Hand Bouquet

Normally, when we're talking about bride's hand bouquet, the most popular and common flowers to use is the rose. We or I rarely seen any bride use anything other than roses. Roses are pretty yes, but if every single bride in Malaysia pun use roses as their hand bouquet, it can get pretty boring and stereotype, no?

Actually there are vast selection of flowers to choose from apart from rose, that is. You can or may choose orchids, calla lilies, carnations, hydrangeas and the list continues to accompany you down the aisle.

For my hand bouquet, I'm thinking of using other flowers than roses. So here are some of out-of-the-box ideas.

Beautiful, aren't they? The flower is called plumeria or frangipani. Or bunga kemboja in Malay. You can have them FOC and abundantly available at the graveyard.

*bunyi cengkerik*

Kidding!

But it's true, right? All you have to do is ask the permission from imam of the mosque or any committee member yang maintain the graveyard in your area. Ngeeee.

Now that I look it, frangipani hand bouquet was not such a bad idea! Who knows, I might have one for my reception? Courtesy of the neighborhood graveyard, perhaps?

HA HA HA. Bongek Moose.


p/s: Bapak aku sure ingat aku gila and out of my mind if I suddenly ask him to pick the frangipanis at the graveyard. Other than graveyard where can I find it? I know they don't sell it at the normal florist shop.
