Other options for your wedding dress

Your wedding is over and you're not sure what you want to do with your dress. You've read the previous posts about wedding dress preservation, but want to know your other option. So what options are out there?

There are many options if you want to do something different with your wedding dress. One thing that a lot of people do is use their dress for material for another project. What type of things can you make out of your wedding dress?

• A christening gown for your baby (or a family member or friend's baby).


• Make it into a quilt that you can use frequently.


• Make it into pillows.


• Almost anything else you can think of.

There are many other options when making a decision on what to do with y our wedding dress after the wedding. You can:

• use it for a halloween costume for youself or a loved one.


• dye it and use it for a formal dress for other occassions. This usually works best with a very simple gown.


• donate it to a charity.


• donate or sell it to a consignment shop (think GoodWill).

If you are attached to your wedding dress, the best option is still wedding dress preservation. Then you still have your dress available and able to be seen.
