The Dniester wedding is known for its traditional dances, each of which has a certain symbolic meaning. For example, the pre-wedding dance of the couple symbolizes their readiness to enter into marriage, while the bride's dance with her relatives is a farewell to her parental home.

The Dniester wedding is rich in symbolic protective charms, which are used at various stages. Wheat, flowers, candles, and bread serve as protective symbols and represent fertility, abundance, health, and a bright future. Towels are also often used at weddings, acting as protective symbols for the couple and representing the life journey they will walk together.
