Wedding reception for guests

A touch of culinary heritage

The ceremony is followed by a feast with traditional sweet or savoury poticas, a selected culinary offer and drinks. Feasting takes place on the outdoor platform, and in case of bad weather in the gallery in Bled Island Provost’s house (Proštija).

The course of the wedding event:

  • Arrival on Bled Island
  • Ascent up the southern stone staircase – 99 stair steps,
  • Arrival at church,
  • Church wedding ceremony
  • Ringing the Wishing Bell
  • Participants greeting the newly-weds in front of the church,
  • Wedding reception.

The symbolism of 99 stair steps

With the bride in his arms

The southern stone staircase is a challenge for many grooms, who carry their future wives in their arms up all the 99 stair steps. By this act, the groom shows his maturity and willingness for a solid marriage on a symbolic level.

The Wishing Bell

Invocations and hope

By ringing the Wishing Bell after the wedding ceremony, the newly-weds usually commend themselves to Mary Queen and God. A deep devotion to the faith and many desires for a solid marriage status echo through the invocation.
