Eco Friendly Wedding Dresses?
Now I thought that finding an eco friendly wedding dress would be harder than it actually was. Consider first, a very high thread count of Egyptian cotton. Overlay it with some refurbished silk lace (easier to find than you think) and carefully sow on some fresh water pearls. Fantastic!
Here’s another great wedding dress idea. Use silk that doesn’t kill the silk worm. You can find (you have to look a bit) for 100% organic peace silk organza. It’s important that it’s peace silk as that’s your guarantee that no worms gave their lives for your dress. Silk needs so little but consider an embellishment of hand stitched embroidery also of peace silk.
Finally, definitely not least and most economical is to use a used or borrowed dress. If you happen to be the same size (or close to) your mother’s size and liked her style, you can often have it just slightly updated and sized just for you for a very small investment. Now that’s a great idea and is eco friendly to boot!
