Charity wedding dress search
May 24th, 2010 by Katie
I was chatting to my friend who’s getting married in September and was delighted when she said she really wanted to get her wedding dress from a charity such as Oxfam Bridal.
Weddings are such an expensive business, she said, ‘I just want at least one bit of the expense to go somewhere where it can do some good’ – and she thought she would probably donate the dress back again after the big day.
Obviously my friend knows I run Ethical Weddings but as a rule I don’t preach to my nearest and dearest so it was lovely to hear that we shared the same views.
She hasn’t found ‘the dress’ yet though so if you’re in London or Sussex and see a fab wedding dress in a charity shop (size 8-10 – although could be taken in if bigger) let us know and we’ll track it down. And if you’re able to send us a pic, all the better!
Happy dress hunting,
Katie
This is a fabulous and charitable idea! I think that charity wedding dress drives are wonderful as well. If you aren’t going to wear it again, why not donate it to a lucky bride?
This is great. I hope she has luck finding her dress. I think it is a wonderful idea to find a used dress. It saves a lot on the wedding cost as well.
Wish your friend all the best with her dress. And great for her that she will also donate her dress after she uses it! Not a lot of brides can do it.
