Hemp Wedding Dresses

-- Hemp Wedding Dresses --

More and more brides are planning their wedding with the environment in mind!

From sending out recycled-paper invitations (or better yet – using online invites!) to decorating with wild flowers, planning a wedding can be a great time to put your environmental sensibilities to work. Consider carrying this trend straight through to your wedding dress by choosing a hemp wedding gown!

Hemp & Happy

Unlike many wedding gown fabric options, like heavy satin or taffeta, a hemp dress is made of a comfortable, breathable fabric. This is perfect for the summer or beach bride, who worries about staying cool on her wedding day. Hemp is soft and surprisingly luxurious!

Hemp Combinations

Many designers are catering toward the organic bride who wishes to wear natural fibers on her wedding day. Hemp can be combined in a variety of different blends to please every taste, such as a hemp/silk blend or a hemp/ silk satin. Hemp also comes blended with other fabrics such as organic cotton.

For the vegan bride, there are even vegan dresses available, made of hemp / tencel. These fabrics are all natural and beautiful! Many hemp-dress creators can also make your bridesmaids dresses, and all dresses can often by dyed–to-order. Make sure dyes are eco-friendly and natural.

No Need to Compromise

Choosing to wear an eco-conscious dress on your wedding day does not mean you need to make any concessions when it comes to fashion! Earthy- friendly dresses come in many different styles, and many are made by small companies or up-and-coming designers who are happy to make a design to suit your taste!

Accessories

Choose natural accessories to show off the style of your dress. Think wooden earrings, feather embellishments, and gem stone jewelery. Adorn your hair with fresh flowers for a beautiful, natural look!

Where to Find It

You can have a hemp dress no matter where you live, thanks to the internet. Many designers will make your dress especially for you, and will even start off by mailing you fabric swatches to choose from!

You can also find pre-made hemp dresses online, which you can bring to a local seamstress to adjust for the perfect fit. You may also find a hemp clothier in your area who can create your gown for you. Check at local boutiques and ask for the contact information of the designer, or visit local craft shows or markets to meet designers personally!

A Green Theme

Maybe you want to wear a hemp dress for its comfort and natural beauty. Or, maybe you want to have an all-natural theme to your entire day! Serve a buffet of vegetarian food, print your stationary on recycled paper, and arrive by horse and carriage (love the low emissions!).

For guest gifts, give small trees for them to plant when they return to their homes – a piece of your wedding will grow in their backyards! Or, make a donation to an environmental society in your guests’ names. Choosing to showcase your environmental lifestyle on your wedding day is a wonderful way to raise awareness, share a part of your life with your family and friends, and start your marriage off on the right track!

Your wedding day is a sacred day! You can show your commitment to the earth by choosing to wear a gown that is not only an environmentally friendly choice, but will also be a beautiful statement piece! If you want to wow your guests, choose a hemp wedding dress – it’s a natural choice!
