the most, you’re in luck because Malaysia is home to a great many beaches that make for the perfect wedding setting; if you’ve always wanted to have a Sepang Gold Coast wedding this is your perfect chance! Make sure to choose a location that offers scenic views and fewer crowds for a truly picture-perfect wedding. You’ll also want to consider simple yet stylish decor to suit the location and a menu that’s light yet refreshing.
This wedding theme is now often preferred, with many young couples opting for an intimate yet stylish celebration. If you want to stick to the trend, then a modern, minimalist theme is the way to go, set in an elegant ballroom at a local property like Avani Sepang Goldcoast Resort. The key is to keep things to a minimum including your colour palette, decor and yes, even your guest list. You’ll do well to include a monochromatic colour theme and focus on a few decor details that add a touch of elegance - velvet liners or napkins, gold cutlery or vases, stylish table runners and more. Make sure to emphasise photography that takes advantage of the simple yet elegant setting.
An ideal alternative to a garden wedding is one out in the rustic woodlands, a great theme for nature lovers. A woodland location can really help you establish that fairytale setting for your perfect love story, as you exchange your vows surrounded by towering trees and dainty hanging lights. Once you’ve located the ideal woodland setting - a park or an extended backyard, use the natural backdrop as much as you can and keep to organic decor and meals to help your woodland setting shine through. Throw in a live acoustic performance to add to the gentle atmosphere and you’ll have yourself the fairytale wedding of your dreams.
