Eco-Couture by Adele Wechsler

Alright if you’re into sustainable living and you’re planning a green wedding, then surely you must be in the market for a green wedding gown. Sure there are more than one options available to keeping it green, lets recap:

Option 1: Something old with sentiment and love -the wedding gown passed down from mummy dearest! Being sentimental pays!
Option 2: Something vintage – second hand wedding gowns might sound like a turn off but some pieces are truly masterpieces that you will no longer be able to find or have made today with the same precision of handwork.
Option 3: Something new but in green – Shop for Organic/natural eco-friendly wedding gowns. You’ll find there are off the shelf models and custom designed ones available.

I appreciate that most green brides are going to rank Option 3 as their primary preference, so here’s another green eco-bridal couture designer’s collection to help with the choices.

When you think eco-conscious bridal gowns, you must have Adele Wechsler on your mind. Why? Because she designs one of the most beautiful gowns available in the world for ‘the bride who cares about the world in which she lives’ that’s why.

In comparison with Jessica Iverson’s Vert Collection, Adele Wechsler’s Eco-Couture has more collections. Presently there are 3 eco-collections, with the latest (3rd) one to be soon revealed.  Here are my favourite picks from Adele Wechler’s Eco-Couture Collections.

1.    Fern
A beautiful strapless trumpet silhouette silk gown that is whimsically and tastefully decorated with an organic vine of blossoms and leaves, this gown looks like it came right out a fairytale just in time for a fairytale wedding.

2.   Flora
Made of hempsilk this is a beautiful strapless, free form pleated yoke gown. With randomly and artistically placed florals and leaves along the skirt of the gown, this piece gives the impression and feel of romantic free flowing elegance.

3.    Rosebud
This one I love because it reminds me so much of Greek dresses with its hemp ribbon bands that accentuate the bust and waist lines. It has a circle cut train with organza ruffle details. Perfectly feminine and graceful.

The one thing I find about Adele Wecler’s designs that sets them apart from other eco-couture is how the details/accessories (the flowers, leaves and vines) never looks like they were simply sewn on to the gowns. Instead, they always look in harmony, as though they were naturally grown that way.
