Dinner in Russian style. Russian-style wedding menu: traditional dishes and drinks for a feast
A festive table is an integral part of a Russian wedding. No other country can compare with the Russian customs of the wedding feast, despite the fact that large-scale feasts for this holiday are held everywhere. The menu of a Russian wedding is distinguished by an abundance of national dishes. Few people follow these traditions now because they are difficult and expensive to organize. But at a Russian-style wedding, you can’t do without a full-fledged Russian menu.
Story
Dishes in Rus' were not just for treats. Each of them was prepared with a symbolic meaning, usually with a wish.
Pies were the most important at the ancient feast. The serving of pies and fish pies was obligatory: they were considered simple bread and were offered as they were eaten. So there were enough pies for everyone.
Kurnik is the most important cake in the old days, without which not a single wedding feast could do. With chicken and wheat-grain filling, it was symbolic. Wheat was considered a sign of fertility and wealth, and the rooster and hen are birds that are symbols of rich fruiting and have a connection with the sky.
If the future spouses did not have enough for chicken meat, the kurnik was baked with millet, mushrooms and turnips as a filling.
In the kurnik one could find an egg in a shell or chicken bones. They put them there for good luck.
One of the two wedding cakes was baked by the bride's family, the second by the groom's family. On the cake, the girls made patterns in the form of various flowers. On the groom's cake were figures of people representing a family.
If now the choice of a dress and the color of a limousine is important for the bride, then in Rus' everyone was worried about the organization of the richest feast. The main dish in wealthy families is a goose in apples. It was believed that the more meat and fish dishes, the richer the celebration, because the poor did not have the opportunity to arrange a luxurious feast.
From alcohol at the Russian wedding feast there was nothing strong, they were treated only to honey, beer and mash.
Menu
When compiling the menu, do not forget: in Rus' they did not save on feasts, it was customary to treat guests with the best to show their generosity. You will need to arrange a big feast.
Dishes should be traditional, classic in Russian folk cuisine. These are not pizzas or sushi.
Example
- Cold appetizers - salads, vinaigrettes, aspics
First of all, it is customary to serve cold appetizers. They should be enough for all guests who will consume alcohol. Cold appetizers always come with salted and smoked fish, caviar, herring, pickled mushrooms, cabbage and pickles.
- Hot snacks - baked mushrooms, omelettes, meat, vegetables
Hot appetizers are served alongside cold appetizers, although they are rare in home and restaurant cuisine. However, these are the best snacks for alcoholic drinks. They need to be beautifully designed and decorated with the products that make up the dish.
- Fish - jellied, stuffed
Jellied / stuffed fish is an important part of the wedding menu, especially at a Russian wedding. It is served immediately after appetizers.
- Meat snacks - stuffed pork, cuts
Meat snacks go with fish. They must be present on the wedding table, as they are usually in great demand.
- Other dishes - vegetable, mushroom
An important part of the menu at a Russian wedding in summer or autumn is fresh vegetable dishes. If your wedding takes place in winter or spring, swap fresh vegetables for pickled and salted ones, or use mushrooms.
- Main hot dishes - game, meat on a spit, roast goose, suckling pigs
Russian cuisine is rich in hot dishes. Choose large dishes that will also decorate the table: a whole pig, a turkey, a goose in apples. Place the main course immediately in the center of the table, and when it comes to them, reheat, cut and serve.
- Dessert - pies, other pastries, loaf, cake in the form of a samovar or matryoshka
A festive cake is included in any menu, without it a wedding feast is not a feast at all. In the case of a Russian wedding, instead of a festive cake, it is customary to serve a large loaf and sweet apple or berry pies. If guests really want a cake, bake it in the form of a samovar or nesting dolls.
- Drinks - fruit drink, compote, uzvar, jelly
Guests will want alcohol. It must correspond to the Russian style. Choose vodka and wines with names that have a Russian flavor. Homemade alcoholic drinks are also suitable: vodka, which is infused with berries, etc.
