Vintage Lace Wedding Dress

You know we love a sustainable Queen, and this vintage lace wedding dress from Oxfam Bridal Boutique is a serious win in our eyes! There are so many awesome eco-friendly aspects to this day, from the avocado-dyed napkins to the dried floral name tags, get ready to take away some serious green-thumbed inspiration. With styling from Recommended Supplier, Spark Alice Events, Hannah & Daniel’s day gives us all those rustic and boho chic vibes. Wanting to focus more on their reception, their ceremony was family only. They then met their guests at a whiskey bar on the way to the reception where it was all about the party!

My dress was bought from Oxfam's bridal shop - I think it was from the 80s!

VINTAGE LACE WEDDING DRESS

Hannah opted for a vintage lace number from Oxfam, and we simply love it! A second-hand wedding dress is a fantastic option if you’re looking to have a more sustainable day. Whether you’re heading to a charity shop, or Recycle My Wedding, you’ll find plenty of options (and we can guarantee the price tag won’t look too bad either!)

SUSTAINABLE WEDDING

Having a more sustainable wedding may seem daunting, but there are so many small things you can do that will make a big difference! Hannah & Daniel’s choice of dried florals, naturally dyed napkins and a vintage wedding dress are fantastic options in ensuring things are a little more eco-friendly. Trust us, greener decisions are not as scary as they seem!

You know we’re big fans of the grazing table…

Our wedding was delayed a year due to the pandemic and during that time we had a baby. It was so special to share it all with our daughter (who was only 5 months old).
