I have three words for you: Extravagant. Russian. Weddings.
They’re a thing, and I like them very much.
Perhaps too much. Of course, I have serious issues with an institution that continues to be more and more intertwined with excessive materialism, objectification of women, and remains, in Australia, completely discriminatory.
But sometimes, on a Friday afternoon, you just want to take a break from fighting against overwhelming social inequalities, and have a peek through over-the-top pictures of a millionaire’s wedding in Moscow. Amirite?!
What’s your biggest wedding regret? Post continues after video.
SO, here’s the deal. Violetta Nakhimova is the latest bride to throw a lavish wedding at Safisa, the prime venue for high society figures who want to host an unforgettable event.
She arrived to her ceremony on a horse-drawn carriage (obviously).
Nakhimova, who is a prominent Russian fur designer, wore a stunning white gown and full veil, and held a bouquet of white and baby pink flowers. As she walked down the aisle and met her groom, Daniel, guests and professionals photographed the couple in all their over-the-top glory.
