What to Expect at a Polish Wedding
Polish weddings are known for being full of good food, alcohol, great company, and unforgettable celebrations that last for multiple days. Here’s what you can look forward to:
Ceremony (Saturday)
While many Polish weddings take place in a church, we've chosen to do things a little differently. Our ceremony will be held outdoors, in the beautiful garden of Villa Bezycer. Everyone is invited to share this special moment with us! After the ceremony, we'll head straight into the reception-no waiting, just celebrating. In case of rain, don't worry-there's a lovely covered space on-site where we can move things.
Reception (Saturday)
Polish weddings are legendary and ours will be no exception! Think: great food, flowing drinks, heartfelt moments, crazy games and a lot of dancing! Our amazing MC will guide the evening with energy and charm, introducing traditional Polish games and fun surprises. Get ready for multiple courses of mouthwatering food (come hungry!), followed by desserts and late-night snacks. Music and dancing will keep things going well into the early hours-don't be surprised if we're still at it by sunrise! Unlimited drinks: Vodka is the traditional star of any Polish wedding, but there'll be plenty of other options too. Expect to toast (and drink) often it's part of the fun!
Poprawiny - The Afterparty (Sunday)
The celebration doesn't end after just one night! In Polish culture, weddings have traditionally lasted two days, and the poprawiny is the informal continuation of the festivities. The word poprawiny comes from the verb poprawić, meaning "to improve" or "continue"-so you could think of it as a joyful encore to the main event. It's a relaxed day with:
- Leftover food and drinks (still delicious!)
- Music and dancing (yes, again!)
- More quality time with us, our families, and all of you
Dress Code
We're keeping it simple-no themes or costumes, just classic wedding style. Here's what to pack for the weekend:
Friday - Pre-Party
Casual but polished. Think of what you'd wear out for an evening out - nice shirts, dresses, or whatever makes you feel comfortable and confident.
Saturday - Wedding Day
Dress to impress! Formal suits and evening dresses are perfect. It's a special day, so feel free to go a little fancy.
Sunday - Afterparty
Smart casual with a festive touch like a laid-back cocktail party. Many guests will change into a second outfit that's a bit more relaxed than Saturday.
Gifts
Your presence at our wedding truly means the world to us, and that's the greatest gift we could ask for. Since many of us are traveling internationally, bringing physical gifts isn't practical. Instead, we'll be following a common Polish wedding tradition: if you'd like to give something, you're welcome to contribute via an anonymous envelope on the day, with whatever amount you feel comfortable giving to help us cover the costs of the celebration.