The offers of event agencies are full of all kinds of events, the themes of which relate to cultures and traditions unfamiliar to us. Russian folk style unfairly relegated to the background. So why not recreate old traditions and have fun in the images of brave guys and Russian beauties?
How to invite guests in Russian style?
For any holiday, the theme of which is Russian traditions, the ideal invitation would be a postcard decorated with Khokhloma, Gzhel painting. And you can put the text in a nesting doll - you get an unusual invitation, and an excellent souvenir that can set guests on the right wave.
Where and how to organize fun?
The basic rule for a Russian party is the bigger the room, the better. Ideally, such festivities should take place in the open air in nature or on the territory of a country cottage.
To recreate the picture of past years and impregnate the atmosphere with a real Russian spirit, you need to add a certain number of details to the decor of the room: bundles of straw, bear skins on the floor and on the walls, beautifully arranged wicker baskets, nesting dolls and caskets. Dishes on the tables should be wooden and earthenware. Tables and chairs can be covered with burlap, canvas, and wooden lampshades can be hung from the ceiling.
Do not forget to emphasize the style of your party with fabrics with patterns in Russian folk style.
Chairs, a festive table, walls can be decorated with such patterns, even waiters can have a uniform with elements of such a pattern, however, however, do not overdo it with patterns! There should be one leader, the rest can only partially supplement it in the design details.
What outfit to choose for a Russian folk party?
There are two ways to decide the dress code for a Russian-style party. The first is an authentic outfit that belongs to folk costumes, recreated in its original form. The second is to dress in modern clothes, stylized as folk. Today, many fashion designers offer quite stylish and comfortable things that will be appropriate not only for a themed event, but also for everyday life.
Girls should pay attention to sundresses and shirts with puffed sleeves. The head is decorated with a kokoshnik or ribbon. Be sure to collect hair in a braid, owners of short haircuts can think about false hair.
The approximate composition of a suit for guys looks like this: wide loose pants, an embroidered satin shirt and a scarlet sash. A cap with a flower on the head will complement the image.
What to serve on the table in the Russian style?
Russian cuisine has always been distinguished not only by its unique flavor, but also by delicious and hearty dishes. Serve roasted poultry or roasted pig. For meat, you can cook potatoes, mushrooms. All kinds of pickles must be present on the table: tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage. From sweets: gingerbread, bagels, cranberries in sugar, jam.
Drinks that were popular in Rus': kvass, mead. Of the “stronger” options - vodka, of course. Organize a real tea party behind a samovar.
For table setting, tablecloths with a Russian folklore pattern will come in handy, the dishes can be wooden, and in the middle of the table there is a huge samovar, all this will certainly complete the interior design of your evening.
What music to dance to and how to have fun?
The musical accompaniment of the evening is Russian folk songs that can be found in the recording (the ensemble "Golden Ring", for example), or invite a folk group that will perform several numbers live. If the guests of the holiday are young people, then order a DJ who will make excellent dance hits based on folk songs.
A Russian person likes to have fun, so entertainment should be appropriate. Arrange a tug of war, and, despite the fact that this is a purely male entertainment, attract girls to the exciting action - it will be a lot of fun!
Another interesting competition about the bath! To carry it out, you need to prepare all kinds of equipment that you need to go to the bathhouse: brooms, basins, sheets, hats for the steam room. Several players must dance to an incendiary melody, but at the same time “steam” with a broom. At a certain point, the music stops, and then the players must very quickly pull on their hats, wrap themselves in a sheet and flop into the basin. Whoever is faster wins!
From quiet entertainment, a quiz on knowledge of Russian culture and traditions is suitable - an excellent break between music and dance marathons. In addition, guests will also like contests in which you need to remember Russian folk ditties and songs. Give prizes to the winners and let them be objects of Russian folk art.
A Russian-style party is not only fun, joy and dancing, it is a kind of tribute to the traditions and culture of our country. So let's popularize what is so often forgotten. Our ancestors knew how to have fun, let's learn from them?

Red girls and glorious heroes, remember the traditions of the people? Let's rest so that the devils in hell become unbearable? Noisy Russian parties in folk style - this is general fun, loud songs, ditties, Slavic fun and revelry to the fullest! Let's measure strength and ingenuity, arrange a feast for the whole world!
