A wedding in the mountains
Nature - wondering, where to get married mountains immediately come to mind - they have always inspired and delighted artists, writers and lovers. It is not without reason that they have become one of the favorite subjects of romantics. No wonder that young couples organize weddings in this area, and the mountains still attract crowds of tourists. Weddings in the bosom of nature are recently very popular, and at the same time still so rare that they successfully stand out from other wedding ceremonies.
Outdoor wedding in the mountains provides ideal conditions to obtain amazing plants to decorate the wedding hall and create unique photographs.
Wedding in the mountains - where?
Each place in the mountains has its own specificity. The Giant Mountains, whose wild and natural charm has already delighted many young couples, offer an intimate atmosphere and an individual approach, while the typical "highlander" should be found in the vicinity of the Tatra Mountains.
Local culture – great folklore and tradition, hospitality and great regional cuisine are the features that perfectly reflect the character of the Karkonosze region. The same advantages will make both small wedding w górach, jak i huczna impreza będą niezapomnianym przeżyciem zarówno dla Młodej Pary, jak i dla gości. Nie zapominajmy także o dolnośląskich przysmakach i tradycyjnych potrawach wprost spod szczytów Karkonoszy. Wedding in Karpacz or the surrounding area means a unique atmosphere.
wedding landscape
Landscape – no matter if the wedding falls in winter or summer – the aura in the mountains always conjures up wonderful views. As our wedding expert Joanna Hoc Kopiej says: "If we want to have photos that will delight for years, there is no better place for a wedding. Can there be anything more beautiful than a beautiful panorama from Lake Sosnówka to the top of the Karkonosze Mountains - Śnieżka? In autumn, beech forests shimmer with the colors of the rainbow. In October and November, numerous balloons and paragliders can be seen in the sky - an amazing sight. In the spring, at the foot of the mountains, yellow and white patches of flowers and white blooming trees spread out in the meadows - every bride will be delighted" - concludes the expert's statement.
Wedding food may include regional dishes. Classic Karkonosze cuisine includes kyselo - a very simple sourdough soup based on plants from the Karkonosze meadows. It is also the Karkonosze sejkory - a kind of potato pancake and the Karkonosze ukret, i.e. garlic soup. In the Karkonosze Mountains, cheese and cottage cheese were traditionally made from sheep's and cow's milk. It is worth tasting these products heavily seasoned with herbs, prepared in the style of cheeses from centuries ago. Fish from the Krkonoše streams are also worth attention. Gingerbread from the Karkonosze Mountains is another noteworthy item on the list of regional flavors (it includes, among others, rosehip caramel and acorn and sea buckthorn flour). Other delicacies from the Karkonosze Mountains include Jizera dumplings stuffed with beef and hubnik - a millet casserole with mushrooms. At Dwór Korona Karkonoszy, we offer a lot of local products, including great craft beers, which can also become a great gift for wedding guests.
Wedding atmosphere
Atmosphere – a wedding is an extraordinary day for every couple – that is why it is so important that it takes place in an equally special place. If we decide to have a wedding in the mountains, we can be sure that it will be accompanied by a special atmosphere. Lower Silesia excels in this due to its wonderful architecture and nature. The wedding ceremony in the mountain landscapes and the unusual air make the newlyweds enchanted not only by their only day, but also by the atmosphere prevailing everywhere.

Attractions - a visit to the medieval Chojnik Castle can be a great attraction for visitors.

The stronghold was never rebuilt after a fire in the 18th century, but the ruins are picturesque enough to make it worth going there.

It is not without reason that highlander folklore has stolen the hearts of many Poles. Although some couples live far from the mountain peaks, they want to arrange theirs in this style dream wedding. They are convinced by the highlander, energetic tradition (present not only in the Tatra Mountains!), which they want to successfully make the leitmotif of the celebration.

