Eco Bridal


As a pioneer in the bridal arena, Adele Wechsler targets the bride “who cares about the world in which she lives”. She was one of the first designers to create a Couture Collection with Eco-consciousness.

Wechsler’s line is made of certified organic hemp, silks and vegetable dyes, and is chemical-free. She incorporates remnant, or leftover fabric into organic design elements, also vintage pieces. Other noteworthy efforts include her use of fair trade labor for her beading, which is done in South Africa. Her gowns are also individually cut by hand, in the couture-style.

Good to see that someone can design beautiful clothes and still be environmentally responsible.