A peasant yard, a Russian hut, royal mansions or a boyar tower? The first option is ideal for a holiday in the fresh air - in nature or in the courtyard of a private house. To create an atmosphere, decorate the perimeter with a fake wattle fence (a fence made of willow, hollow or willow branches), sheaves of hay, figurines or images of livestock. In the distance or near the house "exhibition" - a Russian party with a contest "Guess what it is and what it was used for?". Tools (carded, scraper and adze, hoe, etc.) can be drawn and cut out of cardboard.
Peasant hut - earthenware and wooden rough dishes, linen or hemp fabrics, wild flowers, bast shoes and felt boots, barrels and tubs, rough unhewn furniture. The queen of the house (Russian stove) can be drawn or made from cardboard. Boyarsky tower - Khokhloma, "bear" skins, wide long benches, feather beds with pyramids. The royal party in the Russian folk style is a decoration rich in silver, gold and stones, thin cotton or silk tablecloths, carved furniture, shelves with expensive dishes and clay figurines on the walls.
Suitable for decoration:
- garlands of dried mushrooms, berries and fruits, onions and garlic. Bunches of fragrant herbs and sprigs of mountain ash, flowering apple trees, cherries;
- painted nesting dolls, caskets, chests. A large chest can be left open, putting costume elements inside, so that guests can choose accessories to their taste;
- wooden utensils, stavets or tubs, baskets and tubs. The original decor is a cut plastic bottle with wild flowers inserted into a felt boot or into a tub (if the tub is wide, the bottles are placed tightly so as not to stagger);
- stylized scarves, shawls, head coverings.
Do not try to use as many decorative elements as possible. Enough of a few details, but well thought out and sustained in the same style. For example, Gzhel and Khokhloma, coarse wooden and fine workmanship, unbleached linen and fine fabrics do not go well together.
Suits
For a theme party, Russian-style costumes include a peasant dress, a boyar caftan, a royal outfit, and a hero’s chain mail. Therefore, in the invitation, specify the dress code if you want good people to be from the same class. You can arrange a fair or a folk festival, where all the honest people had fun on an equal footing:
We invite queens and kings,
Knights and heroes,
funny buffoons,
Peasant and boyars,
Whether you are a prince or a milker!
The simplest version of a women's suit consists of a white shirt with wide sleeves (tunic, ethnic ornament on the collar, hem and sleeves) and a long sundress (red, yellow, blue, green). On the head there is a wreath, ribbon or kokoshnik (can be made of cardboard, covered with fabric and decorated with beads), on the legs there are bright little laces (shoes or boots). Large jewelry made of stones, beads, beads, blackened silver.

For men- a wide belted shirt with wide sleeves (do not forget about the ornament), loose dark pants (plain or longitudinal stripes). Trousers were tucked into boots or gathered down with a braid of onuchi or bast shoes. So that the strong half of humanity does not feel constrained at a Russian party, you can wear loose trousers of standard length and simple dark-colored shoes.
Stylized costumes for leading and most active guests:
Or even like this - modern, comfortable and beautiful:
Menu
To withstand the atmosphere, set the table with the simplest dishes or vases with recognizable ornaments, plant motifs, rural animals (for example, roosters surrounded by flowers - Gorodetskaya, Petrikovskaya painting). The main decoration of the table is a brilliant samovar, bursting with heat. If there is no place for a samovar on the common table, put it against the wall on a small table. Around the samovar there was jam and jam in pot-bellied jars, candied fruits and berries, dryers and gingerbread, cockerels (lollipops).
At festivities in the Russian folk style, the table should burst with treats. A party can cost a pretty penny or turn out to be very economical, depending on which dishes of Slavic cuisine to choose:
- goose in apples, chicken, game, roasted pig;
- jellied or baked sturgeon, black and red game;
- roast with mushrooms, porridge with meat or mushrooms, okroshka, casserole, cabbage soup;
- salted milk mushrooms and boletus, tomatoes and cucumbers, pickled apples, sauerkraut with cranberries;
- pies, rolls, cheesecakes, pies, pancakes and pancakes, carols, bagels;
- baked or boiled potatoes, steamed turnip, herring;
- "our" fruits and berries. You can put a dish with pineapples, bananas, kiwi, etc., with a comic sign “Gifts to the light prince from the Byzantine ambassador” or “Beware of foreign fruits!”.
