Polish wedding traditions:
- When the bride dances the first marriage dance with the groom, wine is offered to her — if she drinks it and does not spill it, the future of the family will be happy and rich;
- the bride and her friends break glass near her house the night before the wedding, this custom according to legend helps to protect the future family from evil forces;
- after the wedding in Poland, it is customary to stay for popraviny — a kind of continuation of the banquet on the second day.
A wedding in Poland is a union with the unforgettable flavor of one of the closest European countries. As you can see, there is room for a wide variety of couples — from active and sporty to those who like to live a quiet life.
A big advantage of Poland over other European countries is the price level, which will allow you to hold a wedding celebration more economically, which will be very relevant for many young families. A wedding is a special celebration that should be memorable and then the whole future life together will go as smoothly as possible!
