Intimate elopement
An intimate elopement refers to a very small and personal wedding, usually with just the couple (and sometimes a few close loved ones) in a special location. Unlike traditional weddings, elopements focus on the couple’s love and commitment without the stress of planning a large event. They often take place in romantic or adventurous settings, such as a mountaintop, a beach, or a secluded forest, making the experience more private and meaningful.
Cozy gatherings
A cozy gathering refers to a small, warm, and intimate event with close friends and family. Unlike large, formal celebrations, a cozy gathering creates a relaxed and personal atmosphere where guests can connect and enjoy meaningful moments together. It often takes place in a comfortable setting, such as a private home, a charming restaurant, or a rustic venue, with soft lighting, warm décor, and a focus on quality time rather than elaborate arrangements.
Lavish weddings
A lavish wedding is a grand, extravagant celebration with luxurious details, a large number of guests, and an unforgettable atmosphere. In the context of a traditional Croatian wedding, a lavish wedding typically includes:
• A Big Guest List: Croatian weddings are known for being large, often with over 200 guests, including extended family, friends, and even neighbors.
• Multiple-Day Festivities: The celebration often starts days before the wedding with gatherings, music, and traditional customs like the buying of the bride (kupovina mlade), where the groom and his friends negotiate with the bride’s family in a fun, symbolic way.
• Live Music and Dancing: A Croatian wedding isn’t complete without a tamburica band or a live orchestra playing traditional folk music, keeping guests dancing all night long.
• Lavish Feast: The wedding meal is a huge part of the celebration, with multiple courses including pršut (prosciutto), janjetina (roast lamb), sarma (cabbage rolls), and homemade rakija (a strong fruit brandy) for toasts.
• Grand Bridal Entrance: The bride often arrives in style, sometimes with fireworks, a decorated car, or even a horse-drawn carriage in more traditional settings.
• Traditional Toasts and Customs: Guests shout “Živjeli!” (cheers) as they toast to the couple, and there are playful traditions like breaking a plate for good luck or dancing for money to support the newlyweds.
• An All-Night Party: Croatian weddings are famous for lasting until sunrise, with endless dancing, laughter, and plenty of rakija to keep the energy high.
A lavish Croatian wedding is all about joy, love, and celebrating in a way that brings family and friends together in an unforgettable way.
