Variations throughout Malay Wedding 'Pelamin' Decorations

Abstract

Malaysia is known for having a variety of cultural values. The usage of "pelamin" decorations is well-known in Malay weddings in Malaysia. The roots of design and layout are examined in the context of culture and visual art in this study. The point is that this concept originated from the royal throne, o which has been embraced to depict the concept of the "raja sehari" (bridegroom) during wedding ceremonies. In Malaysia, the consequence of cultural exchange is also a factor in the professional decoration's renewal results. This study aims to figure out how Malay wedding decorations are designed and what cultural influences they have. It also examines the viability of traditional and modern Malay wedding decorations.
