Preserving your wedding dress..

Where?????? How??? I'm so confused. My poor baby (dress) is just hanging there on my closet door (and gets a hug from me every morning lol). I want to wash it and preserve it, but I don't know where to go :(

Re: Preserving your wedding dress..

LOL

im not against selling it either - its my mother who thinks thats crazy!

i actually put it on the other night !!!!!!!!

DH did the corset, went outside and took pics in it with my mother and DH!!!

i was like 'c'mon, i see it everyday- its just hanging here!!!' lol there may have been some beverages involved for him to encourage me but i was sooooo all about it!!!

but i DO think its time to take it away! lol
