Amazing pictures from a breathtakingly beautiful traditional Hutsul-style wedding - by Lviv-based LJ user dali-bude and his wife Marichka (the newlyweds' names are Ostap and Olya).

  1. Very beautiful. Some questions. Are the garments passed down from generation to generation or are they bought new or made specifically for the wedding?

    I love your blog. I always love the pictures of life in Ukraine. I show them to my daughter. She's at the age where she is curious about her birth country.
