This paper describes the custom buklija which is still used in the Dalmatian
village of Drvenik during the wedding celebration. The terminology and
distribution of this custom is also examined through the relevant literature
and series of semi-structured interviews conducted in September 2014. This
paper can be a contribution to the research of wedding customs in the region
of Makarska littoral in a narrow sense and on the coast of the Adriatic Sea
in its hinterland in a broader sense.
Keywords: buklije, wedding customs, Drvenik, Makarska littoral
