Unique embroidery, dainty trim & colorful beading make for perfect finishing touches.

eco-friendly gowns

LEFT TO RIGHT: This elegant trumpet gown is made from 100% organic peace-silk organza (peace silk is harvested without destroying the silk worm) and features a one-of-a-kind freestyle embroidery pattern on the bodice. Gown, about $565, by Wai-Ching. wai-ching.com.

A tea-length gown owes its light, summery feel to the fabric: an all-natural Swiss satin-face cotton batiste. The crossover sweetheart bodice is hand-pleated, as is the ruching at the waist. A daisy trim, embellished with Swarovski crystals, adds a sweet touch. Gown, about $2,225, by The Cotton Bride by Chris Kole. thecottonbride.com.

Fashioned from salvaged fabric, this ethereal chiffon and stretch satin gown gets subtle color from crystals and beads recycled from vintage jewelry. The chiffon overlay and tassels, fixed at the empire waist, detach to reveal a figure-hugging mermaid silhouette. Gown, about $2,500, by Annatarian Eco-Couture. annatarian.com.
