What are you doing with your dress after the wedding?

View quoted message That's a great idea! I'll look into it.

I also found another charity that takes the dress without you having to dry clean it first (they'll take care of it) and proceeds go to cancer charity. It's called The Brides Project https://thebridesproject.com/

I just hung mine up. I also don't want to pay to dry clean mine lol (it may cost me the same as the dress). I know my daughter will want her own dress one day. I may put it on marketplace for another bride to use if she wants. I don't expect to get make much for mine. I loved my dress. I may end up more or less giving it away. I'm just glad it didn't cost as much as some dresses....

My pleasure, seeing those other options that may be something I even might look into. I love giving back in some way and those great options to help a family in need.

Oh wow those are great options, thanks for sharing that info. I never thought of turning my dress into quilts or cushion covers, that could be a really nice way to hold onto it in some useful way. I will look into those charitable options as well, it would feel good to help others that way.

I see a lot of brides sell them on Market place, or do a damage shoot with them where they get a photographer and take pictures of them getting into mud pits. Some turn it into quilts, I'm thinking of turning mine into cushion covers for my bed. But it's all up to you. This place turns wedding dresses into bereavement outfits for babies. anayasproject.org, this company makes keepsakes and custom heirlooms with Donated dresses. evefoundation.org and here they help other brides find the perfect dress. Ginascloset.ca. So many options.
