They may come in white and ivory, but they can be considered “green.” One of the fastest-growing trends in eco-friendly weddings is buying pre-owned wedding dresses.   While this is not a new concept, it’s growing in popularity thanks to greener wedding trends that seek to reduce waste generated by weddings.

Not only are more brides going green, they are also trying to save more green these days (who isn’t?).  Also, more brides are selling dresses. The result? The selection of pre-owned dresses is amazing . . . designer dresses galore. PreOwnedWeddingDresses.com is one of the great Websites out there helping brides to find the wedding dress of their dreams.

I personally like how they organize the dresses to easily search by best deals, dresses they love, hottest listings, designer, size, price and more. And the selection? Wow . . . thousands of gorgeous wedding gowns to shop.

Don’t forget the shoes and accessories! Usually only worn once for a few hours, pre-owned shoes and veils are also a great option for green brides!

More brides are greening their weddings with recycled invitations, handmade wedding favors . . . even smaller guest lists. But when it comes to choosing an eco-friendly wedding gown, brides feel they may have to sacrifice the dress of their dreams to make the earth-friendly choice. Not anymore . . . thanks to Justin Alexander, brides can look beautiful in white while going green.

When I first discovered this nature-inspired collection of eco-chic wedding gowns, I thought . . . romantic, elegant, inspired, and simply beautiful.  PURE, the latest collection in the Justin Alexander bridal line, uses organic fabrics and natural trims like wood beads to create a uniquely gorgeous collection of earth-friendly wedding gowns.
