Weddings celebrate the joining of two people into one union. And, therefore, they should honor both partners and their backgrounds as well as the synthesis their union represents. So, if you and your partner belong to different faiths or cultural backgrounds why not have a fusion wedding in Greece?
For Greeks, synthesis leads to growth. We understand what blending two traditions entails. And our team will respectfully discuss with you all important traditions that must be included. While, at the same time, leave room for new ideas to birth and grow.
Poema's 5 useful tips for the perfect fusion wedding
Over the years our team has worked together with many interfaith couples, planning some of the most beautiful fusion weddings! And from these experiences, we realized that regardless of our couple's backgrounds, there were some key elements present in all the fusion weddings we planned.
We share them with you here, in the hope that they will help you as they have helped us. And if you have any more questions you can always contact our team for a free consultation.
1. Concentrate on what is important
Concentrate on what is important to you and your partner. We can review together all traditions from your faiths and cultures to locate those that speak to your hearts. We may even discover similar traditions that are celebrated in both cultures and include them in your ceremony, as symbols of your common path in life. Just remember that your wedding is a celebration of your union and as such, your love should be in the epicenter.
2. Share your wishes and vision for your wedding
Share your wishes and vision for your wedding with your respective families, and how you would like them to partake in the ceremonies. The way to go about it is to establish clear communication with both families and set the expectations right from the start. This way, both sides of the (new) family will understand the rational behind the traditions you will share as a couple and feel welcomed in the process.
3. Incorporate dishes from both cultures
Incorporate traditional dishes from both cultures in your wedding menu. By including traditional dishes, you tap into the symbolism of both cultures. Then, you combine them into a complementary culinary experience, symbolic of your union as a couple.
4. Use design to signify the fusion of different faiths
Use design elements to signify the fusion of both your faiths and cultures. These elements can be incorporated in your garments, the venue decorations, all wedding stationary, your wedding treats etc. Our team can help you chose both the elements as well as how to incorporate them into your wedding theme.
5. Dare to innovate!
Respecting traditions is one important part of fusion weddings. Another important part is respecting your uniqueness as a couple. So, dedicate some time to think of what makes you two unique. Then, we will find ways to incorporate your essence as a couple into your celebrations, creating for you the most magnificent fusion wedding in Greece!
