Kokoshniks, cosmetics and tours: newlyweds at the All-Russian Wedding Festival received gifts from partners
The II
All-Russian Wedding Festival was held at the National Centre RUSSIA and
featured official marriage ceremonies for over 200 couples, along with a series
of celebratory events.
Festival
partners presented the newlyweds with gifts. For example, the brides took home
modern handmade kokoshniks from the brand "Patriotka" by Tatiana
Krancheva — not just an accessory, but a symbol of generational continuity,
family values, and cultural legacy.
The
perfumed cosmetics brand "Ovsyannikov" gifted couples a skincare set,
with packaging bearing the meaningful phrase: "The perfect duet is hearing
and feeling each other." The set included two products: gel soap and hand
cream, each in a 300 ml volume.
Kira-Lin
Nesterovich, a bride from Yakutia, shared her impressions.
"I’ve
always dreamed of a kokoshnik and will happily wear it. There were also
shampoo, shower gel and body cream in the box. Thank you all so much for the
gifts," said Kira-Lin Nesterovich.
Together
with her fiance Igor Tabachnik, she came to the festival from Saint Petersburg.
The couple met on social media. The bride shared that on the evening of their
first meeting, they both realised it was the beginning of something real —
their own story.
"We
absolutely love the National Centre RUSSIA. When we found out there was an
opportunity to get married in this wonderful place, we didn’t hesitate to
apply. We’re so happy it worked out — it was grand," Kira-Lin Nesterovich
emphasised.
Other
partners of the festival included the tour operator "Neva Seasons"
and the hotels "Theatre Square" and "Express Sadovaya."
Three newlywed couples will go on a three-day sightseeing tour to the northern
capital.
"Neva
Seasons" is one of the leading travel providers in Saint Petersburg and
Vyborg. The hotels "Theatre Square" and "Express Sadovaya"
are ideal honeymoon destinations, where modern design and comfort meet the
historical atmosphere of the cultural capital.
The II
All-Russian Wedding Festival was held with the support of the Presidential Fund
for Cultural Initiatives.
