{Ethnic Couture} | Amazing Wedding Kimonos 2011

Traditional Japanese wedding kimono: white uchikake kimono from  Scena D'uno 2010 collection, designed and modeled by Uno Kanda

I wanted to leave you this week with some amazing and simply gorgeous creations from Scena D’uno to keep your mind a flutter all weekend.

I simply cannot explain how in awe I am of these beautiful kimono robes.  I thought last year’s collection was to die for.  Again this year, Uno Kanda personally models her beautiful designs that are out of the world!  Pretty ruffles, unexpected textures and patterns, certainly make this one of the most stunning collections to date.  Scene D’uno’s 2010 collection demands attention, whether you’re looking for a kimono or not!

Inspiration for this pale yellow creation could certainly be a daffodil.  Unexpected fluttering butterflies and leopard print trim make this a one of a kind creation.

I love the use of traditional western wedding dress fabric — embroidered organza instead of silk or satin usually utilized for traditional kimonos — for this bridal coat, a truly unique fusion modern kimono is born. Do you love the purple on lavender as much as I do?

Scena D’uno is taking inspiration from Japanese youth with the next two kimono! Their eclectic style is wrapped up with polka dots and ruffles and topped with a pretty pink bow! Altogether now… KAWAII!!!

The many interpretations of this traditional Japanese style of dress are equally fascinating as they are enticing.  I’ve recently been introduced to the fashion house of Scena D’uno, thanks to one of my favorite style resources: Wedding Nouveau who introduced me to Wedding Inspirasi and now I am ecstatic to be sharing with all of you!

Feast your senses on these imaginative and vibrant Japanese kimonos, inspired by the warmth and blossom of floral chic, brocades and the mist of spring flavor.


I absolutely love this one!! So soft and femine.
