Before that ‘D-day’, a lot of planning would have gone down; getting the venue for the wedding, the perfect wedding planner, exquisite food and drinks and of course, the wedding dress.
After going through many bridal magazines and trying on countless gowns in the fitting room, you finally found ‘The Dress’.
Your husband to be likes it, your friends love it too. Your dress is so pretty that you wish you could wear it every weekend! Unfortunately, you can’t.
The dress is certainly dear to your heart, but one question lingers: what will happen to this beautiful dress after the wedding?
Some families have a tradition of passing it down to their children, others just dry clean after the wedding and keep it in their homes.
We have found five creative and brilliant things you can do to your wedding dress after the wedding.
Gift A Bride To Be
If your wedding dress is so precious to you and you don’t know what to do with it after your wedding, you can give somebody that is really close to your heart who is getting married soon. The person could be your sister or cousin or really close friend.
Change The Style Of The Dress
You don’t always have to wait until your future children get married before you share a piece of your wedding gown. You can easily transform the dress into a christening gown for your future daughter.
If you have a beautiful, high-quality dress, then why not put that material to use? This is why a lot of former brides choose to redesign their dresses into skirts, shirts, cocktail dresses etc. This is a chance to be creative, fashionable, and thrifty with your amazing gown.
Sell Or Rent The Dress
Just as picking out your wedding gown is a personal choice, selling it afterward is up to the bride. Another creative thing to do to your wedding dress after your wedding is to sell the dress or rent it out to other brides who can’t afford a new dress.
4. Wear The Dress Again
Yes you read right! If your wedding dress isn’t so dramatic, you can always wear it to another event. Your wedding dress can be worn to other events like dinner parties, date nights etc.but don’t ever where the dress to another person’s wedding especially if your dress is white. You can also consider turning your wedding dress into a gorgeous cocktail dress. If you have some time between your wedding and honeymoon you can get your wedding dress shortened and take it with you, or, if that’s not an option, shorten it later and wear it on your one year anniversary or other special occasions.
5. Convert the Dress Into Something Else
You can convert your wedding dress into something smaller and more manageable, like a throw pillow cover, table clothes, napkins, small clutch purse, Christmas tree decoration etc. You just have to imagine something really creative and make it. Some new brides even go ahead to convert their wedding into lingerie for their first anniversary.
