Kuala Lumpur, March 29 (IANS) Exhibitors from Malaysia and Indonesia are preparing to showcase just about everything that goes into a wedding - be it of a Malay family or that of an ethnic Indian.

Called the Malay-Indian Wedding Expo, it will have wedding card printers to gift makers, bridal make-up artists, video photographers and travel agents for the wedding merrymakers and the intending honeymooning couples.

The man behind it, ethnic Indian Mathyvanan M.S. who is the managing director of D’Organiser (M) Sdn Bhd, said the expo would be “the perfect place for couples, friends and families to congregate to plan for their big day”.

“This year, more than 120 exhibitors will display their products and services. There will be wedding planners, decorators, caterers, wedding cake makers, wedding card printers and gifts makers, bridal make-up artists, bridal boutiques, video and studio photographers as well as travel agents,” New Straits Times quoted Mathyvanan as saying.

One highlight of the expo is the “Bride Me Challenge”.

Make-up artists can show off their skills in the bridal make-up competition.

The firm’s business development manager Syed Mohammed Rizal Syed Abdul Aziz said the expo offered couples-to-be plenty of options to see and consider.

“It will be an extravagant affair as we will also entertain the visitors with Malay and Indian traditional dances, fashion shows, photography demonstration and more,” said Syed Rizal.

The added attraction is a competition. Winners stand a chance to attend the Bride Show 2012 in Dubai.

Multi-racial Malaysia is home to 28 million people of which 2.1 million are Indians.
