Dutch couple opts for sustainable wedding at railway station

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 railway 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, cause close to her heart. That is why she and her 44-year-old husband Mathijs Dordregter choose sustainability as the theme of their wedding, with the help of Free Fashion.
