Something old, something new today as we take a look the new folk wedding dresses by Daalarna couture- we first met them One Fine Day, we fell in love with their modern boho take on bridalwear and their beautiful designs had us swooning! We find out all about their new collections ‘FOLK’ and ‘CURVY’ and what inspired their new designs…
“Tradition meets modernity, and old meets new in the FOLK bridal collection, which merges traditional Hungarian folk-art shapes and design elements with Daalarna’s modern, feminine and sophisticated signature style.”
“Puff sleeves and midi skirts made with layered and pulled techniques, geometric and floral motifs, as well as lace frills and pearl decorations – these romantic designs make each bridal gown stand out. Besides the well-known bridal fabrics (lace, tulle, organza), there are some new authentic and unique additions like cotton, linen, and cotton lace. With the new FOLK collection, Daalarna designer, Anita Benes, not only aims to bring back these unique folk designs into the public eye, but emphasizes more conscious choices for the younger generation.”

[line]“In the past, a wedding or casual dress used to accompany its owner for the rest of her life. Therefore, women made smarter choices regarding shapes, tailoring, or colors. I love the way they formed the dresses with logic and spirit by respecting the fabrics and creating minimal wastage. While they tailored the dresses, they never forgot about the fact that it had to last at least a lifetime and might need some adjustments as it was not rare that later on, the next generation inherited them. In a modern sense, these amazing dresses were real basics and are the eternal symbols of a more sustainable society.”
“Daalarna’s newest capsule collection CURVY was designed to help women of all shapes and sizes to feel confident and comfortable while wearing the wedding dress of their dreams.”
“As a wedding designer, I have seen many beautiful brides, and I can tell that happy and confident brides are the prettiest.’ – says Anita Benes. At Daalarna, we offer customisations on all our styles because we believe that one of the key elements of a beautiful smile is a dress which fits perfectly. It makes me very sad to see some brides trying to drastically change or hide themselves on their big day just because they think they are not perfect in terms of society. The CURVY collection has been designed to encourage them and to celebrate their lovely curves.”
“While at Daalarna, any of our designs can be made to measure, the CURVY capsule collection consists of six wedding dresses which were inspired by previous Daalarna brides’ favorite styles. The dresses have been made to highlight the beauty of the feminine body while providing brides with the feeling of comfort. While designing these dresses, Anita Benes focused on the smallest but most important details such as soft, wavy sleeves, elegant décolletages, and innovative use of materials. These tiny changes help brides feel beautiful and comfortable at the same time.”
“To prove that you should not hide yourself under any circumstances, a mermaid dress is also part of the CURVY collection. Nowadays, this style is considered the symbol of feminine clothing, and many celebrities wear it on the red carpet to prove they are proud of their feminine bodies.”
“At Daalarna, our main goal stays the same for the future: helping our brides to feel the happiest, luckiest, and most beautiful on their wedding day.”
