EcoZeal

Olivia Luca’s creations prove that eco needn’t lack sophistocation.

Anyone who had one of those design-your-own fashion plate kits as a girl remembers the satisfaction of coming up with your very own designer creations. Combine that experience with a growing selection of sustainably produced, fair trade and organic natural fabric options, and seamstresses who stitch your design into reality - and you get a bride’s Green dream come true.

All the Fun – Without the Hassle

That’s what Olivia Luca has to offer. The brainchild of designer and owner Terri Spaeth-Merrick, the company’s website  features an interactive design studio that lets you take control of every detail of your wedding dress design – without having to pick up a thimble. Starting with selecting your skin tone (for a finished product that looks great on you) the tool guides you through the selection of every facet of the dress design, from the details of the bodice, skirt and trim to fabric and color selection. You can save the finished product to your own private dressing room and go back for as many as it takes to decide on your final style.

The designer’s tool is a great option for bridesmaids, too, especially if your wedding attendants have very different body types. Pick a fabric and color that complements them all and let them choose details to flatter their own physiques.

Turning your dream dress into reality couldn’t be easier. Olivia Luca’s design professionals stitch up your creations in your chosen fabrics and ship them 12 weeks from your order date – be sure to factor in an additional two weeks to allow for alterations!

Sustainable to the Core

Another note about Olivia Luca – ordering from them doesn’t just get you beautiful clothing made from sustainable fabrics. By doing so, you’re also supporting sustainable business practices. The Portland, OR company provides its employees with comfortable, supportive working conditions and a living wage; recycles and uses recycled office products whenever possible; offsets CO2 emissions by the purchase of Terra Passes for their vehicle use; and supports alternative/renewable energy through their utility service providers.
