The traditional Bulgarian costume is one of the most typical elements of Bulgarian folk culture. Each region has its own costume style with unique motifs. The Bulgarian costume contains many elements from the pagan beliefs and legends. For example, no one wore clothes with fully symmetrical decorations because it was believed that full symmetry was a diabolical creation. Therefore, elements were often added and removed; those were, so to say, intentional mistakes. Bulgarian women used to make their costumes (called ‘nossia’) all by themselves.

Pomak bride, Bulgaria.
Perhaps what is most interesting of all local customs is the traditional Pomak wedding in the village of Ribnovo which has preserved the old Bulgarian engagement customs and the local customs influenced by Islam. The wedding season is during the autumn and winter and the holiday lasts for 5 days and is accompanied by a lot of singing and dancing on the village square. The culmination is during the second day – the painting of the bride’s face, so-called lepene na gelina
