Marxloh · postcode 47169
Around Weseler Straße in Marxloh you’ll find one of Germany’s densest clusters of bridal fashion and wedding supplies – many call it “the miracle of Marxloh”. Couples travel here from all over Germany and from abroad, because almost everything you need for a wedding is in one place.
Here’s an overview by sector – and where we, MINA Jeweller, come in: with gold, wedding rings and bridal jewellery.
The heart of the mile: bridal gowns (Gelinlik), evening and engagement dresses in countless shop windows, plus bridal shoes and accessories. Alongside the white dress, the henna dress for the Kına night matters too – often a red, gold-threaded velvet Bindallı. Many houses alter, hire out or tailor to measure. Families once travelled to Turkey for this; today everything is right here.
For the groom (Damat), there’s everything from the classic suit and the tuxedo to festive three- and four-piece outfits. Plus shirts, ties, cufflinks and shoes – often on the same streets as the bridal fashion and usually with an alteration service.
Wedding rings, marriage jewellery and traditional Turkish gold (set/Takım, Bilezik) are an inseparable part of the wedding. At the Takı ceremony, gold coins (Çeyrek, Ata, Reşat) and bangles are pinned visibly on the couple – as a blessing and a financial head start into married life. Turkish bridal gold is mostly 22 carat (916). This is exactly where we are at home: we advise you on gold (585/916), wedding rings and bridal jewellery.
This is usBridal styling, make-up and elaborate updos (Gelin Başı) are part of the big day – as is the styling for the henna night. Salons and beauty studios often offer complete packages with a trial run, nails and hair accessories.
Tiered wedding cakes and Turkish specialities such as baklava and Şekerpare for the celebration and the guests. A sweet parting gift for guests is also common; many patisseries deliver straight to the venue.
Invitations and menu cards (Davetiye), place cards and printed matter – often custom-designed, frequently bilingual and with gold embossing. With large guest lists, several hundred cards are soon needed.
Bridal bouquet, car, table and hall decoration, and floral design. Elaborate stage and seating decorations for the couple are popular, often as a festive “throne”.
Wedding photographers and video studios accompany the day – from the outdoor shoot through the ceremony to the finished album and film. Drone footage and a pre-wedding shoot are often part of it.
Function halls (Düğün Salonu), catering and event services for celebrations of any size – Turkish weddings often have several hundred to over a thousand guests. Add music (live or DJ), technical equipment and staff; many halls offer complete packages.
The decorated wedding car (Gelin Arabası) brings the couple to the celebration in style – from a ribbon-trimmed car to a luxury limousine. Providers hire out vehicles with a driver and matching floral decoration, often in a wedding convoy.
While the mile offers everything around the celebration, we are here for the golden part: wedding rings, Turkish bridal jewellery and gold gifts for the engagement and wedding. We advise you at your ease – right in the middle of Marxloh on August-Bebel-Platz.
