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.

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.
