Wedding in an Intimate Circle: Organization Details
Svitlana Paveliecka mentioned that a large part of the expenses was reduced thanks to the support of friends. In particular, the photography of the newlyweds was done by a close friend, Vika, completely free of charge, driven by her own desire. Another friend, Anika, was responsible for the makeup and hairstyle, who, according to Paveliecka, categorically refused to take money for her work.
“To be honest, we are a bad example,” Svitlana wrote, jokingly calling herself and her husband “freeloaders.”
Among the actual expenses, Svitlana noted only one specific amount: the wedding bouquet of freesia cost approximately 4000 hryvnias. For the photo session, they did not order floral arrangements but used those that were at home.
The Bride’s Look and Marriage Registration
Ms. Paveliecka did not disclose the cost of her dress, jewelry, or shoes. It is known that for the ceremony she chose a white dress from the Ukrainian brand Gasanova, adorned with pearls, complemented by light makeup and a hairstyle with flowers.
The couple registered their marriage online through the “Diia” app, using the video format for the ceremony. The cost of this service depends on the day and time and ranges from less than one hryvnia to just over one thousand five hundred hryvnias.
