Hutsuls

Hutsul wedding clothing from the Ukrainian Carpathians, 2017 Arranged on stands in a display, these Hutsul wedding clothes put the bride's wreath center stage: a tall crown of bright flowers with long ribbons streaming down over an embroidered shirt, a dark flowered shawl and a green flowered skirt. The groom's outfit beside it has a white shirt, a cream vest trimmed with black fur, a dark red belt and a black hat with flowers. Ukrainian bridal wreaths were traditionally built from artificial flowers, beads and other trimmings, with knee-length ribbons meant to cover the bride's loose hair all the way down.
