on to your cloche, you’re in for a 20’s spectacular.
I only have two words for Spanish Designer Yolan Cris’s 2011 Wedding Collection; Absolutely Divine! And I especially love the Revival Vintage Collection.
If you’re a flapper or if you know what a flapper is then this collection is definitely for you. Yolan’s attention to detail and understanding of the 20’s woman is clearly depicted throughout the entire collection of wedding dresses. The mixture of materials such as old chantilly, the godette tulle, and fringes give this collection a special grandeur.
To be honest, I was drooling over the Alquimia Collection first until I spotted the Revival Vintage Collection. I had such a hard time choosing which collection to write about but the 20’s Revival Vintage won it for me. (You can have a sneak peek at the end of the post at one of the dresses in the Alquimia Collection).
I discovered Yolan Cris while thumbing through the pages of the latest Cosmo Brides magazine (just one part of my job that I’m so lucky enough to have to do). Sometimes lots of unique and wonderful ideas leap out of just one magazine but other times you can have months when you’d be lucky enough to find one or two ideas that haven’t been repeated for the trillionth time. This morning was one of those times where the pages seemed like an endless desert of uninspired ‘stuff ‘ until finally I flipped a page and there before me was a picture of a Vintage Wedding Dress from Yolan Cris’s Alquimia Collection. It’s breathtaking (see the sneak peek below).
However I won’t ‘yabba-on’ anymore, instead may I suggest a nice, slow browse at the photos below over a cuppa. I am going to go and grab myself another cuppa tea and drown myself in the collection again…happy swimming Chickadees.
I’ve never encountered such beautiful, dainty lace work in a bridal couturier’s collection before.
The sensual silhouettes and sumptuous details add depth to all the dresses in the collection and it makes it so hard to pick a favourite. The dresses, the details like the models hair colour, the choice of headwear and the deep rich backgrounds of the photoshoot makes this a standout favourite collection of mine for this year.
Oh me, oh my!!!
And for the sneak peak of the pic that captured my oh so wandering attention.

Zarn ?
I want one of these dresses! But I live in the states…..how do I do so?????
please help!
Hey Emily, Thanks for getting in touch. Unfortunately on the Yolan Cris website they only have stockists throughout Europe. I am so sorry. They are the most divine dresses aren’t they. There are a few websites here in the UK that sell them (see below). Maybe you could try contacting the UK stockists to see if they ship overseas. Alternatively, contact Yolan Cris direct. I have contacted Yolan Cris direct for you also, hopefully I might get some helpful info for you. I will get in touch as soon as I here from them.
Best wishes
Zarn

I am also wondering how I can find out more about these dresses. I live in the US but these dresses are by far my favorite of anything else I’ve seen. If you have any helpful information I would really appreciate it.
Hey Carmen,
An little update on the dresses, there is a Boston store that stocks Yolan Cris if that helps.

These are truly dream dresses. How much do the dresses begin at ?? They are outstanding and possibly THE most beautiful wedding gowns I have ever seen! xx
My wedding will probably be just myself and the groom in a woodland setting in Scotland and this style would be perfect 🙂
Wow, your wedding idea sounds stunning, very much like a woodland fairytale! Do send me some pics of the big day, I’d love to see them.
I’m not sure how much the dresses begin at but there are two boutiques in the UK, give them a call and have a chat about prices and fittings etc. I am sure even though you’re up in Scotland, a great Boutique will help you get the best dress to fit even without a fitting.
