Many Americans were likely cleaning out their closets during COVID-19 stay-at-home orders, filling community thrift shops with lower-quality items.
A new report from , one Ohio bride found her entire wedding ensemble at local thrift stores for $11.75.
“Because I thrift all the time, it was just the option,” Jillian Lynch said. “I never even considered going to a bridal shop.”
Lynch posted her wins on TikTok. In one video, she showed a Camila Coelho dress that still had the tags on it; the video went viral. She later shared a brand-new Reyna Maxi dress, which she had tailored.
“Brides tend to go wedding dress shopping with their mom, their bridal party, or a group of people to get feedback,” Lynch said about posting about her findings on TikTok. “It felt a lot like that.”
