Some brides like to go literal with their color schemes, others like to use their favorite color as an accent. These shower arrangements are about as literal as you can get with the color palette that was at hand; Green and purple!
The vases were made from recycled yogurt tubs wrapped in wax paper and white floral mesh, and topped off with a pretty purple and white striped ribbon.
The floral shopping list: Green Spider Mums, purple-ish/pink Spider Mums, green and purple Hydrangeas, and some cool looking dyed purple branches. Special thanks to Bay Area Bride Guide for this wedding inspiration.

What do you get when you combine an eco-friendly dressmaker with a unique clothing style and design? You get Foat Design. I recently had the virtual pleasure of chatting with Zoë of Foat Design to discuss what makes her brand and style of wedding dresses different. From the start it was apparent that Foat was a different kind of dressmaker. For starters, they used 100% reclaimed silk for the designs you see below. Second, they keep all remnants from other dresses and reconstruct from there. Third, they redesign many heirloom dresses to create a more modern look and unique feel for the bride to be. In this way, Foat Design really reduces and reuses many materials.
Please visit Foat Design and see for yourself how these apparel salvagers and pioneers of clothing recycling can create a truly one of a kind wedding dress for you.
Foat Bridal Angelica Dress. I love the color contrast of this dress.
Foat Bridal Athena Dress. This is one of my favorite dresses here. I just love the flow of the fabric and the sash around the waist. This adds a nice touch to the wedding dress.
Foat Bridal Grace Dress. This dress looks like a dream to me. I love the sheer fabric.
Foat Bridal Harlow Dress. What else can I say but classic and elegant. Wish I had the figure to try on this dress. For more amazing eco-friendly wedding dresses please visit http://foatdesign.com.

What do you get when you combine a very unique, creative talent with an eco-conscious sense? You get Glamarita! Glamarita has got to be one of the most unique businesses I have come across. Owned and operated by Ronnie Ryno, Glamarita creates wedding dresses and other apparel solely from men’s ties. What a great idea. It’s all about the three R’s (reduce, reuse, recycle) and I can’t think of a better more eco-friendly way of reusing men’s ties than what Glamarita has created. Think about it. Instead of ending up in a landfill somewhere, men’s ties have a second life breathed into them and judging from the photos you know that you will not blend in with the crowd wearing a Glamarita dress. The patterns created by Ronnie are all 100% unique and no two dresses are exactly the same. Imagine owning a true one of a kind wedding dress that is also very “green.”
Surfing around the Glamarita web site you get the real sense of Ronnie’s sewing talent. Looking for a cute mini or perhaps a jacket, cocktail dress or even purses and tote bags… then Glamarita has them all for you and all made 100% from ties! At YesBride, we love to highlight and comment about unique, enterprising and eco-conscious companies and individuals and clearly Glamarita fits that description perfectly. Kudos.
