It is the dream of every lady to walk down the aisle to be joined in holy matrimony with the love of her life. Before her wedding day, a lot of planning would have gone down; getting the venue for the wedding, the perfect wedding planner, the food and drinks, and of course, the wedding gown.
After going through many bridal magazines and bridal pages on social media platforms then trying on countless gowns in the fitting room, congratulations to the bride-to-be after she found the perfect gown.
The wedding gown is so lovely that of it were possible it could be worn every weekend! Unfortunately, not so. The following are suggestions on what to do with your wedding gown after the wedding:
1. Gift A Bride To Be
If your wedding gown 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.
The dress is certainly dear to your heart, but one question lingers: what will happen to this beautiful gown after the wedding?
2. Sell or rent wedding gown
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 gown.
3. Redesign 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.
4. Wear the wedding gown again
Yes, you read right! If your wedding dress isn’t so dramatic, you can always wear it to another event like a red carpet event. Please don’t wear 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 too. 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. Get creative with your wedding gown
You can convert your wedding dress into something smaller and more manageable, like a throw pillow cover, table cloths, 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.
