COME THRIFT WITH ME FOR A WEDDING DRESS

As you guys know I am getting married in the next couple months so I figured it was finally time to start wedding dress shopping and I first wanted to check out some thrift stores to see what gems they had! I definitely now have a better idea of what kind of dress I want and I am excited to take you guys on this journey!👇🏼 Click down below for more 👇🏼

COMMON QUESTIONS:
- Why are you so orange? I do not fake tan, it's the filters on my camera and they can sometimes turn me warmer than I am depending on the light, although I am quite tan naturally in person (I'm Italian)

- Do you bleach your own hair? HECK NO, my hair dresser does it all 😅

- How old are you (were you born in '83)? I was born august 3rd 1994 (currently 25), the "83" in alexasunshine83 is for 08/03-83! Basically alexasunshine was taken 😬

- Why do you thrift? To stop my consumption of fast fashion due to the horrible treatment of workers and the negative environmental impact of waste fast fashion produces. I recommend the documentary The True Cost 👍🏻

The second savers that you went to is literally a minute away from my work and where I grew up....I died when I saw it!

Catching this 5 years in…. But I loved that 1st dress 👗 you tried on….

[shyanneblake]

another tip from me is if you find a dress that you like but the colour isn't what you want, you can bleach/dye it!

that green dress at the beginning😍 but I don’t know if Southern California has these but Ollies bargain outlets have lots of second hand wedding dresses

Never really thought about thrifting for a wedding dress before!

I have days off on sundays and wednesdays so I always can look forward to Alexas uploads 😊😊

This video was so perfect and I love the sustainability behind thrifting a dress you’d probably only wear once !! (What a concept lol) also loved the editing :)

Try Deseret industries they always have their own section for wedding dresses!

My husband and I got married last october and had planned to just get married at the court house- please look into this before hand because we were told there was absolutely no guarantee on a time or even a day if you do it this way! We ended up finding someone to officiate us at a dance studio with close family and going out to eat afterwards!

Wow amazing like it budgeting on a wedding day

[kathleenreynolds]

I bought mine online for $150 new and it was vintage looking then I paid for the alterations which made it a little more expensive. Now it just sits in my closet lol.

If you find the wedding dress that you want in the thrift store, and it is too big, please still get it and have it alterations done. That is what usually done if you buy it new anyway. The wedding dress shops don't have dresses by size. They have it by style and have the alterations done for the specific bride. Enjoy the process and hope you find the dress that you want. 💕

I mean a denim wedding dress would be on brand with you’re style 👀👀😂

[spotlessmindx]

Thrifting a wedding dress will be challenging
hopefully you'll have better luck finding the one plus you can always get alterations or buy a new dress from a sustainable store :)💛💜

It is bad luck if you put someone dress because you don't know what happened behind that dress
