How to incorporate mother's wedding dress

View quoted message

Nice that's a neat idea too! That's so cute that your dog will be the ring bearer. We have thought about having our dog included but we aren't certain she'll behave herself she gets nippy if she's overwhelmed

Our ring bearer will be our dog and I was thinking of using some of the material from my MIL's dress to use as the pillow for the rings.

Oops I meant mil instead of moh guess I'm not good at the wedding lingo

I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. That's a really neat and unique idea with the heart shaped fabric sewn to the inside. I will certainly post an update after my dress appointment - I have an appointment booked with a store I like in August, and I hope they don't mind me bringing in these dresses!

My mom passed away unexpectedly and suddenly two years ago. To honour her, I’m having her wedding dress made into a dress for my rehearsal dinner. I’m also having a heart shaped piece of fabric sewn into the interior of my dress, over my heart.

That may may be something you could do? I’ve seen others use the material from dresses for their bouquet also.

Let us know what you decide!

Veil would be a great idea I'll definetly talk to a seamstress or someone and see if they have recommendations

My friend is using the train of her mother's dress as her veil! I have also seen some people get some of the lace taken off the mother/grandmother's dress and have it sewn onto their dress in different spots. You can also talk to your seamstress about different ideas!

I love the bouquet wrap idea thanks!

Although I am not going to be using my Mom's dress or veil - the thought did occur to me so what I was thinking about doing was taking the veil and putting sleeves on my dress (she had a cathedral length veil of course). That or like Carly suggested - use her dress as a wrap for the flowers

My plan is to cut a piece off my grandmothers dress (my mom didn't keep her dress) and wrap that around me flowers. It will also act as my something old.
