Winner of the prestigious LVMH Prize, Bodice blends contemporary fashion with sustainable processes. It uses handwoven and naturally dyed fabrics, emphasizes zero-waste patterns, and supports slow production.
Though unconventional for bridal wear, the Bodice is ideal for pre-wedding looks, civil ceremonies, or modern brides seeking minimalist design rooted in ethics.
6. House of Angadi (Angadi Galleria)
This Bangalore-based label gained nationwide attention when Deepika Padukone wore their Kanjeevaram sari for her wedding.
Known for supporting handloom weavers in Tamil Nadu, House of Angadi uses pure silks, natural dyeing, and traditional looms. The brand is a shining example of how heritage, sustainability, and royalty can co-exist.

8. The Loom
The Loom curates handmade apparel and accessories from small artisans and independent designers across India. Many of their pieces are made using organic cotton, hand-dyed silks, and traditional weaves.
Though more popular for festive and function wear, they’re a go-to for brides wanting sustainable yet stylish looks for smaller ceremonies or functions.
How to Know if a Bridal Brand Is Truly Sustainable
Not sure if a brand’s sustainability claim is more than just marketing? Here’s what to look for:
✅ Handwoven or natural fabrics (khadi, silk, cotton, etc.)
✅ Support for artisan communities
✅ Transparent sourcing and production practices
✅ Minimal or reusable packaging
✅ Focus on quality over quantity
Pro Tip by Team Plannersy: Ask your designer where the fabric came from and who made the garment. The brands that care always tell you proudly.
Still Want a Designer Look but on a Budget?

💚 Conclusion: Walk into Forever with a Dress that Tells a Story
Your wedding outfit is more than just a piece of clothing, it’s a memory stitched in time. When that outfit is created ethically, supports an artisan’s livelihood, and treads lightly on the earth, it becomes even more magical.
Choosing a sustainable bridal wear brand is not just a fashion choice, it’s a love letter to your values. So take pride in being a bride who cares, for culture, craft, and the climate.
“Because real beauty doesn’t cost the earth, and neither should your bridal lehenga.”
