Lithuania- The Key to a Happy Marriage

Collected from work in the afternoon, Katie headed down to Luton to hop on a plane to Lithuania.  Travel is so easy in this day and age that Weddings Abroad are becoming even more accessible.

Never mind checking in baggage, just hand luggage consisting of dress, shoes and of course… Shropshire Petals confetti. There’s always plenty of room for confetti, it packs in nicely between some clothes and is light as a feather. Tying neatly round my wrist it’s ready for the special moment…

There were some lovely traditions including giving gladioli to the Bride, a champagne toast outside the square after the ceremony, and of course… a confetti shot.

And as if by magic, a beautiful petal path was created from the confetti. Just had to snap this lovely one as the bride walked away.

Now my favourite tradition has to be when the Groom carried the Bride across a bridge. They stopped in the middle to attach a padlock engraved with their names; signifying their new bond. They then threw the key over – the key to a happy marriage- into the water to be washed away, sealing their marriage with a kiss.

The wedding ‘bridge’ cake even followed on this age old tradition.

Then everyone changed into casual clothes, the party started and the night turned in to a merry affair… Hiccup!

Traditional Lithuanian weddings carry on for two days if not more, this was not to disappoint for the events carried on late into the night and started again the following morning, I certainly embraced the tradition.

Katie certainly enjoyed Lithuania, we can’t wait for the next wedding abroad, with confetti in hand it’s certainly getting SP on the map!

Love as always SP x x
