세계의 결혼식.
문화별 결혼 전통을 모은, 계속 늘어나는 컬렉션입니다. 그날 각 문화가 실제로 무엇을 하는지, 왜 그러는지, 그리고 하객들이 결국 무엇을 찍게 되는지를 다룹니다. 모든 글은 영어와 해당 문화의 언어로 작성됩니다. 출처는 각 글 하단에 있으며, 위키백과와 박물관 전시, 종교·행정 기록에 기대고 있습니다.
지금까지 22 개 문화를 다뤘고, 계속 늘어납니다. 여러분의 문화도 넣고 싶으신가요? 위키백과 링크와 그곳에서 사진가들이 주로 무엇을 담는지에 대한 한 문단을 hello@galeira.com으로 보내주시면 저희가 정리해 쓰겠습니다.
🇧🇷 Brazil
Chá de panela — Brazil's pre-wedding shower in photos
Why every Brazilian bride's chá de panela turns into a 400-photo afternoon — and how to make sure not one of them is lost.
🇧🇷 Brazil
Brazilian weddings — bem-casado, hora-da-gravata, and the photo guests still talk about
From the bem-casado sweets handed out as guests leave to the necktie-cutting fundraiser mid-reception, a Brazilian wedding is rituals layered for photo moments.
🇨🇳 China
The Chinese tea ceremony — how couples honour their elders before they're married
Tea served kneeling, the elder's red envelope in return, and why every guest reaches for their phone the moment it begins.
🇪🇬 Egypt
Zaffa — the Egyptian wedding procession that brings every guest into the photo
Drums, brass, sword dancers, and a couple walking the length of the venue. The zaffa is loud, public, and the single most photographed moment of an Egyptian wedding.
🇫🇷 France
Le vin d'honneur — the French cocktail hour everyone photographs
Between the ceremony and the dinner sits the most-photographed hour of a French wedding. Here's how to actually keep those photos.
🇩🇪 Germany
Polterabend — Germany's noisy pre-wedding tradition
The pre-wedding evening where guests smash porcelain for good luck — and the bride and groom sweep it up together. Captured in photos that usually nobody collects.
🇩🇪 Germany
Polterabend — the German pre-wedding tradition of smashing porcelain for luck
The night before a German wedding, friends and neighbours arrive uninvited with old plates. The couple sweeps up shards together — and someone photographs every minute.
🇬🇷 Greece
Stefana — the Greek Orthodox wedding crowning that everyone photographs from below
Two crowns linked by a ribbon, swapped over the couple's heads three times by the koumbaros — the centerpiece moment of a Greek Orthodox wedding.
🇮🇩 Indonesia
Siraman, akad, resepsi — three Indonesian wedding moments that produce three photo collections
From the Javanese bathing ritual the day before to the formal Islamic akad and the long Western-style resepsi, an Indonesian wedding is intentionally photogenic from start to finish.
🇮🇷 Iran
Sofreh aghd — the Persian wedding spread that organises a thousand photos
Honey, mirrors, sugar cones, a Quran, a poetry book — the Iranian wedding spread is a tableau guests photograph from every possible angle.
🇮🇱 Israel
Chuppah and the broken glass — the Jewish wedding moments every guest is waiting to photograph
A canopy held up by four poles, seven blessings under it, a glass crushed under the groom's foot — the Jewish wedding compresses centuries of tradition into one photo-rich evening.
🇮🇹 Italy
Confetti e bomboniere — the photo-rich rituals at the end of an Italian wedding
The sugared-almond toss and the favour exchange at the end of an Italian reception generate as many photos as the ceremony itself. Almost none make it to the couple.
🇮🇹 Italy
Italian weddings — confetti, the long lunch, and the photo of the 'sposi'
From the morning at the bride's home to the seven-hour lunch, the Italian wedding produces photos in three distinct waves the host can never personally attend.
🇵🇱 Poland
Oczepiny — the Polish wedding game that turns midnight into the reception's loudest hour
Around midnight, the bride's veil comes off, the bouquet flies, the garter follows, and the dance floor produces the wildest photos of the night.
🇷🇺 Russia
Vykup nevesty and karavay — the Russian wedding's tests, ransom, and bread photos
The morning ransom game where the groom buys his way to the bride, then the karavay bread where the largest bite predicts who runs the marriage.
🇰🇷 South Korea
폐백 — 한국의 밤과 대추가 떨어지는 결혼식
본식 후 가족만 모이는 작은 의식. 사진은 가족만 가지고 있어 신혼부부에게 잘 전달되지 않습니다.
🇰🇷 South Korea
폐백 — 가족이 절하고 대추를 던지며 사진을 주고받는 한국 결혼식
예식 직후의 폐백은 짧고 친밀하며, 부부가 50년간 거실 벽에 걸어두는 사진을 만들어낸다.
🇪🇸 Spain
La tornaboda — Spain's after-wedding party for the people who really stayed
After dinner, after the cake, after the DJ — the tornaboda is when the closest fifty guests crash into the small-hours afterparty. The photos there are gold, and they almost always get lost.
🇪🇸 Spain
Spanish weddings — las arras, the lazo, and the photo of thirteen coins
Two small rituals during the ceremony — coins and a cord — produce the photos that travel back home in every family album.
🇹🇭 Thailand
Rod nam sang — the Thai water-pouring blessing that turns a wedding into a shared photo album
After the morning Buddhist chanting, every guest pours sacred water from a conch shell over the couple's hands. Each pour gets photographed.
🇹🇷 Turkey
Kına gecesi — the henna night that turns a Turkish wedding into a two-day photo story
The night before the wedding, the bride cries on cue, her hands are painted with henna, and the women of two families produce more photos than the wedding itself.
🇻🇳 Vietnam
Lễ ăn hỏi — the engagement procession that is half the photos of a Vietnamese wedding
The morning the groom's family walks to the bride's house with red lacquer trays of betel, areca, and tea is when the village turns out — and films every step.
