Thrifting isn’t always the first option that comes to mind for nuptials, but one look at Lana Del Rey‘s wedding dress might just convince more people to get on board with buying secondhand for their big day. The singer, who recently tied the knot with swamp tour operator Jeremy Dufrene, reportedly opted for a vintage gown from a secondhand shop to say her “I dos”—proving fairytale weddings don’t always have to come with a designer price tag.
According to TMZ, Lana found her perfect dress at Vintage Market by Trashy Diva in New Orleans back in May 2024. The boutique, known for its curated styles from the 1920s to Y2K, became the unexpected source of Lana’s stunning boho bridal look. While the exact price remains under wraps, sources suggested to TMZ that she likely spent no more than $400—a far cry from the typical celebrity wedding budget.
The couple exchanged vows on September 26, 2024, at Airboat Tours by Arthur in Des Allemands, Louisiana. This wasn’t just any random venue choice—it’s where Lana and Jeremy’s story began. “The wedding ceremony and reception were both held in the same bayou where Jeremy operates his swamp boats tours,” a source told People. “This is where they first met. It’s a special place for them. It was a beautiful, relaxed and family-focused wedding. The focus was just on their love story.”
Photos of Lana’s wedding dress obtained by the Daily Mail show the “Summertime Sadness” singer in a white gown with a ruffle neckline, and her hair adorned with a light blue ribbon. Her new husband Jeremy, the alligator tour-guide-turned-groom, looked dapper in a dark suit. The wedding setup was a blend of rustic and charming elements, with white tents near the water, tables and chairs for guests, and a boat decorated with greenery and white florals.

While Lana and Jeremy have known each other since at least 2019, their romance really kicked off earlier this year. A source close to the couple shared with People, “It’s been kind of a whirlwind romance, but Lana’s close friends hoped she would get married. Jeremy is different from the men that Lana meets in the entertainment world. He’s a great guy. He’s charming and charismatic in a Southern way, very much a gentleman and he treats Lana really well. She’s an old soul.”
Lana’s father, Robert Grant, reportedly walked her down the aisle as she carried a bouquet of flowers. The intimate ceremony was a far cry from the glitz and glamour often associated with celebrity nuptials, instead focusing on the couple’s connection and shared history. So, the next time you’re scrolling through endless wedding inspo on Instagram, remember: sometimes, true love doesn’t need all the bells and whistles. It just needs two people, a special place…and, maybe, an alligator or two in the background for good measure.
