Destination number one: The extraordinary Lappland

You can experience a beautiful winter wedding in the Czech mountains, places that you have fond memories of. And if you love traveling and skiing, there’s nothing better than having a wedding at one of the luxurious resorts in the Alps. But for us, the true meaning of a “luxurious winter wedding” is epitomized in Lappland – a part of Finland where you can be sure there’ll always be plenty of snow.

Beautiful nature, calm, and a star-filled sky. How would you like a glass igloo or a romantic hut? And the wedding ceremony itself could take place directly in a snow chapel! We didn’t make that up, this indeed is possible – in the wild nature of Lappland, located between the towns of Levi and Yllas, 5 kilometers from the nearest road. Well, and how does one get there? In a reindeer carriage, naturally!

A wedding with soft colors which is also full of contrast!

Luxurious white snow represents a perfect background which goes well with virtually all colors in the world. Fine salmon-pink or light blue – these are some of the colors of wedding gowns which will make sure the bride is always visible while keeping a magical look. And since it’s allowed to experiment with colors on a snow background, black gowns are also allowed! All you need is a bit of courage and your big day could be truly unique!

Luxury and elegance brought by nature

A beautiful winter atmosphere will be underscored by lit candles and a room warmed with a fireplace. Plastic materials and aggressive colors are not welcome – they can stay for instance in the kid’s room. Wood, glass, fur and soft colors are what goes well with true winter. Cold drinks are complemented with hot chocolate, punch or mulled wine… well, doesn’t that sound enticing?

Kutná Hora: the mining town

Kutná Hora was famous for the mining and processing of silver ore. In the 13th Century, one third of the silver in all of Europe was produced here! Silver also gave the city its name – from the word “kutat” (“to mine” in Czech).

Chandelier of human bones and other curios in the ossuary!

Not far from the city (in Sedlec) is another particularity, which draws hundreds of thousands of visitors every year: the ossuary of the All Saints cemetery church. The unique features include decorations made of human shoulder-blades, a chandelier made of human bones, a pyramid of 40,000 hones and other morbid decorations. Where did all this come from?

Sedlec became the destination for many pilgrims, and Christians from neighbouring countries would have themselves buried here, because being buried here was considered to be a promise of resurrection. Another 30,000 victims of the plague and fallen soldiers from the Hussite wars also found rest here.

Bones started being used for decoration only in the 16th Century. The current appearance of the ossuary is the work of Jan Blažej Santini. The last modifications were made in the 19th Century by woodcarver František Rint.

Bones in the ossuary, meat on the plate

Let us leave the bones in the ossuary and return to the historical centre of Kutná Hora. The lovely, picturesque town centre will delight everybody. You can also find many cafes and restaurants, but no visit to Kutná Hora would be complete if you left out lunch or dinner at the old Bohemian Dačický restaurant. Go back in time for a moment and enjoy the period atmosphere.

Famous names from Kutná Hora

Finally, let us recall some famous personalities associated with Kutná Hora. It is the birthplace of playwright Josef Kajetán Tyl. In the 1950s Karel Havlíček Borovský lived and worked here, and Kilián Ingnác Dienzenhofer and Petr Brandl were also active in Kutná Hora.
