Weddings in Uzbekistan are deeply rooted in tradition and vary across different provinces, reflecting regional customs, cultural influences, and historical heritage. Although key elements such as nikah, fotiha toy, and kelin salom are observed nationwide, regional variations emerge due to historical, cultural, and social influences.
Samarkand and Bukhara incorporate Persian influences, Khorezm features lively music and dance, and the Fergana Valley emphasizes community celebrations. Karakalpakstan, with its nomadic heritage, showcases distinct attire and symbolic rituals. Despite modernization, these traditions continue to preserve Uzbekistan's cultural identity.
