The wife of former Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Dmitry Kuleba, co-founder of the Knigolav publishing house Svetlana Paveletskaya, spoke about the costs of their wedding, which the couple organized in an intimate format. According to her, a significant part of the services during the holiday were provided by friends for free, and the total costs turned out to be minimal for such an event.

Paveletskaya shared this on InstaStories. She noted that the photo shoot for the couple was free because it was conducted by a family friend. Also, a makeup artist and a hair stylist, who are close friends of the bride, worked without pay..

" The photo was free because Vika is our friend and wouldn’t take money from us. The make-up and hairstyle were free, because Anichka is my friend, and she would have cursed me if I had offered her money,” Paveletskaya shared.

According to Paveletskaya, it was this fact that made preparing for the wedding much easier financially.. She added with humor that most of the services were actually “given to them by friends,” and suggested that in other conditions some of the work would have to be paid for.

The only clearly stated expense was the wedding bouquet, which cost about 4,000 hryvnia. It was composed of freesias. But the rest of the flower arrangements for the festive photo shoot were not created specifically for the event, but were “found” at home.

Paveletskaya also recalled that treats like strawberries and cream were a compliment from the establishment. She jokingly called this format of organization “very economical,” and called herself and her husband “freeloaders.”.

At the same time, she did not specify the cost of the wedding dress, jewelry and shoes.

However, it is known that for the ceremony she chose a white dress from the Ukrainian brand Gasanova with pearl details, and the image was complemented by light makeup and a collected hairstyle with flowers.

It is also known that the couple officially registered their marriage through the service in Dii. The cost of such a service, together with the ceremony via video link, depends on the day and time of the event and ranges from 0.85 UAH to 1663.85 UAH.

Previously, Kuleba repeatedly emphasized that they were not planning a high-profile wedding, and Paveletskaya herself stated that after the wedding she would not change her last name.
