Planning a plant-based or environmentally sustainable wedding requires a balance of eco-friendly values and earthy aesthetics. Luckily, both are becoming more accessible to brides every year, thanks to many handmade designers and artisans working with plant-based, biodegradable materials.
The beauty of planning your wedding your way is that you can ignore traditional wedding standards and wear a dress that truly empowers your individuality-- without making a mountain of plastic waste in the process.
(pssst... both dresses come in natural undyed white flax, or naturally dyed with pigments from plants!)

As an unusual and mystifying tribute to the earth, these unconventional folk clothes hangers are an aesthetically pleasing and organic alternative to the traditional hanger. Each is hand-carved from poplar wood and finely sanded for a soft buttery feel and rustic appearance. The bewitching wood-burned design alludes to the whimsical plants, animals, and natural energies that reside in the deeply wooded areas of the earth. Use it as an unconventional keepsake to remember the magic of your special event!
Slanted arms and rounded edges are designed to be gentle on delicate fabrics. Spaghetti strap notches can be added for free, by request.
The wood-burned design is an original illustration, done freehand (not on a machine).
It is possible to personalize it with a wood-burned engraving on the front or back. You should contact us with what you would like (such as name, wedding date, birth date, etc), and you will be sent a mockup.
This artisanal hand-carved, wood-burned wooden clothes hanger is perfect for bohemian and eco-friendly weddings as a wedding dress, suit, or tuxedo hanger, or as the bridal party and bridesmaids gifts.
The enchanted wooden clothes hangers are a coveted item by wedding photographers who specialize in a natural bohemian vibe-- these give wedding-dress photos an additional indie-folk feel.
