Instead of opting for fast fashion, a bride went the vintage route when sourcing “getting ready” robes for her bridal party — and now she’s winning accolades from sustainably-focused Gen-Zers online.
TikToker Kaitlin Anne (@kaitlinnanne) gained over 1.5 million views, 192,000 likes, 15,000 saves and 700 comments when she shared her vintage robe collection online.
But Kaitlin’s not the only TikTok bride opting for meaningful secondhand pieces for her wedding. Recently a bride brought her grandmother to tears when she wore her 1970s courthouse dress down the aisle at her wedding rehearsal — and before that, a bridal shop went viral for turning a mom’s 1984 boxed-up wedding dress into a modern rehearsal-dinner dress.
These unique wedding videos speak to a larger trend of Gen Z and younger millennial brides turning to heirloom and vintage pieces for their special day — not only for their dresses and those of their bridal party but for chairs, table settings, favors and more.
By eschewing fast fashion and mass-produced products, the trend is heralding in a new era of more meaningful — and more eco-friendly — weddings.
