Lana Del Rey THRIFTED her wedding dress at New Orleans boutique ‘months’ before marriage to Jeremy Dufrene

Lana Del Rey thrifted her wedding dress at a local New Orleans boutique months before she even went public with her and Jeremy Dufrene’s relationship.

Unlike most stars who opt to get custom-made dresses from designers like Vera Wang, Carolina Herrera and Elie Saab for their big days, the superstar, 39, reportedly found her look in May at a small shop called Vintage Market by Trashy Diva.

A source said TMZ that it’s “not clear whether Lana walked into the store specifically looking for a wedding dress, but after trying on a bunch of other things, she ended up falling for the dress she saw in the window.”

While the exact price of her dress is unknown, the publication noted that $400 is the “typical price range for retail wedding dresses, with curated styles from the 1920s to the millennium.”

Del Rey’s dress featured a bohemian white wedding gown with a ruffled neckline and a flowing skirt with a train.

For the occasion, Del Rey styled her hair in a curly ponytail, adorned with a playful light blue ribbon.

She and the father-of-three shocked fans after tying the knot just a month after going public with their romance.

In new photos and videos obtained by DailyMail.com earlier this week, the blushing bride was pictured being walked down the aisle by father Robert Grant at Des Allemandes.

The beaming bride – who is reportedly worth $30 million – held a floral bouquet in her hand.

The unlikely couple exchanged vows by the water in the same bay where Dufrene takes his popular airboat rides.

Instead of his standard trucker hat, Dufrene wore a stylish black suit, white shirt and brown leather shoes for their backyard wedding.

DailyMail.com has contacted Lana’s representatives for comment.

After trying out the knot, Dufrene — a Louisiana native — grabbed Lana’s hand as they made their way to the outdoor reception.

The newlyweds walked past one of Dufrene’s famous swamp airboats, which was tied to the dock and decorated with white flowers for the couple’s special day.

The wedding and reception were held along the public harbor, with numerous tables set up under huge white tents on the grass.

Lana’s mother Patricia Ann Hill, 68, her sister Caroline Grant and brother Charlie Hill-Grant were also in attendance.

This marks Lana’s first marriage and Dufrene’s second.

The wedding comes just hours later TMZ reported that Lana and her new husband picked up a marriage license on Monday, September 23.

The license still needs to be returned and registered.

The singer first met Dufrene in 2019, before being spotted holding hands with him in England on August 25.

She then attended Karen Elson’s wedding to Dufrene earlier this month – with the loved-up couple holding hands at the star-studded party – where Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce were in attendance.

This came just days after she broke her silence on her rumored romance, with a comment under an Instagram post from @thejustnlife, speculating about their relationship.

She was previously seen holding hands with Dufrene ahead of her performance at the Leeds Festival last month, and fans further speculated that she dropped a huge hint about her rumored lover in one of her songs.

“She wanted to go on a boat ride because it’s a big thing in Louisiana, but she never expected to fall for an alligator boat captain,” a source told DailyMail.com earlier this month.

A source told TMZ that it’s “unclear if Lana walked into the store specifically looking for a wedding dress, but after trying on a bunch of other things, she ended up falling for the dress she saw in the window.”

The couple first met when Lana performed at the Buku Music + Art Project in Louisiana in March 2019. She took one of his boat rides while she was in town.

“When Lana visited the area again in May to perform at Hangout Fest, they were both single and reconnected,” DailyMail.com’s exclusive insider revealed.

‘He saw his golden opportunity and asked her out, and they have been together ever since. She likes older men.’

Her relationship with Jeremy initially caused concern among friends who were convinced they would discover something suspicious about the divorced father-of-three.

But they soon realized that he treats her well and gives her what she “needs” from a partner.

“Her friends and team have been scrutinizing him because they were worried he could use her, but his business is lucrative and he doesn’t need Lana’s money,” the source said.

“They can see that he treats her well and that he is very, very low maintenance. He gives her what she is looking for in a man and is romantic.’

Lana went public with Jeremy on August 25, when the pair were spotted holding hands and having a romantic meal together in London after performing at the Leeds Festival.

The source added: ‘She took him to her most recent run of shows in Britain, which was a big step. He’s a good guy and she’s very attracted to him. He is a good father and no one who knows him has anything bad to say about him.”

During Lana’s first alligator boat ride in 2019, she shared photos with her fans on Instagram and Facebook.

In the caption, the Born to Die singer wrote, “Jeremy lets me be captain on Arthur’s Air Boat Tours x.”

In one of the photos, she sat next to Jeremy with her tongue hanging out as he helped her steer the airboat.

He also appeared in the background of a photo of Lana posing with her friends during the tour.

She heavily promoted Jeremy’s workplace in the post, sharing a photo of the handmade Arthur’s Air Boat Tours sign and the company’s phone number.

Jeremy also posted a photo with Lana on his own Instagram, writing, “I never know who I’ll meet on my tours but always a pleasure @lanadelrey.”

He looked absolutely smitten next to the brunette beauty in the photo as they posed with their arms wrapped around each other by the swampy water.

But the pair didn’t date immediately, with Lana going on to date Live PD hunk Sean Larkin, 52, after their first meeting.

She then started dating Clayton Johnson, to whom she became engaged but later called it off.

She had then had rumored affairs with Salem rocker Jack Donoghue and, most recently, musician Evan Winiker.

She has had her sights set on the swamp expert since their reunion in May, when she enlisted the help of her friends to join her on one of his famous airboat excursions.

She documented the swamp adventure on her Instagram and even tagged her rumored boyfriend in a post published on May 16.

“Family with my husband @jeremy.dufrene,” Lana wrote in the caption.

Jeremy has been working as a captain at Arthur’s Air Boat Tours since at least 2015.

The guide’s Instagram page — which is now private — is full of videos of his interactions with the wild alligators that rule Bayou des Allemandes, often called the “Catfish Capital of the Universe.”

He seems absolutely fearless while filming Reels in which he finds himself hand-feeding chunks of raw chicken to alligators.

He calls the alligators his “Cajun yard dogs” and has names for each of them.

Dufrene’s swap tour has been attended by a host of celebrities over the years, including Kate Hudson, Emma Roberts and Hollywood’s hottest leading man Glen Powell.

Dufrene’s down-to-earth Louisiana lifestyle is a nice change for Lana, who has dated a slew of famous faces since finding mainstream success in 2011.

She previously romanced Scottish singer-songwriter Barrie-James O’Neill, photographer Francesco Carrozzini, rapper G-Eazy, police officer and reality TV star Sean Larkin, musician Clayton Johnson and rocker Jack Donoghue.
