INSPIRATION

Let’s dive into what’s really in conventional textile dyes, how they affect us, and the sustainable solutions that could change the game for good.

Not all silk is created equal. Many low-quality silks use harmful chemicals during production, affecting their safety, longevity, and sustainability. Here are the key processes and pitfalls to watch for:

The fabrics used to adorn tables or the ribbons used to wrap flowers and gifts may seem harmless, but their production and use can leave a lasting impact on the environment. Synthetic textiles, which dominate the global market, come with a hidden cost for the planet. 

The tradition of including "something blue" in weddings symbolizes love, purity, and faithfulness. Traditionally, brides would wear a blue garter beneath their wedding dress, but modern interpretations include blue accessories, flowers, ribbons, or even subtle details in the wedding decor.

Tabletop lamps are a hot trend in 2025 weddings. From magical receptions to intimate dinner settings, tabletop lamps add warmth, intimacy, and a curated look to wedding tabletops. But why settle for basic when you can easily create something bespoke? 

Color evokes emotions, tells stories, and carries traditions across centuries. At Silk & Willow, we cherish the beauty and symbolism of colors, channeling their significance into our silk ribbons and infusing them with meaning.

Ribbon bows are a timeless décor that's hotter than ever for 2025. Whether you're planning an enchanting wedding, a heartfelt anniversary celebration, a sweet baby shower, or a momentous birthday, ribbon bows on candles bring an extra touch of magic. They can be playful, romantic, sweet, or even sultry, making them adaptable to any theme or mood you envision for your event.
