In Greek tradition, the wedding day starts at home! The Stolisma is the ceremonial dressing of the bride or groom. Surrounded by family, live traditional music, and a few tears of joy, Chloe will be blessed by our loved ones before heading to the church. This will be held at Chloe's family home in Cyprus, where our closest family and friends will gather to help her get ready.

Some Traditional Greek Traditions: Koumbaros & Koumeres
6:00 pm
Guests are given the opportunity to become the couple’s Koumbaro (male) or Koumera (female). By becoming a Koumbaro or Koumera, you are promising the couple life-long friendship & support. During the ceremony, those who wish to take part will sign their name on a traditional ribbon & take part in a ring swapping ceremony. During the evening reception, a member of the wedding party will pass by to collect £20 from each Koumbaro & Koumera. This is a tradition that helps contribute towards the couple’s future together.
Some Traditional Greek Traditions: Money Dance & Throwing
6:00 pm
The Greek Orthodox Money Dance tradition takes place during the evening reception. Guests pin money to the Bride & Groom as they dance - this money is usually your wedding gift to them. Money is traditionally thrown at the couple and others on the dance floor to signify good fortune, prosperity and as a mark of respect for those dancing at the time. This money is collected at the end of each dance and is used as a contribution to the couple’s future or as a contribution to the payment of their entertainment.
