Make Way for the “Paper” Bride

Many say that this is the year to get married. And while many brides-to-be are anxiously awaiting what type of dress to wear, it may be well to consider using alternative materials for their wedding gowns. Actually, these days we see the evolution of the wedding paraphernalia. And one notable material being used is that of the paper dress.
A paper wedding dress designed by a student at Gray’s school of art is to dawn the catwalk at a prestigious bridal awards ceremony. Christina McIntosh’s eco-friendly design has been shortlisted in the 2009 Bridal Buyer Awards.
Christina’s design, entitled “A Paper Promise”, was inspired by ideas of an eco-friendly future.
After a lot of consideration she decided to find a material that was as recyclable as paper.
Tyvek is an extremely versatile material which looks just like paper but is much more durable and is often used in the industrial and medical packaging industry.
The innovative idea even incorporates origami flowers.
