Ahhh… the wedding dress. It’s the first thing a bride thinks of when planning her wedding, but how can you make this an eco friendly choice? The most eco friendly way is to use a gown that has already been worn. You can find a great vintage style dress or even check out second hand stores and ebay. Another option is to wear your mother’s dress. A few alterations can bring a dated dress up-to-date in no time flat. Plus, this dress will have a sentimental value that the others lack. If having a new dress is important to you, consider earth friendly fabrics such as hemp, organic cotton, linen, tencel and silk.
