Organic Clothing For Bridal Gowns And Wedding Dresses

In todays eco-aware world, eco-friendly bridal fashions are becoming very stylish

and still providing the comfort and breathable aspect of organic clothes. More designers are creating fashionable custom-designed and ready-to wear organic clothes for wedding affairs and other special occasions. In this article, I write about my recent conversations with designer Shubhra Chandra and her recent wedding designs for Boston Channel 7 News Reporter Sorboni Banerjee and her husband Jarrod Holbrooke from Boston Channel 5 News for their fall 2009 wedding.

A key desire for Sorboni and Shubhra was to create the bridal wear that would fuse the meeting of the heart for two people coming from two different traditions Sorboni with her Indian-American background and Jarrod with his Texas-American heritage. The goal was to have east meet west in a way that would look gorgeous and rich, but not overwhelm the reason why two people come together. That reason being love where two hearts are willing to embrace each other and their backgrounds.

Moreover, Sorboni wanted to use a designer who worked with environmentally responsible processes and eco-friendly materials for her wedding wear. Shubrah Designs, from the day it was conceived, has followed these concepts. At Shubrah Designs, a percentage of sales go to non-profit organizations involved in the betterment of lives of poor women and children around the world.

To get the right designs and the right materials, Shubhra, Sorboni and others worked together on sketches, colors, fabrics, silhouettes and trims. Fabrics such as yards of Benarasi silk saris and hand loomed Baluchari scarves were sourced in India. Jewelry and brocade stoles were matched in Delhi, hand made ties were designed to match the dresses. The designs, the fabrics and several sittings were combined to create the final outfits.

Sorbonis wedding gown was a rich golden bridal corset made from Benarasi sari material combined with silk and other material. Photograph of Sobonis gown concept sketch can be found at Shubrah Designs blog at http://shubrah.blogspot.com/.

The blog also shows a photograph of Sorboni wearing the brides rehearsal dinner dress made from a silk scarf that was hand loomed in Bengal (India), photographs of bridesmaid dresses made from silk Benarasi saris, grooms outfit and the mother-of-the-bride gown.
