Describing something overly decorated or colorful.
زمینه فرهنگی
Armenian weddings are known for being grand. Sometimes the decor can become 'zizi-bizi' with an abundance of gold and flowers, which is a point of discussion among guests. At this open-air market, you will find both high-quality art and 'zizi-bizi' souvenirs. Locals use the term to distinguish between authentic craft and cheap, flashy items. During New Year (the biggest Armenian holiday), homes are decorated extensively. A tree that is 'zizi-bizi' is often seen as festive, though some prefer a more modern, simple look.
