Welcome to Conscious Elegance!
Eco-friendly wedding dresses and party gowns
Our environmentally gentle dresses are designed from beginning to end to beautify our earth as well as our brides. We are a small, independent, family-owned company and we employ only local UK artists, all who earn a fair living wage. We make it easy and convenient to have a fabulous hand-crafted dress at an honest price.
Unlike many high street shops, we pay close attention to our sourcing; we know exactly from whom and from where our materials arise and no child labour or sweatshops are involved in any facet of our dressmaking.
We use only eco-supportive hemp, beautiful hemp/silk blends and organic cotton fabrics in our creations. You can select from many colours and contrasts to create a truly stunning ethical wedding gown that's made just for you.
Your Exclusive Online Access
You'll enjoy private online access to our workshop logs, which you can visit at any time to monitor your gown's progress. There's no worry or guessing about how your dress is coming along; you can watch it being made 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. Ordering is easy and we can even come to you for personal fittings. Contact us for details.
Even in white, you can go Green
Our eco-friendly fabrics are sourced as locally as possible from sustainable materials and most of our fabrics are 3rd-party certified organic by Control Union World Group (formerly SKAL). Our biodegradeable and recycled packaging is purposefully chosen to have minimal impact on the environment and we ship our gowns via eco-friendly couriers, who actively manage their carbon usage.
We've won an Environmental Award!!!

UPDATE Summer 2008:
ORGANIC COTTON THREAD HAS ARRIVED
We now use unbleached certified organic cotton thread for the lighter colours and vegetable-dyed black organic cotton thread for the darker ones. Now we can make 100% organic gowns!
Re-use and recycle a precious resource
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 create an eco-friendly Christening/Naming Ceremony garment and related accessories 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 details.
A marriage of Fabulous and Ethical
You needn't compromise your values to look stunning. With a Conscious Elegance gown, you may let all of nature rejoice with you on your special day and proudly show your commitment to the world.