From drinks– traditional vodka and mead. Crazy mash and hoppy beer can be poured with a ladle with a spout straight from an oak barrel! Contrary to popular belief, the Slavs drank "drunk" drinks only on these occasions: a wedding, a military victory, the death of a family member, the birth of a child. Therefore, the party does not have to turn into a banal booze, add low-alcohol drinks to the menu - birch tree (fermented birch sap with sugar), kvass, sat (fermented honey water). From non-alcoholic - non-hop kvass, compotes and juices from fruits, berries and vegetables, herbal teas.
Entertainment
In addition to a noisy feast, festivities in Russian traditions necessarily include games of ingenuity, courage and, of course, strength. We will not offer to beat each other with a log or beat with fists until one falls.
1. But dancing is a sacred thing! Apple, Cossack, Kamarinskaya, mistress, Kalinka and Metelitsa - invite guests to repeat the movements of the host (animator) or dancer on the video. Do not forget to prepare Russian music for the party, in original or modern version.

2. Invite guests to guess the next line of the folk song (prepare the text or audio cut in advance). Or let them guess the name of the musical instrument. Instead of real instruments, use drawings, photos or toy miniatures: horn and flute, domra and balalaika, palms and rattle, rubel, bells, etc.
3. The serpent Gorynych fell to taste the heroic silushka - beware, evil spirits, Russian peasants! According to the scenario of the party, the guests are divided into two teams. Tie balloons to the back of a chair (how many people are in the team, so many balloons). Prepare two wooden swords. Participants from each team must quickly “cut off Gorynych’s head” with a sword, i.e. pop one balloon. Happened? Pass the sword to the next participant (the team whose Gorynych fell faster wins). Guests will swing the stick quite actively, so place chairs at arm's length plus the length of the sword.
4. Invite the good fellows to surprise the people with their accuracy. The game "Pile" - a metal ring on the ground (or on a piece of foam), a thin metal pointed rod 15 cm (you can just use a large nail or a heavy dart). The larger the ring, the farther you need to stand. The glorious knight must throw a "spear", hitting the ring.
The games "Skovoroda" and "Drunk Carter" are held under cheerful Russian songs. For parties in a large room (with a dance floor) or outdoors.
5. "Frying pan" - a circle marked on the ground (half). You can draw with chalk or paint, draw in the soil, lay out with a ribbon - whatever you like. The diameter of the circle is slightly less than the diameter of the round dance of the participants. All guests are divided into two teams and form a round dance so as to stand through one (a member of the boyar team is a member of the peasant team, etc.). Music sounds, the round dance moves in a circle. Suddenly, the music stops - the team members are trying to "fry" the opponents, pulling them by the hands into the "frying pan" (into the circle). Stepped on the "frying pan" - dropped out of the game.
6. To play the "drunk carter" you will need three ropes about two meters long. The ends of the ropes are tightly tied together. Loose ends are wrapped around the waist of three participants. At the command of the “horse of a drunken driver,” the rod is pulled in different directions. The winner is the one who pulls the other two participants to his side. There can be several “triples”, the winners of the “triples” compete among themselves until the strongest “horse” is determined.
At the end of the party, give out Russian-style gifts to the most active participants or memorable presents to all those invited: nesting dolls, wooden spoons, scarves, beads and ribbons for girls, carvings, painted boxes.
7. To play "Turnip" you need a strong pole or something solid that you can tenaciously grab onto. The “turnip” hugs the pole with his arms and legs, the rest of the participants line up in a chain, holding each other by the waist, and try to “pull out the turnip”. Each participant can be a “turnip”, the leader determines the winner (who lasted longer, count aloud or use a stopwatch).
