Chic En Vert: Wedding Day

vogue.com
As I giddily flipped through the big September issue of Vogue with my girl on the cover, Kate Moss, I was pleased to stumble upon the new trends, the latest anti-wrinkle treatment, and new books to read.

The wedding photoshoot of Kate and her family was idyllic and joyful as it should be. The hip young couple are a vision in white. Look at all the beautiful children with these lucky genes!
As I continued toward the end, I was pleased to land on the Style Ethics portion talking about what else, Eco-friendly Fashion.
Since the entire issue had a wedding theme to it, this particular page helped even the most stylish brides stay green on their wedding day.

First, the picture showed Julia Nobis in this totally organic Oscar de la Renta gown. He's known for extravagant, glamorous, feminine gowns, but never totally organic. However, he tries to use natural fibers over synthetic whenever possible, but he is no Stella McCartney. To take this commitment further, he created this dress for the Runway to Green fashion show in March (which I plan to talk about next week). The tulle is 100% organic cotton, as are the hand embroidered flowers that cascade down the dress. A portion of the profits also benefit environmental organizations.
This image was flanked by other sustainable choices that a bride could make. Including a wedding cake from Babycakes NYC, a bouquet from New York's first sustainable florist--Gardenia Organic's, and a wedding invitation from Paperlesspost.com.
