An Earth Day Love Story

Posted in: Blog, Inspiration, Love Stories ♦ Monday, April 16th, 2012, 5:29 pm ♦ 1 Comment

With Earth Day coming up on April 22, what better time to reflect on our planet and how we can contribute to making a difference. We thought we’d share a couple of our loves for this wedding season that also happen to be Earth friendly.

Here comes the bride… aaand there goes her dress. British researchers have developed a wedding gown that can be dissolved in water to transform it into five new wearable pieces. The trick: Polyvinyl alcohol, an odorless nontoxic polymer that breaks down in water without harming the environment.

These flats are handmade from cotton fabrics and hemp with 0% chemical adhesives used. Flexible soles are durably formed from more than 25 layers of sustainable fabrics and hemp thread. These flats are so romantic and dreamy, not to mention vegan and really comfy.

We are in love with Bario-Neal, a small studio out of Philladelphia that specializes in re-claimed metals, ethically sourced stones and fluid designs that incorporate the best of contemporary and vintage style.

Who says eco-friendly can’t be fahsion-forward?

    I think that wedding dress is too cool for school! What an ingenious concept.
