Payong Kawin (Malay Word meaning Wedding Umbrella)
-These fancy umbrellas are used during Malay weddings to shelter the wedding couple for good luck in their new journey of life together.
– Fancy umbrellas like this in green, are used for Malay funerals. Sheltering the deceased while it’s being brought forward to the cemetery.
MARVELOUS photo … perfect for Mellow Yellow Monday too ;–)
I’ve not posted Ruby Tuesday yet because it’s still early on Monday here in So Cal.
Hugs and blessings,
These umbrellas are beautiful. You offer us a slice of culture from the Malay peninsula we don’t know about…but are happy to learn. The red is subtle and looks fine inside the umbrella, much like the pistils inside a flower…
