Your questions, answered

What is a baju nikah?

The outfit worn for the akad nikah (solemnisation) — traditionally elegant and modest, most classically in white or soft tones: baju kurung or kebaya styles for the bride and baju melayu with samping for the groom. Many couples keep a simpler look for the nikah and change into grander sanding outfits.

Rent or custom-make — what does it cost?

Rental from bridal houses typically runs a few hundred dollars including basic fitting; custom-made nikah dresses range from several hundred to a few thousand depending on fabric and work. Bridal packages often bundle nikah + sanding outfits with makeup.

What colours are appropriate?

White and off-white remain the classic nikah choice, symbolising purity — but soft pastels, champagne and dusty tones are all common now. There's no religious colour requirement; modesty is the constant.
