Anniversary Party + The Cotton Bride
On Wednesday we celebrated our Anniversary with Style!
Chris Kole unveiled his new Fireflies Collection from The Cotton Bride at our party! The new collection is amazing and complete with airy designs that truly let a woman be herself on her wedding day! This particular dress is one that really stole the show!
With so many dresses and eco-style, we had a veritable who’s who from Washington, DC & New York! From the folks over at the National Wildlife Federation to the Executives of Chevrolet rolling the new Volt and Cruze over for our guests to ride in – there is simply way too much to talk about! We plan on doing a juicy recap of the event in our Spring Issue of Eco-Beautiful!
A special thanks to Chris Kole and Fikre Ayele of The Cotton Bride. Chris created Katie’s (our Editor-in-Chief) chocolate gown for the evening and she (in her own words) “has never felt more glamorous”!
Our new managing editor Robin Fisher was the glue for the entire fashion show! Working closely with Chris Kole and Fikre Ayele to make sure the models and the dresses shined! Washington, DC has never seen such a beautiful fashion show!
We also want to send out a very special thanks to our friends at Cotton Incorporated (The Fabric of Our Lives®) and Chevrolet for making this event so special. Stay tuned for a special recap from Cotton Incorporated!

Something Old, New, Borrowed, Blue (And Eco-Friendly Too!)
It’s tradition. A bride MUST have your something old, new, borrowed and blue – but how do you keep it eco-friendly? I’m here to provide you with some eco-chic ideas for all these items!
Something Old 30+ years ago, a ‘something old’ seemed simpler since so many brides would inherit their mother’s gown. Since this seems to be a thing of the past, we have found some alternatives for your something old and environmentally conscious:
- – Your grandmother’s veil she wore on her wedding day
- – A vintage ring
- – Antique or heirloom earrings or bracelet
- – A tiny vintage purse
- – Antique lace tied around your bouquet
Something New This seems like an easier piece of this traditional poem. For your wedding most everything is new to you. It doesn’t necessarily have to be new in the conventional sense, which makes the ability to be eco-chic that much easier:
– An eco-chic wedding gown from designer like The Cotton Bride or Claire Pettibone
- – Luxurious lingerie from designers like Eberjey
- – Shoes made out of environmentally conscious materials
- – Accessories like your jewelry manufactured in the US or made out of recycled materials
- Something Borrowed Once again the ability to be green comes easier with your something borrowed. Here are some creative ways to showcase your something borrowed:
– Mom’s pearl necklace
– Earrings your grandmother wore at her wedding
– Aunt’s veil or headpiece
– Sister’s wedding shoes
– A wrap from your future mother-in-law
Something Blue Your something blue can be incorporated into multiple accepts of your wedding from what you wear to your favors, here are a few ideas for you:
– An blue, environmentally friendly garter from The Garter Girl
– Favors made from recycled papers
– Incorporating a vintage blue sash to your gown
Cheers!
