CONSIDER VINTAGE OR PRE-LOVED

To say that the wedding dress is an important part of the wedding day is an understatement. There are several ways to find a dress that is sustainable:

• Vintage clothes shop for that preloved unique delight

• Sites such as Still White or Love Me Twice most dresses have been worn only once and are in fantastic condition

• Hiring or borrowing options

• Wearing a family heirloom with modifications made for you if required

If new is the only way to go for you, do your research. Choose a local designer who has sustainable practices and if possible designs and makes their dresses onsite. There are other ways to incorporate vintage or pre-loved into your attire or that of your wedding party through estate jewellery, pre-loved shoes, rented accessories such as bags.
