Greek Wedding Traditions to Include in Your Celebration

6 minOctober 2024

From the Stefana crowns to the breaking of plates, discover meaningful Greek traditions that will add authenticity and joy to your ceremony.

Stefana crowns

The bride and groom wear linked crowns (stefana) during the Orthodox ceremony — a beautiful symbol of unity that photographs magnificently at Panagia.

Koufeta

Sugar-coated almonds given to guests as favours. Classic, edible and unmistakably Greek.

Music & dancing

Live bouzouki or a Greek band after dinner turns Chora squares into a celebration. Plate-breaking is optional and best arranged with your venue.
