Hantaran is the ceremonial exchange of wedding gifts between the bride's and groom's families. These elaborately decorated trays contain gifts like jewelry, textiles, perfumes, and the mas kahwin (bride price).
The hantaran ceremony is highly photogenic, with beautifully decorated trays exchanged between families. Many couples showcase 5-9 trays (odd numbers for good luck), each themed and decorated.
While some do hantaran separately, it often takes place alongside the nikah ceremony, making it another occasion where the bride's hands are prominently featured.
