WEDDING DRESS INSPIRATION - York-Based Glory Days Bridal Introduces The New Eco-Friendly And Ethical Rolling In Roses Collection, Sappho
20th January 2020
At Glory Days we sell the complete Rolling In Roses collections which are made here in York from ethical and eco-friendly fabrics, and we also offer a bespoke service so brides can have their dream dress made from scratch and choose their fabrics, so if they have special requests (a fully vegan wedding dress for example), we can provide a made-to-measure dress from their individual measurements. We then have a large collection of original vintage wedding dresses which of course are the most eco-friendly option of all!
Paying special attention to the eco-friendly and ethical materials used in their construction, we introduce the latest offerings from Rolling In Roses; the 20-piece Sappho Collection comprises of 8 dresses, 4 skirts, 5 tops, a pair of trousers, a jumpsuit, and a veil!
The Daughters Dress is made from ethereally soft organic silk chiffon overlaid onto an eco-friendly satin made from rose petal fibre. The organic silk is manufactured right here in England; even the mulberry leaves which are the silkworms’ only food are grown here too, making it a highly sustainable fabric. The lace trim used to decorate the bodice and cuffs is made the traditional way on century-old Leavers lace machines in Nottingham by a ninth-generation family of lacemakers. Lined with a breathable silk-bamboo blend charmeuse to keep you cool and comfortable.
Diaphanous and light as a feather to wear, The Flowerdeep Dress is made from a stunning embroidered cotton lace overlaid onto satin made of organic rose petal fibre; an ethical vegan-friendly alternative to silk. Lined with a lightweight satin made from orange-fibre, a super eco-friendly material made with the by-products of the citrus juice industry.
The Longing Dress is constructed from super soft fluid satin which is made of orange-fibre; an ethical vegan alternative to silk. The orange fibre is made from by-products of the citrus juice industry, which means it is a super-eco-friendly material; it is available to order in matt or satin finish.
The Nightingale Dress is constructed using a luxuriously soft crêpe fabric made entirely from recycled bottles. Also lined in an eco-friendly satin made from the fibres taken from organic rose petals, this gown is perfect for the ethically minded bride.
The Rejoicing Dress is made using ethical organic peace silk which is made the traditional eco-friendly way (without chemicals and with utmost care for insects and the environment). The soft matt silk is scattered with subtle gold lamé flecks which catch the sunlight and is lined with a bamboo-silk blend charmeuse.
The Muses Dress pays a subtle ode to the ancient Greek poet Sappho who inspired the collection. Constructed from satin-backed crêpe which is made of orange-fibre; an ethical vegan alternative to silk. The orange fibre is made from by-products of the citrus juice industry, which means it is a super-eco-friendly material; it is available in matt or satin finish.
The Golder Dress is made from a wonderfully delicate silk chiffon shot through with gold lamé which catches the light as it shimmers. This is overlaid onto an ethically produced organic peace silk, which is manufactured right here in England; even the mulberry leaves which are the silkworms’ only food are grown here too, making it a highly sustainable fabric. It is decorated with lace trims which are made the traditional way on century-old Leavers lace machines in Nottingham by a ninth-generation family of lacemakers. The dress is also lined in eco-friendly orange-fibre fabric.
The Sweetclover Dress is constructed from eco-friendly organic peace silk which is ethically produced in the UK, with delicate lace trims inserted into the sleeves, bodice, and skirt.

Lined with a breathable silk-bamboo blend charmeuse to keep you cool and comfortable.
The lace trim in the Sweetclover dress matches the trim on the Sappho Veil, which is made from a soft faux-silk tulle.
