Green- Incorporate natural fabrics into your dress design.
You may compromise and use some dyed or unnatural fabrics. If you chose to go this route, try to blend some organic threads in the design, or line the dress with peace silk. Peace silk allows the silk worm to live out it's full life cycle. Olivia Luca supplies a wide variety of fabric that will meet your every need. The price ranges due to design, fabric, and details.
Greener- Purchase a dress made of all natural organic fabrics.
Hemp is no longer a drab, ugly fabric. There are many options for a pretty wedding dress. My dress (photo below), a hemp and silk blend, will come from Threadhead Creations. This company allows you to design a dress or purchase one off the rack. There are several style options and each dress can be personalized with color or apliques. These handmade dresses start at a reasonable $475 and can go beyond $1,000 for custom designs.
$Greenest- Find a used or vintage dress.
This selection helps both your wallet and the planet. A used dress depletes virtually no resources. Many former brides no longer want their beautiful wedding dresses and are willing to sell them for a few greenbacks. Ebay and The Dress Market offer used dresses from around the globe with prices starting as low as $50!!
A vintage dress is ideal for a theme wedding or a bride with an "old-style" flare. Antique Dress offers dresses and accessories from the 1800's to the present with prices starting at $195.
The most eco-friendly, economical, and personal option is to borrow a relative's dress. This will take care of something old and borrowed. Most importantly, you will share your gown with a special woman in your life.

Is that the dress you're going to get?
Yes, I ordered it a couple of weeks ago. I should get it in a few months.
My sister and I found the fabric for your dresses. It's a really pretty light purple. I'll send you a sample.
Yay! Gorgeous!!
We should plan another weekend in the next couple months for me to come to St Louis and plan stuff.
Very useful advice. I'm really digging the button bouquet! I love Etsy
