Eco wedding dresses and bridal wear
Our award-winning environmentally gentle gowns 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 artists, all who earn a fair living wage. We make it easy and convenient to have a fabulous, custom-made eco-friendly wedding dress at an honest price. And for our DIY brides, you can order eco-friendly fabric by the yard.
UPDATE Early Spring 2010:
We've moved to State College, Pennsylvania!
The new studio is taking shape and we should have an Official change of address shortly. In the meantime, we are accessible as always by email at info@consciouselegance.com.
We've been asked if there will be a new 2010 Bridal Collection. Absolutely! Last season's 'sneak preview' was so popular that we're going to do it again! Look for preview of the new designs in March, as well as new colors and new sustainable fabrics to choose from.
Regardless of where we hang our fabric, we intend to continue serving our clients with a minimum of upheaval or drama. Please do contact us with any questions. We'll be posting here about continued happenings...
Please note: We are now able to resume filling most swatch requests but until some of our stock fabrics become available again, we will need to fill requests for complete swatch sets on an individual basis. Just ask and we will do our best to accommodate your order as soon as possible.
Unlike many large 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
You'll enjoy private online access to our workshop logs, which you can visit at any time to view your gown in 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 and alterations. Contact us for details.
Even in white, you can go Green
We use only eco-gentle hemp, beautiful hemp/silk satin blends and certified Fair Trade organic cotton 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 cover-ups to keep you warm on your special day and for your bridal party, we offer eco friendly bridesmaid and party dresses.
Our fabrics are sourced as locally as possible from sustainable materials and many of our 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 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 eco-gentle infant 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 gown, you may let all of nature rejoice with you on your special day and proudly show your commitment to the world.
