Green Options

So you want to be a green bride but your local bridal shops don’t have any bamboo, hemp, organic cotton or peace silk gowns? Check out these eco-couture bridal designers for fabulous green wedding gowns. Several designers have online stores while others have links to bridal shops that carry their dresses.

Yes, that is a Women’s Lib patch (I’m sure both Glorias are kvelling). No, you cannot have it, I’m quite certain that the Smithsonian will offer me a gazillion dollars for it some day (it’s my fantasy, leave it alone…).

For the record I am not advocating dressing your child like it’s 1974 again. I would, however, take your kids to the fabric store and see if there are any patches that catch their eye. With back to school shopping just around the corner maybe a few well placed patches could get them more excited about using last year’s backpack?
