Taking a deep breath after you dive into planning a wedding is important. Remember this event is about you and your partner. Be comfortable, be yourselves, and have a good time.
Here comes the bride
Ok, now that we have the understanding that the event is about the couple… lets remember that all eyes will be on the bride! I’m not saying its right or that I agree with it, but its bound to happen so ladies show off some sustainable style!
Dresses
When contemplating your wedding dress there are 3 environmentally friendly options.
1. You can buy a dress made from sustainable materials such as hemp silk. Check out these options:
- My Corset
- Get Conscious
- Thread Head Creations
Vintage gowns can be a great blast from the past. Reusing a family heirloom can cut costs tremendously (just pay for tailoring!)
Try these:
- Gulden & Brown
- TheFROCK
- Posh Girl
You can also look for vintage dresses in consignment, resale, thrift and antique shops. Or try ebay!
3. Get out the thread and needle
Working with a tailor to custom make your wedding dress will allow you to express yourself creatively and get the exact results you want. If you are looking into custom making your dress you should also look into sustainable fabrics like those found here:
- Green Sage
- Near Sea Naturals
- Silk Road
