Well, "egg flower" is a literal translation from a Malay word "bunga telur". Bunga is flower and telur is egg. This is a typical part of decoration and souvenir during a Malay wedding. This flower is put next to a dais and will be given to guests who attended a Malay wedding.On the third day of this year's Eid, my niece got married, and the theme colour for her wedding was purple, and hence the "egg flower" was in purple.The hard boiled chicken egg was wrapped in a small lace/net piece of cloth.

Uh uh .. WMW, if no one is expected to eat them, and there's no way that those egg can be hatched and little chicks come out because there are just hard boiled eggs, what would happen next? O_o.. I shudder to think that those rotten eggs to be used as weapons for sling shots by some naughty little critters ... oopps I meant little creatures from 50th Dimensions.
Hi Tia, wow. Thank you for sharing such nice photo and culture. I've been to some Javanese weddings over here, but I guess they no longer practising the "injak telur" because I never seen such event in their weddings.
I do hope the egg is not a raw egg, but instead a hard boiled egg. LOL.
Once again, thank you for sharing such a nice photo and explanation. BTW .. I think I saw the egg.... hmmm ... nope. LOL.
Hi Grace, you're right. It was a symbol of new hope and blessing as well as a thank you from the newlyweds and the entire family to all the guests that came and celebrate the wedding.
