As more brides embrace sustainability and ethical fashion, eco-friendly wedding dresses are taking center stage—and the movement isn’t slowing down.
At Princess Bridals, we’ve seen a growing number of brides—especially from Brooklyn and NYC—looking for natural fiber gowns, earthy designs, and sustainably made wedding dresses that honor both their style and values. With inspiration drawn from Free People and Anthropologie, our boutique offers the perfect blend of boho elegance and environmental consciousness—right here on Long Island.
What Makes a Wedding Dress Eco-Friendly?
Eco-friendly bridal gowns prioritize sustainability at every step of the design and production process. That means:
-
Natural fibers like organic cotton, silk, hemp, and bamboo
-
Low-waste construction methods
-
Non-toxic dyes and finishes
-
Ethically sourced materials
-
Slow fashion principles (less mass production, more artisan quality)
These dresses offer an ethical edge without sacrificing style—something that resonates strongly with Brooklyn-based hipster brides and Long Island locals alike.
Boho & Earthy Vibes: Inspired by Free People & Anthropologie
If you love the effortless, vintage-meets-modern aesthetic of brands like Anthropologie’s BHLDN line or Free People’s bridal edit, you’ll fall in love with our boutique’s curated collection of earth-conscious gowns.
Key Design Features:
🌿 Organic cotton & bamboo blend fabrics
🌿 Hand-embroidered lace or crochet accents
🌿 Relaxed A-line or sheath silhouettes
🌿 Earth-toned linings & floral appliqués
🌿 Flowy sleeves, open backs, and deep-V necklines
🌿 Minimalist structure for a raw, natural look
These gowns are perfect for barn weddings, outdoor ceremonies, vineyard venues, and of course, urban lofts in Brooklyn.
Sustainable Fashion Without Sacrificing Fit
At Princess Bridals, we blend eco-conscious materials with expert bridal tailoring. That means you don’t have to choose between comfort, conscience, and couture.
Want to add sleeves? Adjust the neckline? Make your sustainable gown off-the-shoulder or long-sleeved for a winter wedding? Our team specializes in customizing gowns to suit your personal style and values.
You’ll work one-on-one with an expert during your VIP Appointment to select the right cut, feel, and finish—no wasteful guesswork, just thoughtful design.
