What's your bridal style? Whether it's vintage, couture or classic, you can have the gown of your dreams at a discounted price with minimal environmental impact. Sound too good to be true? It's not.
Ah, the wedding dress. Has there ever been a piece of attire more infused with sentimentality and love? A bride wants her gown to represent her personal style and bring out her best features on her wedding day. Unfortunately, most wedding gowns are made from unsustainable bleached materials, then dipped in chemicals after the wedding to take their traditional place...in the attic. Is this the best representative of a beautiful bride? Probably not.
Are you crafty with a sewing machine? Do you love classic styles? You can buy vintage dress patterns and make bridesmaids' dresses or your own wedding gown for a fraction of the price. This gown, modeled by Cato, was made from remnant fabric using the 1990 Vogue "Montana" pattern (#2507) by the photographer.
As the summer winds down, we're starting to think about rich oranges and deep reds. All the stores have already stocked their Halloween candy, school is starting, and the summer wedding styles are giving way to autumn's hues. But before we go there, how about one last summery, delicious, bright decor entry? There's nothing like a citrus-y colored wedding, complete with bold fruit accents, to make it an endless summer.
