‘Something borrowed’: Dutch bride opts for recycled wedding

UTRECHT, Netherlands: “Within like 30 minutes I knew this was the one,” Lara Peters said of the second-hand wedding dress she had just worn to her marriage — in the Netherlands’ busiest rail station. Peters, 42, had found the dress two days earlier in a shop run by “Free Fashion,” a Dutch foundation devoted to recycling clothing to combat waste — a cause close to her heart. That is why she and her 44-year-old husband Mathijs Dordregter chose sustainability as the theme of their wedding — with the help of Free Fashion.
