Dress after the BIG DAY

Original post by Aiyana

So I am just wondering...what are you planning to do with your wedding dress after the BIG DAY?

*I am trying to come to my senses and realize that I shouldn't spend a lot of money for a dress that will only be worn once.

Oh ive gotten a ton of use out of my dress! A few days after the wedding I was folding laundry in it. DH came home from work and saw me and was about to have me committed

Ive also just worn it around the house 'just because' watching TV, handing out Halloween candy. Id say I got enough use out of it. I want to try it on again on my 1 year anniversary to make sure it still fits, then I will have it cleaned and preserved.




LOVE IT!!!

I love that idea!! So cute :) I was thinking I will have it preserved so I can make it into a christening dress if I have a baby girl.

My mom says I should sell it but I don't know if I can. First actually need to purchase a dress.

I will probably just preserve since we have a christening gown in the family made from my Grandma.

Or I was actually thinking about donating to some sort of foundation where brides cannot afford a bridal gown.



That is really sweet!!! My cousins friend did that

I am donating it to brides against breast cancer. I will never wear it again, so I figure someone else can AND I'll be helping out a good cause at the same time. here is the info if anyone wants it! http://bridesagainstbreastcancer.org/
