Conscious Elegance eco chic green wedding dresses and bridal wear!
Our award-winning earth-gentle green wedding gowns are designed from beginning to end to beautify our world as well as our brides. Here at Conscious Elegance, making an ethical wedding gown means that every stitch of our gowns is created from sustainable fabrics and, where possible, organic materials. We don't use anything else.
Our sustainable and organic wedding dresses are custom made for each and every bride. We are a small, independent, woman-owned company and we employ only local artists, all who earn a fair living wage. We offer exceptional customer service and make it easy and convenient for you to have a fabulous, custom-made, eco chic wedding dress at an honest price that we give right up front.
Are you a DIY bride? Want to make your own fabulous eco design, but don't know where to find sustainable and organic fabrics? Conscious Elegance is also happy to be able to help out all you crafty eco friendly fashionistas by offering the same eco fabric we use in our own green wedding designs.
UPDATE Fall 2010:
We've been awarded membership in Green America ! (formerly Co-op America) Green America is a national-not-for-profit organization that requires businesses to submit to a stringent application and vetting process, to help separate the true eco businesses from the green-washing. We're tickled pink...GREEN!

We offer full swatch sets containing every fabric we stock. We can also send out just a few samples -- up to 3 at no charge -- if a few are all you'd like to see. Just ask and we'll do our best to fill your order within 1-2 business days.

Our Ethics Are Also Eco Chic
Unlike many larger bridal companies, we pay close attention to our sourcing; we know exactly from whom and from where our materials come and no child labor or sweatshops are involved in any facet of our dressmaking.
Your Exclusive Online Access
At Conscious Elegance, we know how stressful it is to plan a wedding. That's why throughout the process of crafting your custom green wedding dress, you'll enjoy private online access to our workshop logs, which you can visit at any time to view your gown in progress. You can watch it being made in real time through pictures and log entries. It's important to us that you are delighted with your dress and are included along every step of the way. We love to chat on the phone and are happy to be available by phone or email for questions or comments. Ordering is easy and depending on where you are, we can even come to you for personal fittings and alterations. Contact us for details.
We offer helpful videos to guide you on your way:

Plus an entire page of dress advice in case you're wondering which designs would flatter your figure!
A White Wedding can also be a Green Wedding
We use only eco-gentle hemp, beautiful hemp/silk satin blends and certified Fair Trade organic cotton and bamboo fabrics in our creations. You can select from many colors and contrasts to create a truly stunning ethical gown that's made just for you. We offer coats and wraps to keep you warm on your special day and for your bridal party, we offer eco friendly bridesmaid and party dresses.
Our sustainable and organic fabrics are sourced as locally as possible and many of our eco fabrics are 3rd-party certified by Control Union World Group (formerly SKAL). Our biodegradable and recycled packaging is purposefully chosen to have minimal impact on the environment. See Our Policies for details.
Thanks to our certified organic cotton thread, we can offer 100% organic wedding gowns!
Looking towards the future: Re-use and Reclaim your Green Wedding Gown
We don't believe that anything should be useful for only one day. We make sure that you'll get the most from your gown. As an exclusive service, we can shorten your dress to a cocktail length after the wedding or create eco-gentle baby wear for your future little ones, made from your own wedding dress. This service is free of charge for our clients, or infant gowns can be purchased separately. Please contact us for more info.
A marriage of Fabulous and Ethical
You needn't compromise your values to look stunning. With a Conscious Elegance green wedding gown, all of nature will rejoice with you on your special day as you proudly affirm your commitment to each other...and to the world.
