The unconventional wedding reflects Lana’s signature style, blending romance and simplicity
Lana Del Rey, known for her ethereal voice and timeless style, surprised fans once again with her unconventional wedding to Jeremy Dufrene, an alligator tour guide, in a small, intimate ceremony on Thursday in Des Allemands, Louisiana. The singer, whose personal style often mirrors the nostalgic, vintage charm of her music, made headlines for choosing a thrifted wedding dress costing less than $400.
A vintage wedding dress for less than $400
In keeping with her love for all things vintage, Lana’s wedding dress wasn’t the typical designer gown associated with celebrity weddings. According to sources speaking to TMZ, Lana found her gown months before the ceremony at Vintage Market by Trashy Diva, a New Orleans boutique that curates styles from the 1920s through the Y2K era.
While it remains unclear if she had been actively searching for a wedding dress, Lana reportedly tried on several items during her visit in May before falling for a dress displayed in the shop’s window. The stunning gown cost her less than $400, highlighting her preference for simplicity over extravagance. The choice of attire perfectly complemented the singer’s low-key, bohemian aesthetic.
A Louisiana love story
The intimate wedding took place at Airboat Tours by Arthur, the same company where her now-husband, Jeremy Dufrene, works as a guide. The couple, who had been spotted obtaining their marriage license just days before the ceremony, exchanged vows in the presence of close friends and family.
Lana had spent significant time in Louisiana in the months leading up to the wedding. Reports suggest that the two first met in 2019 when Lana visited Louisiana for the BUKU Music + Art Project festival and took one of Dufrene’s airboat tours. The connection between the singer and the local tour guide blossomed over time, with rumors of a romance sparking last month when the couple was seen holding hands at the Reading & Leeds Festival in the UK.
A quiet, personal affair
True to Lana’s signature understated elegance, the wedding was a quiet, personal affair. Unlike many high-profile celebrity nuptials, the couple kept the ceremony private, with only close family and friends in attendance.
Jeremy Dufrene, who has two daughters and a son, has remained out of the spotlight despite his recent marriage to one of the world’s most famous singers. Meanwhile, Lana, who was last rumored to be dating musician Jack Donoghue in 2022, seems to have found a meaningful connection in Dufrene, a man who shares her love for the simple, authentic moments in life.
While Lana Del Rey’s wedding may have been unconventional by Hollywood standards, it was undeniably true to her spirit—romantic, vintage, and effortlessly unique.
