Wedding dresses made with eco love

Your man is taking you for a bride. Congratulations! We bet one of the first things that came to mind was the all important dress! Now we can thank our lucky stars that several international designers have turned their creative hands to stylish wedding dresses. We've come up with a list of dazzling designs to walk down the ailse with you. Consider your hunt over.

To be ever so fair, let us introduce our line up of stunning bridal gown designers in alphabetical order. Our hand picked selection are from around the world and offer the best styles for your big day. Don't be put off by buying from an overseas designer... made to measure is, well, made to measure and the most important tip is to buy from a label you fall in love with... just like you fell for your fella.

BLUSHLESS

For the sexy, edgy bride. Contemporary and style-led, Blushless, a Berlin-based label, uses the highest quality fabrics made from the finest eco friendly materials. Fun, sexy and incredibly eye catching, a dress from Blushless will make it a day to remember for not only your groom, but for all your guests too. Liv Lundelius, their designer told us "Blushless is not about creating traditional gowns but instead it's about creating something unique and wonderful for discerning style-led individuals."

Blushless have a fabulous array of stunning designs, but here are a few to whet your appetite...

Blushless also have a great wild at heart wedding blog with oodles of wedding bliss and relevant posts. Highly recommended.

Conscious Elegance

For the traditional bride. Actually, we should extend that to the chocolate loving bride. In the UK there's a telly advertisement where a bride to be describes her wedding dress to her fiance while eating her choco bar. In a daze she tells her hubby-to-be that the colour of her wedding dress is brown. Eyebrows are raised. They wouldn't have if they had seen Conscious Elegance's Portia Dress in expresso hemp silk. We love!

Conscious Elegance has one of the largest green wedding dress ranges and offer a superb made to order service for brides, grooms and bridemaids. Visit Conscious Elegance to view their eco friendly bridal gowns online.

DEBORAH LINDQUIST

For the eco star bride. We're over the moon the LA Queen of Green, Deborah Lindquist has extended her designer range to green wedding dresses, and we're loving the variety of styles on offer. Deborah's signature bustier is very much intact, with bodices decorated in delightfully creative ways. The Green Wedding range optimises the use the eco friendly materials, such as vintage lace, hemp/silk, recycled cashmere, vintage sari, even recycled leather, to amazing effect.

But the best news perhaps is the fantastic price tags. You're in for a surprise, as most dresses are well under US $1,000. That should please the bride's father!

Feast your eyes below to get a glimpse of a few of Deborah Lindquist's dresses. Even better, browse their Green Wedding collection online.

JULIE DUTTON

For the made to measure bride. Julie Dutton has a significant history in bridal gown design but is relatively new to eco conscious design. Julie now offers the option to use sustainable fabrics such as hemp silk and peace silk. Going by our telephone conversation, this is something that excites Julie a lot.

Julie is based in Warwickshire and only offers one to one consultations so while made to measure, Julie only offers her eco bridal services to those in the UK and who can make the measurements and consultation trips. Here you'll receive special attention to detail, and together you will both create a winning design that's unique to your personality.

JUNKY STYLING

For the daring bride. Known the world over for their innovative upcycled approach, Junky Styling also offer the chance to walk down the ailse with an upcycled dress. Deconstructed second hand clothes are cleverly pieced together to create an original, one of a kind gown. This has to be the most eco friendly way to dress for a wedding.

LUNAR LIFE

For the serene bride. Based in South Africa, we first met the label's designer Karen Ter Morshuizen at London Fashion Week last year and we immediately noticed the range's potential for wedding gowns. We're weren't alone, because that's exactly what Karen, and her business partner Paul Harris, have embarked on.

Ever sensitive to environmental concerns, Lunar make use of natural fibres and pigment dyes to style their couture fashions, and this effect transcended to wedding gowns is simply sublime.

MOTASEM

For the contemporary bride. We just adore Motasem's dresses and are a real hit among individualists. Motasem's eco credentials lie with the fact they do not dye their ivory silk thereby saving huge amounts of dye. Based in East London, their sizes range from 8 to 16 and will ship worldwide. It's no surprise to us that their Cecaelia dress, pictured below, with a contrasting navy blue band is a best seller. Original to say the least.

NATURAL BRIDES

For the natural bride. Based in Atlanta, Georgia, Morgan Boszilkov works with brides from across the States and around the world. Natural Brides offer exceptional dresses using a variety of sustainable fabrics and her one-of-a-kind styles are simply stunning.

Morgan's approach to sustainability doesn't stop at the fabrics. Her handcrafted gowns are also 'convertible', giving the bride the chance to whip off her skirt at the reception or wear another day for a smart occasion. We like! From the simple to the daring, Natural Brides offer an eco conscious bride a choice to be reckoned with. We highly recommend viewing their wedding dress collection online.

The perfect accessory

Finish off your bridal wear with a headpiece from Hennumi. Hennumi specialise in headpieces for bridal and occasion wear, beautifully combining recycled and off-cut fabrics with pearls, crystals and feathers. And there's a wide choice including a mother of pearl button circular headband made with silk off-cuts and silver-lined beads; a jewel-like hair accessory handmade using silk/lace off cuts, freshwater pearls and feathers, with detachable net veil; and a handmade flower, vintage button, silk organza headpiece with feathers and off-cut fabric veil. Visit Hennumi today to complete your outfit with incredible eco style.

Eco friendly wedding rings

No wedding would be complete however without your wedding rings to symbolise your union. We highly recommend CRED, the fair trade jeweller, Ingle and Rhode, the ethical jeweller as well as Oria Jewellery. These jewellers offer the best ethical jewellery around and ship worldwide.

Happy wedding bells!
