What Should I Do With My Wedding Dress?
I am having buyers remorse….2 months after the fact, but the effect is still the same. Why did I spend so much on a wedding dress? What am I going to do with it after everything is over?
The killer part is that I won’t even get to wear it all day. I’ll be in it 4 hours tops and then it will be done. People on the web are always buzzing about trash the dress. While the pictures are lovely I could never do that.
Then there’s the option of saving it for my future daughter or grand daughter. I am nostalgic like that but I have a feeling my kid’s won’t be.
I could preserve it in a pretty box…but that doesn’t make me feel like I am getting my money’s worth.
Or I could cut it up and make something pretty like a pillow case, but I don’t have it in my heart to take scissors to all that goodness.
I guess the most logical thing to do is to wear the thing again. So my mission is to find an occasion (or make one up) so that I can wear my wedding dress more than once.
But donating the dress is a great idea, a lot of place require you have the dress cleaned first though - just FYI. There is also the option of selling the dress, maybe on ebay. Try to recoup a little of your expenses, you know?
You can donate your dress to a non profit that cleans it up, reslls it, and gives all profits to breast cancer research. You get a write off and GREAT KARMA. I used them a couple years ago, makingmemories.org
