Easter Sunday: the experience of the Ogonka team
If you've been following us for a long time, you know that the whole team loves the holidays! We've already told you about choosing gifts for the New Year on the blog, We summed up the team year on Ogonyok's birthday, and now it's time to talk about our favorite Easter traditions. After all, Easter is undoubtedly the main holiday of spring. The day when the whole family and friends gather at one table, regardless of what is happening around. How we set the festive table, what we cook on Easter Sunday, what outfits we choose and which Easter eggs we have not betrayed for many years - all this is discussed in the material below.
A modern look at Ukrainian traditions
No matter how hedonistic it may sound, the first association with a favorite holiday is a laid festive table with a dozen full plates and glasses. However, these plates and glasses often do not change for years, because all the attention is drawn to new recipes and the choice of the best wine to go with them. Dishes are fair! Even scientists confirm that our pleasure from a meal directly depends on its presentation. Especially when there are dishes from Gunia Project on the table.
The main idea and concept of the brand is the adaptation of Ukrainian folk images on functional objects of everyday use. Yes, art has long ceased to be something that needs to be viewed exclusively from the outside. To learn more about Ukrainian culture, it is no longer necessary to rush to the local history museum - you can study it while having a pleasant time at the table with your loved ones. Gunia Project dedicated a new thematic collection of dishes to Easter - in it cherubs, lambs, Mary and other elements from folk icons are combined with geometric ornaments and floral patterns. The brand team is very reverent about traditions - this dish was created to give birth to new ones. So for Christmas we traditionally decorate the table with Gunia Christmas dishes , and next Sunday we will put Easter egg holders and Easter cake plates on the table for the first time.
Minimalist textiles for the festive table
We do not agree that beauty is only in the details - it is everywhere. But it is the details that place punctuation marks in the beauty around: when necessary, they put a period, and sometimes a flirtatious semicolon. In our case, such details at the festive table are Rechi napkins and tablecloths . Like a favorite playlist from the 80s and 90s, they always complement our team's festive tables. Textiles do an imperceptible, but such an important job for someone, giving pleasure not only visually, but also to the touch.
We love to eat.
Of course, we couldn't help but write about food. As for the main symbol of the holiday, here the whole team is in solidarity - we adore Easter cakes from Odessa's Make My Cake . While we are happy to do the egg painting ourselves, we delegate the baking to professionals. We love eating Easter cakes with sour cream or Greek yogurt - we recommend trying it if you haven't done so before. In addition to Easter cakes and colorful Easter eggs, our Easter table usually includes boiled young potatoes with dill, spring salad with wild garlic, cheese and lots of fresh spring vegetables.
Time for spring dresses
Despite the fact that the weather forecast has been disappointingly showing rain for two weeks, it is noticeably warmer outside the window — and they promise a real spring for Easter. Each girl in our team has already chosen her dress for Sunday's celebration — they settled on dresses from Ukrainian Sleeper and British RIXO.
If you read our previous article about cottage core , you already know that Sleeper dresses are perfect for an Easter weekend at the cottage or on the terrace of your house. And if you want something even brighter, choose RIXO dresses - as the founders of the brand say, in them "you will be the best version of yourself." Consider that we have already conducted a real crash test of our favorite Easter dresses, only the only collision they had to survive was a collision with the beautiful.
