What does getting married in Turkey involve?

All our Turkish wedding packages follow a theme broadly familiar to us Brits, however your day is what you (and we) make it, so if you’d like a traditional approach then we can make that happen. In Turkey, rather than the throwing of the bouquet, the bride’s friends write their names on the sole of her shoes. The name(s) that rubs off by the end of the night will be the next to get married. In terms of gifts, guests at a Turkish wedding either give cold coins or jewellery, which keeps things nice and simple.
