Green Wedding Dress Ideas

Tags:

Welcome to my page of green wedding dress ideas. Every single one of these dresses is one I have made from scratch in my bespoke wedding dress studio here in Surrey, UK. I actually got married myself in a green wedding dress, so I thoroughly approve of this choice from any bride who enquires with me to have a custom green wedding gown made.

Green wedding dress ideas you could explore range from a hint of pale green at the hem of a soft ivory dress, to a fully green velvet Anne Boleyn style historical gown. Green gives hints of the natural environment, with grass green silk, embroidered leaves and florals or earthy natural dye tones. An ethereal wedding dress in floating green chiffon would be perfect for an Elven wedding. Deep forest hues speak of magic and winter woodland.

Discussing your own green wedding dress ideas

If you would like to chat to me about ideas for a green wedding dress please feel free to get in touch. I am a huge fan of all colourful ideas for weddings, and especially green! As the choice I made for my own wedding day, a green wedding dress is dear to my heart.

I have also made a few green dresses for people who are not getting married themselves. Whether you are a mother of the bride or attending a gala or wedding, shades of green make a great choice.

As a bespoke bridal designer, it`s my job to make sure your dress looks like it`s part of you.

For this bride, I designed a dramatic satin dress, with a statement bow and asymmetrical ruching across the front and back of the bodice. A more traditional bodice that might have a lace up back, or simple a concealed zip down the middle, but for this dress I didn`t want to break up the flow of the fabric going across the body, so I had to come up with an elegant (and easy to use) solution. Not only did the fastening need to impossible to spot, it also needed to provide support for the bride, so she felt secure in the dress throughout the day.

I created two panels of ruched silk dupion in this beautiful rose gold colour. The panels were secured at the side, not the back, with the top panel being firmly attached with poppers. The panel underneath had hooks and underneath that I made a built in corset behind a heavy-duty zip. Because of the weight of the dress, and how fitted it was, the zip had to work harder than usual, so it was actually very useful to be able to fully hid it. It meant the bride could be fully supported, without the zip interfering with the design.

All that work meant that this bride didn`t have to worry about hitching up her dress or any wardrobe malfunctions, she could just focus marrying her husband and having a gorgeous day with friends and family.

What detail in your wedding dress are you most excited to obsess over?

My goal this year is to use up as much of my existing fabric stash as I can. Having been a seamstress for several decades now, I have amassed a huge pile of fabric over the years. That, and I just can’t throw anything away. As a result, I have an island’s worth of gorgeous, unusual and tragically under-utilised material, begging to be used for its purpose – creating unique and beautiful wedding dresses.

So, when Amy approached me about creating some looks for a steampunk Alice in Wonderland themed wedding shoot, it felt like the perfect opportunity to dip into my stash.

As a result, everything was made from fabrics in stock – nothing was bought new. In fact, some of the scraps of lace are from my mum’s stash, so parts of this dress are from the 50s and 60s. I trimmed the gown with scraps of vintage and antique lace, sequins and tulle, as well as torn blue silk for the very Alice bows. They had a long while waiting to be used, but finally these frabrics have their home.
