Resellfridges: The Wedding is a new concept from Selfridges that's popping up during wedding season so that soon-to-be brides, grooms and their guests can shop for pre-loved and vintage styles and accessories. Located at the Corner Shop on Oxford Street, this [secondhand wedding pop-up](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wedding-popup) includes a selection of [upcycled suits, designer dresses](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/menswear-showroom) and
even wedding rings curated by vintage experts.

Through a repair service called The Restory and Reture, an upcycling service, those who visit Resellfridges: The Wedding will also be able to visit to give new life to old goods. This Resellfridges concept feeds into Selfridges' commitment to sustainability and it supports the [circular economy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/coach-and-poshmark) by helping people make the most of great styles that are already out there, and ready to wear, or almost ready with a bit of love and care.