An atmospheric wedding – folk or neofolk?
A wedding is an important event in the life of a couple in love. This is a special time that requires a unique setting. Specified wedding style it's a great way to give your party character. This is a chance to create a coherent, extremely effective arrangement that will take the newlyweds and guests into an amazing, romantic world.
Are you looking for a place for an unforgettable wedding?
What leitmotif fits a mountain wedding? A wedding in the mountains it is a great opportunity to weave elements related to highlander tradition into the ceremony. Wedding in style folk it's a mix of colors and patterns. The wedding arrangement must not lack colorful scarves and ribbons, elements in intense red, subtle cutouts and a wealth of flowers. The amazing climate of southern Poland will be emphasized by lively music.
However, the typical highland style will not appeal to everyone. So he can choose a style neofolk? It will allow us to escape the literal nature of rural decorations. From crafts and folk art, we choose only the most beautiful and combine them with modern details. We interpret traditional patterns from various regions of Poland in a new way, obtaining a unique effect. Motifs taken from rural art fascinated Young Poland artists over 100 years ago. Simplicity, although often not devoid of sophistication, colorful fabrics, unpretentiousness - this is what attracts us in neofolk.
Folk wedding
Fashion for folklore returned a few years ago and probably will stay with us for longer. Maybe decorate the wedding hall with country "spiders"? Cockroaches, Podhale's padanice, Łowicz belts or peacock eyes taken from the Kurpie culture will be perfect for example as decorations. Regional ornaments, often in a simplified form or devoid of their characteristic, very vivid colors, will perfectly match minimalist interiors. Felt handbags, linen lamps, wool cut-out carpets. Unconventional connections? That's what it's all about! Folklore in a designer edition - this is what the neofolk style offers.
Or maybe… rustic or boho style?
However, if we are not convinced by folklore, regardless of the release, we have other options. A couple who dreams of a tasteful, subtle wedding arrangement can bet on rustic style. He draws inspiration from nature and the idyllic atmosphere of the countryside. The lightness of nature intertwines with modernity and extraordinary elegance. The rustic arrangement is dominated by earth colors (especially greens, beiges and browns), subtle decorations (jute sacks and strings, braids, lace) and wildflowers in subdued shades. A rustic wedding cannot be complete without wood in various forms, delicate twigs decorating wedding tables, antiqued items and other airy decorations that refer to nature with their character. Linen, batiste, canvas. A rustic wedding in the mountains can be incredibly magical. The surroundings of the majestic peaks will perfectly emphasize the light and sensual nature of the party. It will make the newlyweds feel like in an extremely romantic fairy tale. A fairy tale they will remember for a long time.
Or maybe choose a casual and insanely colorful style boho? It is a combination of patterns and colors from different parts of the world. This style will be perfect for a casual wedding reception in the garden - against the background of nature. Its symbol could be a patchwork. In addition, it does not require large financial outlays and is ecological (3R philosophy: reduce, reuse, recycle). You can and even need to use the accessories and items you already have. Colorful pillows and flowery rugs, leopard spots, Łowicz stripes and Scottish plaids. And all illuminated with lanterns and lanterns from around the world, decorated with beads and now fashionable pompoms and colorful rosettes. Maybe it's time for joyful, uninhibited creativity? This aesthetic will certainly appeal to people with an artistic flair!
The Crown of the Karkonosze Manor
On the occasion of a wedding in the mountains, you can also organize other attractions for guests that will complement the entire stay. Hiking, visiting local monuments, trips or seemingly mundane activities such as simply resting on deckchairs in the garden of Dwór Korona Karkonoszy - all this means that guests do not want to leave us.
How to photograph a wedding in the mountains?
Young couples generally use professional services of a photographer. Wedding videographer it will definitely work. Professionals generally have their own style and favorite gear. However, nowadays almost anyone can take some good photos, even with the camera available on a mobile phone. Mobile applications are so advanced that after turning on the appropriate mode, all you need to do is press the shutter button. Nevertheless, it is worth recalling a few basic rules. Firstly, during a solemn wedding, whether in the Wedding Palace or in a church, it is not allowed to disturb the ceremony. Especially if the ceremony is already recorded by professional photo and video service. Secondly, wedding photos can and should capture fleeting moments. Could it be some touching scene, maybe an unusual detail?
Wedding photo session
A wedding session is often also a kind of story - it starts with preparations (hairstyle, clothes) through a drive or walk to the place of the ceremony, to finally reach the wedding party and register the amused guests. Successful portraits of wedding guests, capturing their emotion or elation while having fun can bring a smile to your face even after many years. It's worth trying to capture the atmosphere of the place. In the case of the mountains, their majesty, open space, colors will certainly prove themselves and even for an amateur photographer they will be a graceful background. The young couple against the background of the mountains will always make an impression! For example, a young couple moving along a mountain path into a common future. The path gets lost in the upper corner of the frame leading into the unknown... The composition will depend on our imagination and mood. So let your imagination run wild!
What kind of music - a wedding in the mountains?
As in the case of photography, we most often use the services of professional DJs or bands. Then we have to agree on a fairly detailed repertoire with them, so that there are no surprises with music that does not suit us or our guests at all. In the case of more intimate events, you can prepare a playlist yourself or ask someone who is passionate about music to help. Compilations can be thematic or refer to your favorite music style or era. If the bride or groom have their favorite pieces, be sure to take their preferences into account. However, let's not overdo it with playing your favorite songs or artists.
Excessive homogeneity can be tiring, and for people with different musical tastes, even indigestible. Wedding music must suit everyone, although of course it is not easy to please people of different ages. A proven solution, when we take care of the musical setting ourselves, is to allow guests a bit of fantasy and madness - let them also have the right to present their favorite songs. Let's also think about the concert of wishes - it may turn out that this type of entertainment will provide you and your guests with a lot of fun!
