Bridal Dress...what to do with it after?

I don’t think I could part with mine so I will have it boxed

It is nice to wear it on anniversaries. but i know, After some point you could turn it into something useful. Still I don't agree with that. I feel like, its a memory.

I am planning on keeping it in a small display in my closet like I did with my last dress. I could never get rid of it as it holds great sentimental value to me and I will love looking back on our special day.

Agree! So many ways to get creative with it.

I don't think I could part with mine so pretty safe just boxed/in closet

If I'm having a little girl I may just keep it for her and she can make a new dress. So many options on pinterest.

I was very torn about this. I asked my daughter if maybe she would want it for when she gets married - she said no. I'm not at the point of selling it, yet. So just dry cleaned and boxed it

Oh that's so cool, photos will be awesome and there will probably be some laughs along the way doing something like that haha

View quoted message My gosh! It’s beautiful!

My photographer asked if I would be willing to do some hiking and climbing in it for her portfolio! Pretty stoked to get some super cool shots 🧗‍♀️

It would be nice to be able to wear it again especially if it was an expensive purchase.

Below is a photo of my dress

Oh absolutely! I couldn't bring myself to do anything to my dress

View quoted message Yea I don't think there's much of a market where I live but it's worth a try. I bought it from a 2nd hand bridal store (but it was brand new) unfortunately I can't resell it to the store cause it's 2 provinces away

I'm so surprised it's not selling, especially at such a discount! I wonder what the market is for brides buying previously owned gowns. I only know of those who have purchased new.

I've been trying to sell it but it isn't going well. It's a beautiful dress and im trying to sell it at like 80% off. If it doesn't sell soon I'm going to consider getting it made into more of a cocktail dress

I would love to see what your dress looks like, sounds perfect.


I’m leaning towards just keeping it (without preserving) and should there be an opportunity wearing it again. Might be wishful thinking because of what mine looks like.

I got mine preserved in a box

I thought of wearing it on our anniversary for 5 years then turn it into a blanket or throw pillows.
