As promised, here are some of the selected captures from Meng Hwa & Celine's wedding reception in Holiday Inn, Melaka.
Introducing Celine, the gorgeous nyonya bride from Melaka.
Some detail shots before the tea ceremony. Below is the beautiful Kerongsang (brooch) & necklace on Celine.
Kasut Manek (Bead shoes)
Serving tea to grandma.
Just before the luncheon starts, I stole them for a few minutes to get some portraits. You can see the pre-selected ones from the earlier post.
The extremely beautiful & intricate kebaya & batik sarong.
The custom handmade manek shoes of the bride.
Their grand entrance to the hall
And of course as in any reception we have speeches made by the bride & groom,but theirs were conducted in English and Baba Malay for the family.
And how can we not have "Yum-Sengs, even if it was actually 1pm in the afternoon
Here's Celine with her friends.
Bride & groom with the guys.
And here's a group shot of almost every one who was in the Kebaya for the occasion.
As you can see I had tons of fun on this very special reception. It was a privilege to capture something different from the usual white western gowns (tho they are still gorgeous ;P ). It's great to see my generation & the younger ones continue the tradition, language and culture, of the blend of chinese and malay from the Straits of Malaya.
