Sharethelovely just launched and we are finally able to go to market after 10 months in development. Created out my shopping experience as a bride. I married the man of my dreams a few years ago, but my budget was small, and like 65% of America 2 paychecks from Bankruptcy, with the Average wedding at $35k and dress at $2,000 dress, it was way out of my budget. I also recognized all the waste and high value retained in all those wedding items used only once for a few hours. With 2.5 million weddings each year in the US, I should have found it easy to purchase some of that for my wedding. For months I tried all the options available to purchase pre-owned and consignment, all epic fails! Have you ever tried on a wedding dress with a 5 foot train on the side of the road or a Walmart bathroom with someone you never met through an online marketplace? Coordinating schedules alone to meet at the same place and time took a bit of Magic. That’s when I saw the weakest link.
