分享
Getting married? Congratulations! One of the biggest decisions as a bride is which wedding dress you will wear. Where do you even start looking? There are so many available options out there. If anyone watches the popular Netflix show or follows their favourite celebrities on Instagram, you will notice vintage wedding dress is making a big comeback.
Why should you consider choosing a vintage wedding dress for your big day?
The reasons are simple:
1. Uniqueness
Buying vintage is different to shopping for high street brands garments, and there usually would be only one piece available. You know the vintage piece you are buying is one of a kind, not mass-produced, and truly unique to you. You will be stunning in a dress on your big day, knowing no one else can buy it in a different size or colour. Every vintage wedding dress is a limited edition in itself.
2. Quality
Many vintage dresses are handmade or made in very small quantities. They are also made from premium quality fabrics. The construction is typically better quality than the modern wedding dress mass-produced abroad. It also withstands the test of time, sometimes more than decades. So if you purchase a vintage wedding dress, you know you have a piece worth handing down from generation to generation.
3. Sustainability
Wearing a vintage dress is a form of recycling. It requires no new materials or new production. This means you are minimising your carbon footprint by wearing something already made. You are also reducing any potential waste that goes into our planet associated with producing new wedding dresses. Reusing, recycling and reducing are the three essential steps in prolonging our environmental sustainability.
4. Costs
Although you can find wedding dresses that are mass-produced cheaply, most wedding dresses are expensive. Some could even cost thousands of pounds. Anyone who plans a wedding should already know how expensive a wedding is. The venue, catering, cake, flowers etc., there are so many bills to pay. A vintage wedding dress could offer you the best value for your money. It is not necessarily the cheapest option but usually costs much less than a brand-new dress.
5. Match the Theme
Depending on which era your vintage wedding dress is from, you can easily match the theme of your big day with the dress. If you picked a 1970s dress with bell sleeves and beautiful lace, having a bohemian-themed wedding with romantic flowers can be a perfect inspiration. Want a wedding dress like a princess from the 80s? Not a problem! Royal-themed wedding with white flowers in a country manor or a church could be a great idea. A long minimalistic silk dress from the 90s will be perfect for a barn wedding. Fancy something different from the traditional long dress? A mini dress from the 60s could be your best match. A mini dress is a great idea to show off your shoes and brings a modern twist to your wedding theme.
