It is now fashionable to celebrate the wedding ceremony in different styles. And there is an explanation for this. The first is that an unusual wedding will be simply unforgettable, and the second is that this event will be a pleasant surprise for guests. In our country, the most popular wedding celebration in the Greek style. Such a wedding has become widespread, because in Greece the wedding day is celebrated on the same scale as ours.
But before you start preparing for this big day, you should learn about some of the traditions of celebrating a Greek-style wedding.
- A wedding in Greece is not complete without a bachelor and hen party. It is important that the bride and groom have a great time before marriage. Bachelor and bachelorette parties must be held one week before the wedding ceremony in the Greek style.
- The wedding is celebrated not for two days, like ours, but for three (from Saturday to Monday).
- Bread made with saffron, rosemary, cinnamon, basil and mint must be included in the Greek-style celebration menu. A wedding cannot do without seafood, meat or fish, seasoned with basil and rosemary. Greek salad, barbecue on wooden skewers and cabbage rolls in grape leaves should be on the menu. Instead of vodka, white and red wine, Greek brandy (metaxa) and kumquat liqueur are served on the table. Food is served on clay plates. Alcohol is put on the table not in bottles, but in jugs.
- Only white flowers (roses, irises or callas) should be included in the bride's wedding bouquet.
- The bride wears a white wedding dress and a pink, peach or beige veil to ward off evil spirits. You can replace it with a wreath of flowers. It is also advisable for the groom to wear a light-colored suit.
- A wedding in the Greek style differs from our wedding in that gifts are given not only to newlyweds. They are given to all guests. These are sweets in bags.
- The hall should also be decorated in the Greek style. A wedding will not be truly Greek if there are no tablecloths with Greek patterns on the tables and candles. The hall should have columns, clay amphoras with fresh flowers of yellow, red, orange, fruits and laurel branches.
