As a bride with a passion for sustainable living, splurging on her wedding gown was never likely to feature on the planning list.

Findabhair (Finn) Ní Fhaoláin, a Dublin-born marine biologist, found the perfect dress for €25 on Depop. “I love, love, love talking about sustainable and secondhand fashion, so my dress was a complete dream find!" she says. "For me personally, spending big on a dress was never something I was keen to do (I wanted to keep that budget for really enjoying our hotel, getting massages).”
