The bride glowed, the guests have oohed and aahed, pictures had been taken and the vows have been said. After the wedding gown has served its purpose, brides are left with the dilemma of what to do with it. Tradition dictates that the dress be tucked away and preserved in hopes that a daughter or granddaughter will wear it someday. There are other options, however, that have begun to gain traction in the past years.
With the economy only starting to recover from the recession, some brides take the practical route and sell their used dress.
FOXBusiness.com best describes this option: “Brides who paid full price for their gown can save money by selling it after their big day. Although there is a lot of nostalgia associated with preserving a dress in hopes of future generations walking down the aisle in it, selling it guarantees it won’t sit unopened in a box.” A similar option is to donate the dress and get a tax rebate.
Some brides can’t bear to part with their wedding dress, however, but don’t want to keep it in storage either. Framing their wedding dress in a shadow box has been a creative option for these brides.
If a bride prefers to keep the dress in her regular rotation of clothes, one option is to redesign the dress or dye it. Altering the gown to a knee length dress will make it the perfect outfit for a formal event. Some brides go a step further and dye the dress a different color.
