Phiney who is the designer and owner of Poppy Perspective, has shared with us her top tips when choosing a sustainable wedding dress.

So keep reading if you are looking at ways of reducing your impact on our Earth, and want to plan a more eco-friendly wedding. Here are some fabulous tips on choosing your dream wedding dress whilst still being earth conscious. 

There are so many beautiful clothes already on this planet, by looking for a vintage or re-loved piece you'll be helping the environment as well as having a unique dress with a story behind it. 'Thrifted Wedding Dresses' Pinterest search was +47% from 2019. 

 

 

Tip No. 2 - Reuse, adapt or incorporate something you already own. 

The most sustainable clothes are the ones you already own. Is there something you or a family member already have that you can make into a special dress?

I mean you may even be able to wear your Mum's wedding dress and tweak it to suit your shape and style. Phiney advised that she currently has a few brides who are re-working their mother's dresses at the moment. How unbelievably special!

Tip No. 3 - Borrow or Rent.

When it comes to planning a more sustainable wedding, the purchase of a super expensive wedding dress, that is worn for one day, and then folded away into a box for a generation. Only to resurface at your next house move, is possibly one of the most unsustainable elements of a wedding. So why not consider borrowing or renting your wedding dress?

?Phiney explained to us that she loves that there are a number of bridal rental options nowadays, but you could also borrow a dress from a friend and style it to make it your own. This greatly reduces the demand on the production of new wedding dresses.
