Purely by Alfred Angelo

Juliana B. Williams — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 11:00:01 +0000

Update: We have recently received a message from Kate Harrison, author of the best selling book The Green Bride Guide, who has generously shared her findings on the Alfred Angelo’s Purely Collection. Kate was advised by an Alfred Angelo company rep that the materials used in the Purely line are in fact conventionally produced cotton and silk. Read more about this topic on Kate’s insightful and inspirational website, http://www.thegreenbrideguide.com/blogsposts/2010/05/05/alfred-angelo-greenwashing.

The new Purely Collection by Alfred Angelo is pure perfection.

Their 2010 catalogue showcases fun, flirty and fabulous wear-again bridesmaid dresses in luscious eco-friendly fabrics.

Loving the adorable Silk Dupioni Plaid dresses. Who knew plaid could be so pretty. These dazzling designs have inspired me to create a “Pretty in Plaid” wedding inspiration board. Watch for it over the next couple of days.

Bridal Dress Saver

Alright gals, I know we’ve all been through this. You’ve showered, applied your “non-whitening” deodorant, dried and styled your hair and applied your make up. You are now ready to put on that beautiful cocktail dress; surely your deodorant is dry by now right?

You slip into the dress and zip it up; you inspect yourself in the mirror and to your horror, there are white streaks on the dress. It seems no matter how long you wait or how carefully you slip into the dress the dreaded streaks are always there. Enter Tuck Inz.

These little wonders are the perfect dress saver for both you and your bridesmaids on your wedding day.

Tuck these soft pads over the underarm area of your garment and apply your deodorant. Continue to beautify yourself and just before you are ready to leave, remove the pads. Tuck Inz prevents white stains by allowing the deodorant to dry and absorbing the excess.

Best thing about these pads, they are washable and reusable.

This is a definite bridal dressing room must-have.

I have fallen in love with the fashion forward, feminine eco designs by designer Sara Kirsner, owner of Doie Designs.

One of my faves is the dainty Wilshire Dress made of organic cotton, silk and lycra. How gorgeous would your bridesmaids look in this classic piece? Better yet, how gorgeous would you look in it? This dress is a wonderful alternative to the traditional wedding gown and would be perfect for a casual eco wedding.

Wilshire sample dresses, part of the Spring 2009 Los Angeles Collection, are currently on sale for the unbelievable price of $68.
