30 Times Brides Should’ve Thought Twice Before Buying Their Wedding Dresses

Wedding dresses are supposedly symbolic of purity, innocence, and a fresh start. According to Georgina Scott Bridal, they also denote the bridal family’s wealth, something that has been prevalent since Medieval times. 

White wedding dresses have been around since the early 1920s. However, they only became an established tradition in 1957, according to Vogue. 

“Even in cultures where white wedding dresses are not the norm—such as China, where traditionally red symbolizes luck and prosperity—some brides change into white dresses for official photographs,” an excerpt from the article reads.

Many women choose to preserve the sanctity of their wedding dress and refuse to use it again. However, others have found creative ways to rewear their gowns from their big day. One of them is Sarah Godfrey, who went viral on TikTok for how she repurposed the corset of her dress. 

In an interview with Vogue Australia, Godfrey refuses to accept the notion that rewearing a wedding dress should feel sacrilegious. Most of the people who commented on her video agree, as she got mostly praise. 

“Daring to rewear one’s wedding gown feels in line with the idea that, yes, the wedding is a life highlight. But no, it’s not the only one,” she said.
