Hi, love this video! We are a small slow fashion studio in the Netherlands and make ethical and eco (bridal) clothes. But also sell the fabrics and can help with the fitting if a friend or mother makes the dress. We only use organic, cruelty free, fair materials. Or we use recycled materials. We can dye the outfit before of after your wedding with plantdyes. If we buy new materials we are always looking for the best ethical solution we can find. Using the clothes again is a big part of the whole design proces. We make the clothes in parts and layers. In that way you can wear all the parts even the underwear (like a nice simple peace silk or organic cotton slipdress and the top with lace) styled differently later. We know people always change a bit in weight so we have solutions for that, like extra wide seams or we could change the outfit later with an other solution. Because we want to pay the people who help us also a fair minimal wage it is not a cheap solution (if you decide to let our studio make your dress/outfit) but if you can do it yourself or someone you know, you could learn a lot and have a lot of fun. Just start in time! This video is very inspiring, I am looking in the Netherlands for more ethical small businesses for flowers and make-up to help bride here to make ethical choices. I hope you do not see this as an unwanted selfpromotion, if so just let me know. I am just so exited about the many ideas we have and think it is pretty hard to find solutions if you want to live this life style. It is my passion to show there are more solutions than going for the dirty fashion industrie.
Brilliant info!
π It looked like a very beautiful wedding!
We registered at Flight Center. We went on a beautiful honeymoon to Portugal. Everyone was so supportive and kept saying βI wish I had known you could register for flights, I would have done it for my wedding!β
Very good idea with the donation π
I have the same opinion about gifts!! I want people to give money for the honeymoon instead of stuff (that i really don't want). Well, I'm 21 but if I get married I'll definitely do that.
Love your video <3
We wanted to have a small wedding, which we kind of had. Our budget was very short and even if we had the money, we wouldnΒ΄t spend so much in a wedding, and since IΒ΄m Mexican and we had to move from Mexico to the US suddenly, my family couldnΒ΄t make it, which took away some of the meaning and sentimentalism from me…but my husbandΒ΄s family pushed to have something more "fancy" and more to fulfill their idea of what they expected from this wedding, they didnΒ΄t respect some of the things we did not want, like the cake hahahahaha. Anyways, for me is not a moment to remember so well. BUT, we did find the way of getting some things done our way: I made my dress, decoration was some dream catchers made from local Native Americans and a big one that I made for the ceremony, we use the Imperial March from Star Wars instead of the typical one (This seriously rocked the wedding haha) Anyways, I like the way you managed this event, you looked so beautiful!
I loved this video so much and your wedding looked beautiful!! I especially love the multi-purposing of home-grown bouquets, your rings, and the cash bar for charity! If I had to plan my wedding over again I would definitely make more eco-friendly decisions. I'm glad I can advise future brides on great tips like this in the future!
Yay thanks for this Iβm from Edmonton and this video helps so so much!
