Still, I had to say something because the first thing I thought of when I saw these was “how cool” and the absolute second thought to flash in my mind was, “Snarkstress will hate these.”

Now about the dresses. Both are wedding dresses from Threadhead Creations a company that makes eco-clothing to die for. Really. There is this one skirt there that I may die if I don’t get… but I digress.

This first one, Daydream, is a little bright for me but so great if you really want a full-fledged hippie kind of tree-hugging wedding. Sure you can get an eco-wedding dress without the tree; but that wouldn’t make you die-hard now would it. The Daydream dress shown below is a hemp/silk raw blend with a silk lining but you can have it custom made in other fabric choices as well such as organic cotton or bamboo twill. The back has a panel the color of the sky but you can change that up as well. In fact one of the best things about Threadhead Creations is their willingness to customize to your vision of perfect.

I do like the second dress, the Strapless Landscape Dress quite a bit. For a wedding dress featuring a tree I’m not sure they could have done better. This one is shown in ivory hemp/silk charmeuse and lined in 100% silk. Here are the stats on the beautiful front panel:

“The landscape panel was handcrafted using many lovely colors of hemp/silk charmeuse. Over forty pink blossoms accent the intertwined tree limbs. The flowers are sewn to the dress only in the center, allowing the petals to add texture and dimension. Small glass pearls and swarovski crystals accent the center of each blossom; each bead was sewn on by hand.”

I think it’s very pretty. And a nice choice for tree-hugging brides. In any case whether you’d wear them or not the idea and fabrics are wonderful ideas.

Alas, in case you don’t agree why not visit some other great b5media fashion blogs (and by great I mean the ones I adore, but you’ll love them too).

• First, shout out to the afore mentioned Snarkstress – visit her for some fun looks at fashion disasters with a splash of sarcasm (and vodka). Seriously visit; maybe she’ll go easy on me for the dresses.
• Chic By Nature features clothing and accessories that do tree huggers proud. It’s all eco-fashion all the time! A really wonderful green-minded blog.
• I also like visiting The Daily Tee when I’m in a casual mood (most of the time). Who knew how much fun a blog about tees could be?
• If you have little kids you have got to visit Style Tots. Too much good kid clothing for just one visit.
• Lastly if you have kids in their tweens or (gasp) teens you will have to check out Teen Style Lounge. You’ll find that this blog is a safe place to direct your fashion minded teens to. It helps to know where they’re shopping.

Now, if you were a fashion blog what would be your title?
