Ah, the morning after your wedding in Poland — welcome to the soft landing after the rollercoaster. You've survived the polonaise, vodka shots, and auntie's 3-hour speech. Now what? Let me take you by the hand (yes, even if it’s shaking slightly) and show you how to make this morning just as magical as the Big Day itself.
Poprawiny — the Polish Day-After Wedding Party
If you’re planning a wedding in Poland, you’ve probably heard this funny-sounding word: Poprawiny. Think of it as a „wedding hangover cure” but much more fun. It’s a second day of celebration — relaxed, heartfelt, sometimes a little chaotic, but always unforgettable.
Typically, it’s a more intimate gathering with close family and friends. You’ll eat leftover wedding dishes (yes, those delicious pierogi again), share stories from the wild night, and dance one more time, but barefoot this time. And here’s the real secret — many couples say they actually love Poprawiny even more than the wedding itself. Why? No stress, no formalities, just pure, authentic joy.
If you’re thinking: „Do I have to do this?” — no, but trust me, you’ll thank yourself later.
Brunch for the Soul (and the Stomach)
Not into a full-blown Poprawiny? No problem! A cozy post-wedding brunch is your best friend. Imagine: the smell of fresh coffee, a table full of sweet pastries, scrambled eggs with crispy bacon, and your loved ones around, still laughing at last night’s dance moves.
In Poland, many charming venues offer brunch options for newlyweds:
- Hotel Bristol Warsaw - Brunch
- Biała - Sopot — perfect if your wedding was near the sea.
Pro tip? Add a little mimosa bar or traditional żurek soup to wake everyone up.
Spa? Yes, Please!
After all the emotions, laughter, and... shots — your body needs love too. Poland is full of spas perfect for the morning after.
- Dr Irena Eris SPA Hotels
- Termy Bukovina in the Tatra mountains
Whether it’s a relaxing massage, sauna, or thermal pool session — you deserve it. Plus, it’s the best cure for those legendary Polish wedding hangovers. Trust me, I’ve seen it.
Photoshoot — Because Why Not?
Hey, you still look fabulous! Why not extend your wedding story with a casual post-wedding photoshoot? Less posing, more laughing. Maybe even wearing matching bathrobes and sipping coffee on a hotel balcony.
Some couples even go for a „trash the dress” session — jumping into a lake or running barefoot through a field. Wild? Maybe. Priceless? Absolutely.
Explore the City Like Tourists in Love
Why rush home? Turn the morning after into the first day of a mini-honeymoon. Whether you’re in Kraków, Gdańsk, or Warsaw — Polish cities are packed with charming spots:
- Stroll through Łazienki Park in Warsaw
- Kiss on Gdańsk’s Mariacka Street
- Enjoy coffee with a view of Wawel Castle in Kraków
It's your first day as a married couple — why not make it count?
