For anyone looking for something truly unique and sustainable, these recycled wedding dresses by F by A Unique Bridal redefine what wedding fashion can be. Founded on the belief that the life of a wedding dress doesn’t have to end after one wear, this innovative bridal brand transforms damaged, outdated gowns and rescued textiles into bespoke creations for the next generation of couples. We caught up with the brand’s owner and designer to learn more about their inspirations, their commitment to sustainability, and what’s next for this modern-day company.
Tell us about your company & what you do?
“We are one of the world’s first 100% recycled bridal ateliers. We take damaged and out-of-date wedding dresses, rescued textiles, and deadstock fabric and redesign them into one-of-a-kind bridal looks for a new generation of brides. We believe the life of a wedding dress doesn’t have to end on the wedding night. By redesigning these wedding dresses, we’re able to preserve the memories while also making the bride’s dream wedding dress, without making the planet a mess”
What are your influences when you design/create?
“My inspiration for the designs comes from everything around me. Most of the time, I can look at the fabric or the dress and let it tell me what it wants to be. I have known I wanted to be a designer since I was around 10 years old when I watched Project Runway for the first time.”
Who is your typical couple?
“The brides and grooms want to stand out and be unique on their wedding day. They don’t want to go to a bridal shop and get a dress that a thousand other brides or grooms have worn before.”
How important is being sustainable?
“It’s the whole premise of the brand. We even try to reuse zippers, buttons, and beads from dresses we’ve salvaged.”
What are you most proud of so far?
“Being able to say we were one of the first in the movement towards 100% sustainable bridal wear.”
What is next for you and your company?
“Growth and moving the mission forward. Our next move is competing in the Waste Management Trashion competition in Las Vegas, NV. Next stop, New York Fashion Week.”
HOW CAN WE GET IN CONTACT WITH YOU?
Dresses can be purchased either online on our website or at our partner store Blue Champagne Bridal Co. In Carson City, NV”
