How we planned our 🇹🇷🇬🇧wedding 👇

Planning a wedding that blended both English and Turkish culture was so much fun (and a little tricky 😅) – but it came together perfectly ✨💕

Here’s how we mixed the two traditions…

👰🇬🇧 Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue: This classic English tradition is all about luck and protection for the bride. Old = family and continuity. New = hope and optimism for the future. Borrowed = shared happiness from a married friend or family member. Blue = love and fidelity 💙

💐 Bridesmaids & a flower girl
Our flower girl scattered petals to bless the path with happiness, innocence, and new beginnings.

🖊️ Guestbook & speeches
Friends and family left messages, shared stories, and gave their blessings. Speeches are such a sweet English wedding tradition, honouring love and relationships.

🤵‍♂️ Best man
Emre had a best man – originally a role to “protect” the groom back when weddings involved family alliances, property, or rival suitors 😅. Today, it’s all about support and friendship.

🇹🇷 A Turkish wedding
We celebrated in Turkey, where weddings are usually much bigger and more lively than in England – often with hundreds of guests! It meant so many of Emre’s family and friends could be there.

🕺 Zeybek
A traditional Turkish dance symbolising bravery, dignity, protection, and respect. The first time I saw it at a wedding, I knew I wanted it at ours.

👯‍♀️👯‍♂️ Halay
And of course… so much halay! 🎉
