NEW YORK (AP) — Brides and grooms who want more sustainable options for their weddings are transforming an industry traditionally fraught with waste. The wedding resource The Knot estimates that more than two-thirds of about 15,000 site users did or planned to incorporate eco-conscious touches. And The Knot said those couples think vendors should be more proactive in leading the way. On Pinterest, searches for thrifted weddings have tripled, according to the site’s 2022 wedding trends report. The online resale giant Poshmark said demand for secondhand wedding dresses is at an all-time high, especially for those costing $500 or more.
