Every bride takes time to find the PERFECT dress. We try on our dress numerous times leading up to the big day but then after the cash is spent, the champagne is done, the band has wrapped up and you and hubby have said “I do” and enjoyed your honeymoon…what are the plans for your wedding dress?
No worries - we’ve compiled our top 5 ideas of what brides do with their wedding dress after the wedding.First things first, no matter what your plans are, you have to have your dress cleaned first, so we didn’t included that in our top 5 list.
Have it preserved and keep it as a keepsake. If you have a daughter she may want to use your dress (as her “something old” or her “something borrowed”). There’s no guarantee that your daughter will want to wear your wedding dress, but it’s worth a shot.
Donate your wedding dress to a deserving charity. Some charities, auction or sell wedding dresses and donate the proceeds to a particular benefit (i.e. Cancer Society, etc.)
Use some of the fabric from your wedding dress and make something for your little one. For example, instead of purchasing a Christening gown for your baby, have one made using fabric from your wedding dress.
Turn your dress in to something you can wear again. If you have an A line wedding gown, why not turn it into a cute corset top and matching skirt. You can take it a step further and make a shawl or a matching draw string hand bag. The possibilities are endless.
Sell it! If you’re not emotionally attached to your dress, put it in a consignment shop or sell it online. If you do not have problems parting ways with it then why not free up some closet space!
We hope that these tips have given you some ideas to consider after the big day has come and gone. Feel free to post comments with any ideas that you may have as well!
