EI little Bit about Evegniia

Since my childhood I have loved to create flower crowns. My first flower crown was made from dandelions. Each time when I visited my family in the countryside, I always created wreaths from wild flowers.

The flower crown or wreath, as we call it in my country, is one of the oldest symbols of Ukraine.

It’s hard to imagine a true Ukrainian girl without a wreath. Since olden times, Ukrainian girls decorated themselves with different wreaths emphasizing their tenderness, femininity, youth. It was believed that a wreath wields power to still pain, attract love, and protect from the evil spirit. Each flower in the wreath had its own specific meaning. Girls expressed their feelings and state of mind and told about what happened in their lives using the language of flowers.

Today a flower wreath is not only a symbol of Ukraine but also is an unbelievably stylish, modern accessory.

So let’s create together one of a kind ethnic decoration forming the basis of Ukrainian national identity.
