wedding ceremony

Wherever you go, marriage is sacred. But different cultures have their own unique ways of preparing for and celebrating the happy couple’s nuptials. Here QUIZ, retailers of occasion dresses, tell Vows & Venues a few weird and wonderful wedding traditions from around the world.

1.    China

As China is a large nation, wedding and bridal traditions can depend on which region you’re from. Tujia brides must cry for an hour a day every day for a month in the run-up to their wedding. After ten days, the bride’s mother joins her in crying daily before being joined by her grandmother. As the other women join in, it’s seen as an expression of their joy.

Pennsylvania Castle on the Isle of Portland is one of Dorset’s top wedding venues. Perched on a cliff top with stunning sea views and idyllic gardens, the fairy tale castle is perfect for intimate and bespoke indoor or outdoor weddings. 

With more children attending their parents’ weddings than ever before, it is only right that the children should be treated like royalty too. Getting the right balance of inclusion but without disruption is a balancing act that Penn Castle have perfected over many years. Pennsylvania Castle is very fortunate to have a great relationship with a wonderful nanny service, who are experts at keeping all small people occupied throughout their time at The Penn.
