Hei.
I've got relatives all around the country and these are the things that almost all of them had on the menu:
-karjalanpiirakat and munavoi (egg+butter)
-some kind of salmon...smoked, cold smoked or salted? (graavilohi)
-rye bread
-berries in all kinds of ways, usually in pastries..choice of berries would be between blueberry, cloudberry, lingonberry, raspberry and strawberry, usually no others
-for sweet stuff some kind of cookies and at least one kind of kuivakakku (don't know how to translate, but cake with no filling or topping and a hole in the middle) and of course pulla
- the recipe someone wrote on the wedding cake is definately a must: normal sponge cake, couple of layers with whipped cream and berries and berries on top and whipped cream on the sides ....several smaller cakes and no fondant
Maybe you can order reindeer meet from somewhere here, who knows?!? And for the music, the march I've heard the most is Prinsessa Ruususen häämarssi and for the waltz Akselin ja Elinan valssi
Hope this is any help
We were leaving the next day for our honeymoon in Sweden so we had no choice but to eat it rather than throw it away. So there we were on our wedding night in bed with this berry and cream laden Finnish wedding cake
