Lauren's wedding was supposed to be the happiest day of her life, but things took a turn when her partner called off the big day just weeks before they were set to say "I do." Like many brides in this situation, Lauren was left with a beautiful wedding dress and no idea what to do with it.
But instead of letting the dress collect dust in her closet or selling it, Lauren decided to reclaim her power and create new memories with it. She didn't want the dress to be a symbol of sadness or a reminder of her failed relationship. So she put it on and went about her everyday life, wearing it to do mundane tasks like getting ice cream or taking a stroll on the beach.
On what was supposed to be her wedding day, Lauren got dressed up in her white gown and had a photoshoot at the seaside. She wanted to rewrite her narrative and take back some of the power she felt she had lost. Instead of being like Miss Havisham from Great Expectations, a character who is jilted at the altar and never takes off her wedding dress, Lauren wanted to create new and happy memories with her dress.
She admits that she was worried about never being able to look at the dress without feeling sad or thinking about her cancelled wedding. But wearing it out and about made her feel like a princess and brought her joy. She even plans to wear it again for other everyday tasks in her local area.
Lauren's story has inspired others to do the same with their unused wedding dresses. She has received an overwhelming response from strangers on TikTok, with many sharing their own wedding dress stories in the comments. Lauren hopes that by sharing her experience, she can encourage others to find joy and happiness in their unused gowns. After all, why let a beautiful dress go to waste?
