It’s Finally Here! The Daalarna Couture Flowers Collection hits Irish Soil

Fashion & Jewellery

Every now and again we feature a designer who consistently floors us with their timeless, breathtaking creations and Hungarian couturier Anita Benes, the mastermind behind bridal label Daalarna Couture, is just one such designer. Brand new to Irish soil and exclusive to The White Room in Westmeath, the Daalarna collection with its classic silhouettes, spectacular fabrics and contemporary details epitomises the elegance of the modern bride, and their new collection adds a real edge to the label while still retaining its signature feminine feel.

The 2016 collection ‘Flowers‘ was inspired by nature and specifically by the plein-air landscape paintings of French Impressionist artist Claude Monet. The result is an offering of entirely ethereal creations which adopt the harmonious beauty of the natural elements through evocative flourishes of ornamentation. Floral lace embroidery, 3D daisy-like appliqués, light-as-air tulle and chiffon skirts and Monet-esque prints that conjure an image of spring fairies fluttering at the bottom of a garden in full bloom all combine to create a magical collection of wearable pieces of art.

One of our favourite features throughout the collection is the delicate French Chantilly lace scalloped necklines which frame the dress beautifully and add a real feminine feel. Figures are accentuated too through the use of crochet lace tops which pinch the waist and cascade into soft flowing tulle and chiffon skirts. Pearl and Swarovski elements add depth to each of the gowns.

‘Flowers’ is a stunning continuation of Daalarna’s previous offering ‘Pearl’ (also stocked in the wonderful White Room in Mullingar!). Benes’ understanding of the modern bride’s search for a wedding dress that is elegant, sophisticated, sexy and unique is on display in each dress, which often push the boundaries of bridal with deep necklines, low backs, skin-tight silhouettes and ultra modern fabrics. The boho bride and contemporary princess has been catered for too through the years by Benes – a designer who is not afraid of a ballgown and has a real penchant for a statement sleeve.
