Wedding at the Armenian Church of Venice

The Armenian Wedding traditions are some of the most ancient in the world. Venice has always been a crossroad of histories and cultures, and as it goes for the historical Jewish Community and Synagogues, Armenian people have their own little piece of the city.

We are talking about the spectacular island of San Lazzaro degli Armeni: a small, secluded island in the middle of the lagoon that hosts one of the most important Armenian culture centers of the whole world, founded in 1717.

We loved this Armenian wedding in Venice, in particular, because it fully showed the beauty of clashing cultures and mixing the old and the new.

Ancient wedding traditions and rituals, like the crowning of the bride and groom and the hooded priests, together with the brand new: a high-fashion, custom-made wedding dress, Louboutin shoes, water taxis, and fancy dinners.

History, love, traditions, pure beauty, and happiness – it was simply a stunning event.
