Wedding traditions of Uzbekistan - wedding in Bukhara.

written by Ikat_Man

Wedding in Uzbekistan - it is a very responsible action, which is prepared very carefully. Mother of the maturing daughter, for many years, puts in a national trunk (sunduk) all that in the future should be needed in preparation for the wedding. This is not only his daughter's dowry, but those gifts (lengths of cloth to make dresses, shirts), which will need to bestow future relatives. A special attribute of the dowry is considered suzani (Suzani throws and suzani beddings). Girl embroideres them by hand herself, patiently, the pattern by pattern creating the picture of her soul. Then the suzani should hung on the wall of the bride’s room. Suzanis created in different regions of Uzbekistan, significantly differ from each other.

It could be anything - carpets, gold jewelry, paintings, furniture, buildings, horses and even people in his environment, he chosed for their beauty ... not to mention the women ...
One day, he saw a woman of indescribable beauty, and immediately wanted to take her to the palace itself. Padishah ordered his warriors find out where she lives and who her parents are. The servants brought to the palace the father of the girl. It was the poorest man in the city.

How-to: Ikat fabric design at the restaurant

written by Ikat_Man

How are you, our dear customers/visitors/friends... As I have promised, I am blogging some of the examples of designs our team have fulfilled using our own handmade interior products.
Well, we were not allowed to share photos with detailed quality, that is why we share only small-size photos with you.
This art-restaurant is located in the capital of Uzbekistan - Tashkent. But the managers, style and the served dishes are all Bukhara's. We were asked to create oriental interior design using ikat fabrics in national color tones. We have decided to use only cotton ikat fabric. Our skilled craftsman created curtains, wall covers, table-clothes and other little decorative interior crafts for this customer. We have also added several suzani to the large rooms and other national crafts.
Please, take a look yourself and share your opinion with us. We only will be glad to receive your feedback, inspite of it's positiveness or negativeness.

Where does all this things come from

written by Ikat_Man

I think... no, I do hope, that most of you, sometimes, think - "Where, the Hell, do all this beautiful things come from?". The answer is - one of the ancient cities in the world (Yes, it is true. Do not believe me? Then go to wikipedia - Ancient Bukhara and read a little), it is BUKHARA, the historical region of the world as a hole and Uzbekistan in particular. Ancient town of Bukhara - the land of magical lamps and Eastern beauties. Ancient Great Silk Road caravans never missed this town - the only oasis around. Nowadays Bukhara is famous not only for it's superb historical monuments, but for it's lovely arts and crafts. The result of the ancient culture is handicrafts like ikat fabric, suzani, bakhmal, different ikat cushion covers, suzani cushion covers, handmade carpets, ceramic crafts and many-many other things we are going to offer you at our store later.
For now, just take a look at this beautiful scenary and imagine that your in Bukhara... the ancient times... all is done with the hands and soul... no machinery... no chemistry... no pollution... the real world and nature in its first act...
