Vladiyan Royal, the dream of every bride
We spoke to designers Lyudmila and Yuriy about creating one of the most iconic talismans in any woman's life, as well as the creative process behind the magic.
We have all imagined, even in the most feverish childhood daydreams, our wedding day. A beautiful silk and lace dress with a spectacular fall, the veil, a tiara, the love of our lives waiting for us at the altar. Our wedding day is that special moment in which we feel part of royalty, true princesses from fairy tales . Finding a brand that understands and exalts these values is essential.
Vladiyan Royal is one of the most splendid proposals in wedding dress brands. Behind it, there is an incredible love story of the founding couple, who gave life to Vladiyan and have been together since their youth.
Lyudmila and Yuriy built together more than a romantic story: a shared dream .
The designer tells us that her passion for weddings and creative design is deeply rooted in her family history. "As a child, I loved to sew and was involved in my family's wedding jewelry business. I had always wanted to create a fairy tale, and my husband Yuriy supported my dreams ».
Regarding the inspiration for creating Vladiyan, Yuriy says: “In the early 2000s, our family business in Chernivtsi sold wedding dresses. In 2007, Lyudmila created her first designs, which immediately found customers and confirmed that we were moving in the right direction . After success at international exhibitions, we established Vladiyan Royal in 2016 as a full-fledged brand."
For the creation of each design, Lyudmila draws inspiration from a variety of sources including people, breathtaking and bucolic landscapes , as well as aesthetically pleasing objects. “However,” she adds, “ my greatest source of inspiration lies in creating bridal designs that embody the joy of new families coming together , the heartfelt emotions of the wedding day, and the everlasting love that is celebrated. In my designs I strive to capture the joy and happiness of the occasion for both the couple and their parents, siblings and friends.
Symbolism of eternal love and magic, “a wedding day is more than just a celebration: it is the beginning of a new family . It marks a significant milestone in life, representing the continuation of the cycle of love and commitment. For those who value tradition, it is a momentous occasion signifying the transition from a girl to a woman. We all long to witness this special moment, to be present when a loved one makes a life-changing decision," explains the designer.
In addition to a majestic veil, there is another accessory that, according to Lyudmila, is the perfect fit for a queen.
We believe that wedding shoes are the next most important item for a bride after her special dress . A perfect pair of wedding shoes should not only be comfortable, but also make the bride feel confident and beautiful as she walks down the aisle and gives her first dance. That's why we're passionate about creating our own line of shoes , designed specifically for brides."
When it comes to design materials, the brand works primarily with light and flowing luxurious fabrics such as tulle , lace , silk , organza and chiffon . Each gown is meticulously handcrafted from the finest materials and embellished with intricate beading, delicate lace appliqués or dramatic embroidery to ensure each bride feels like royalty on her special day .
To ensure that each bride feels uniquely beautiful and confident on her wedding day, Vladiyan Royal is dedicated to customizing each gown with care and attention to detail .
« We understand the meaning of this garment and we strive so that each dress is the perfect reflection of the dreams and personality of the bride », the creatives agree.
With more than 50 retail stores around the world , the brand aims to open our own salons in Paris, Milan, London and New York, as well as in its native Ukraine, specifically Kiev and Lviv.
Vladiyan also launched the Loving Heart charity project , which donates dresses to brides waiting for their fiancés to return from the front , or to those who are serving their country.
