Australian wedding avaAustralia is one of the most interesting and entrancing countries regarding wedding traditions. They’re a striking mix of aboriginal culture and diverse traditions of the Australian multicultural population. The unique history of this isolated continent created some very curious wedding traditions, customs, and rituals. And most of them deal with nature (earth, stones, smoke, etc) or are connected to ancient indigenous beliefs (family heirloom, authentic musical instruments, etc). The wedding traditions in Australia are truly unique.
