Many beautiful traditions

Burgenland is a country rich in traditions, which maintains its culture, customs and rituals and passes them on to the next generations. The world's 'classic' wedding custom is undoubtedly to wear something new, something old, something borrowed and something blue (a blue handkerchief or a blue garter) on the day of the wedding. In Burgenland, this tradition is extended to include an object: the bride wears a personal gift from a family member or a very close friend.

• The 'Green Bride' is typical for the Neusiedlersee region.
• The day before the big event, the bride wears green clothes. Green stands for fertility and is said to guarantee an abundance of children.
• Superstition plays an immense role in many rural areas, which is why the groom carries a piece of iron in his trouser pocket during the wedding ceremony. It wards off evil and jealous spirits.
• The custom of cutting up the tie is a nice financial boost for the couple.
• The groom's tie or plastron is cut into tiny pieces and sold to the guests as a souvenir.
• Stealing the bride's shoe - usually after midnight - and auctioning it off at a high price is also a popular custom.
• During 'Beugeln' the bride and groom distribute traditional wedding pastries to their guests.

We wish you lots of joy with a wedding on the most beautiful steppe lake!
