Bröllops

Bröllops is the Swedish word for wedding. It refers to the ceremony and celebration of a marriage between two people. Like weddings in many cultures, Swedish bröllops typically involve a religious or civil ceremony followed by a reception.

The ceremony can take place in a church, a registry office, or another location chosen by the couple. During the ceremony, vows are exchanged, rings are given, and the couple is declared married.

The reception, often called a bröllopsfest, is a social gathering where guests celebrate the newlyweds. This usually includes a meal, speeches, toasts, music, and dancing. Traditional Swedish wedding customs might include specific songs, games, or the bride wearing a flower crown. Guests often give gifts to the couple, which can range from practical household items to monetary contributions. The duration of a bröllops can vary, with some celebrations lasting the entire day and into the night. The term bröllops can also refer to specific elements related to the wedding, such as bröllopstårta (wedding cake) or bröllopskläder (wedding attire).
