The season is upon us! With spring solidly underway and summer just a couple of months off, it won’t be long before weddings start to fill up our weekends once again! This year, go green in style and show off just how sexy sustainability can be.
Here are three of our absolute favourite wedding guest dresses, together with a few accessories to really finish the look off. From left to right we have the Embellished Sateen Dress, the Fun Dress and the Sust Mod dress (and then another Fun Dress and another Sust Mod dress!)
Embellished Sateen Dress – Boden are committed to sustainable fashion and, although they might not be as far along as some other green companies, they’re definitely way better than most. This beautiful dress exudes effortless natural glamour. The bright yellow will work with darker skin tones, while the taupe and violet will compliment lighter shades. The neckline detail means you won’t need to accessorize too much, but you’ll definitely need a bag- have a look at this shoulder bag (made from scrap leather) or this Cotton Floral Clutch.
Fun Dress – Bold, unique and flattering, this dress actually comes in three different designs. Each is as ‘fun’ as each other, and all would work at a spring or summer wedding. Again, the detail means you won’t need to think about jewelry, but that just leaves you more time to think about shoes! These mid-heel peep toe pumps from Corso Como would go fabulously. Or, if you’d rather something a bit plainer (and with a heel thick enough to keep you balanced if this is a garden wedding!), have a look at these Hemp Pumps from Beyond Skin.
Sust Mod Dress – Sust holds style and sustainability right at the centre of their Mission Statement:
Each piece of clothing has social and ecological responsibility woven into its very fabric with organic fibers that are produced with fair labor practices in California.
This dress comes in several beautiful shades and is quite a tight slim-fitting number. It’s pretty short so you could get away with smart flats (how about these Beyond Skin Joy slip-ons). Wear it with a smart cardy or jacket, like this Shirt Jacket from Re Collection.
We hope that helps you put together a beautiful outfit (or three) for weddings and events this year . Keep an eye out for more ‘outfit guides’ from the IzzitGreen blog and let us know if you have any questions or comments.
