Nuptiae: Wedding in Latin

Inspired by falling petals and flowing water, “Nuptiae” is a feminine wedding gown that merges natural beauty and modern design. It includes traditional wedding dress elements such as a structured, formfitting silhouette with a high slit and a full bodice lining. Sourced by Hemp Traders, “Nuptiae” utilizes 55/45 Hemp Organic Cotton Suede for the bodice and 60/40 Woven Hemp Silk for embellishments and the lower portion of the dress making the dress over 55% hemp fibers. The only synthetic material used is the invisible zipper, which can be easily removed in recycling. “Nuptiae” is a sustainable and decomposable wedding dress, returning to earth the materials that created it. Hemp is typically a fiber viewed as having poor drape and hand, but this gown demonstrates how formal, soft, and fluid hemp fibers can be when combined with cotton and silk. Elevating hemp to wedding couture breaks new boundaries and opens the public’s eye to the endless possibilities’ hemp fibers have. “Nuptiae” is an innovative garment that showcases the extreme possibilities that hemp fibers have in fashion today.
