Where to find traditional green wedding dresses

Jennifer — Thu, 28 May 2009 03:40:22 +0000

It’s green wedding month here at THF, and earlier we looked at some vintage and casual green wedding dresses. However, if you’re looking for something a little more traditional, you still do have green options.

Your first best bet for a traditional gown that’s also earth-friendly is to go used. Wear your mama’s gown, look at consignment shops, or visit estate sales. For some new green gown choices keep reading…

Conscious Clothing creates unique green wedding gowns using environmentally friendly,SBP (sustainable and biodegradable product) hemp fabrics. The Basic Strapless Gown is shown above and the details on the organic cotton lace around the neckline is amazing!

Threadhead Creations: Actually, they carry some really unique wedding dress choices, but also some more traditional eco-friendly wedding gown choices too. Such as the Grace dress (seen above) which features a scoop bodice with an open back. The gown is hand-crafted with an eco-friendly blend of hemp/silk.

Other places to look…

Annatarian: amazing custom work on wedding gowns.
Olivia Luca: Custom create your own eco-gown.
Adele Wechsler: AMAZING GOWNS. In fact I’ll say it twice – AMAZING. The gowns here will make you swoon then faint.
Rawganique: Organic hemp wedding attire for bride and groom plus the wedding party.
Deborah Lindquist: Carries a unique but still traditional green wedding line.
Morgan Boszilkov’s Natural Bridal Collection: Not entirely traditional, but sort of tradition with flare.

Quick Eco Wedding Tip: Greenest Wedding Gown

Jennifer — Wed, 07 May 2008 21:00:41 +0000

The greenest wedding gown may not be organic, or hemp, or even made under very green circumstances. However, if you fit into your mother’s gown, and like the dress, this is the greenest option of all, because it requires no new use of materials or energy to make.

If your mother’s dress is not an option wedding consignment shop is the next best thing. Buying used, for an item, you’ll only wear once (hopefully) is your best green bet, when it comes to wedding gowns.
