Russian Bridal Traditions
Every tradition has a wealth of wedding traditions and Russia is no exception https://time.com/5143563/real-st-valentine-valentines-day-history/. While many current Russian couples opt for a more “westernized” ceremony that only requires them to sign their names in a registry office ( or as we call it Zags), there are still those who want to go the whole hog and have the traditional Orthodox party with all of its related excitement.
As an example, a standard Russian couple will greet their kids as they enter the house with bread and salt. This is a means of wishing the novel pair a long life together. After this, the brides will include a special dinner of korovai, a round ceremony wheat filled with different icons such as pigeons, flowers, sun and stars, all wishing the couple health, prosperity and happiness.
During the reception, customers are encouraged to lose a bit of cash on the floor around the brides, known as “dvoryanka”. This is a traditional custom that embodies a couple’s desire for great success in life.
Another custom is that the wife throws her flower at the guests instead of the bride. Someone caught it is thought to be the person who will marry the next, so they must be very cautious not to trample to hard. A piece of the plate must be positioned underneath their pillow for those who do n’t pick up the bouquet.
The “ransom” is another well-known part of a Russian bridal.
