What will you do with the dress after the wedding?

Joey, on December 27, 2018 at 08:05 Posted in Wedding fashion 0 14

Once the wedding day is over, what do you plan to do with your dress? Preserve it? Repurpose it? Sell it? Donate it? Trash it?

    100% keeping my dress! I don't know if I would want to sell it off and I definitely wouldn't want to trash it (I don't think my mother who is paying for it would appreciate that lol).

    I'm definitely keeping my dress. Probably just dry cleaning it then keeping it in a good garment bag. I have made "jokes" about doing my house cleaning in it... but actually I just want to be able to put it on whenever I want... hahaha.

    I think I will keep mine! If my daughter (one day) wants it, I think that’ll be special!

    I will keep mine for awhile due to sentimental feeling but eventually I am planning to dye it into different colours. Cut it to make a short party dress and transform the remaining of the train into a long skirt.

    I'm not sure yet, though I like the idea of preserving it. This way it'll be well kept until I make a decision (and if I don't, then I won't have to do anything with it!)

    I'll be saving a small piece of fabric, before consigning it!

    I love this idea! Super cute!
    I for sure want to keep mine. I have seen posts on Pinterest where it is put in a big shadow box and then displayed somewhere in the house. My goal is to have a big walk in closet somewhere down the road that I can hang it in!

    I’m still debating I want to keep it but I won’t get a lot of use out of it! I might sell but then I won’t have it lol

    I get to wear my dress twice! we are having two receptions Smiley smile and then after that I will be dry cleaning it and putting it in a safe place so that one day i can put it on again, or offer it to my future daughter (hopefully lol)

    My mom still has her wedding dress and it fit me perfectly.. however, I wanted to get my own dress but it was nice that she still had it around..

    I am preserving it, but I like the idea of wearing it again on anniversaries and stuff! We will see!

    I will definitely be keeping mine either way so that we can have a big anniversary party some day! But, I am also hoping that some day I will have a daughter and that I can do photos of her wearing it every year. I absolutely love this idea of having photos through the years of her wearing it!

    I think that I will be keeping mine. My Baba kept her wedding dress and at her 50th wedding anniversary they took pictures recreating the wedding with those still alive which was incredible!

    I'm still in debate! I really want to bring it on our Honeymoon and get a picture in the water with it on (not too deep don't worry I have read the horror stories...)

    After that I have been wanting to keep it to turn into a baptism outfit for our future children maybe? But then donating it also sounds so good.... so hard to decide!
