Wedding Dress
What did you do with your wedding dress after the wedding?
Just curious.
How many people store it? Sell it? Wear it again? Do that whole 'Trash The Dress' thing?
What did you do with your wedding dress?
I had it dry cleaned and vacuum stored for now. Not as soon as I should have though! 
If my husband will let me, I plan to wear it again. For me, that was always my intention when I had it custom made. I'm not one of those traditional sentimental types who dreamed about their wedding gown since they were 10. I hate the poofy "McGowns", not my style. My gown was not traditional, and I could get away with wearing it to a formal event. I can't wait to wear it again.
I don't expect that if I have a daughter, she'll want to wear my gown. Not at all. And it's not something I care about. Styles change, and what I loved may be nothing like her taste. And she may not be my size. I'm petite, and my husband is almost 6'3.
The whole "trash the dress" idea didn't really appeal to me, but some brides say that was the best part of the wedding. You decide.
Nobody here should judge. Everybody is different. It's your day, your dress. If you do plan to keep it in storage, the best advice I can offer is to get your gown cleaned RIGHT AWAY. So many brides have their gown in the closet and forget to do this. By the time they want to have it boxed up, the stains have set.
Also, take your gown to a dry cleaner familiar with wedding gowns. I had some *serious* issues with my gown, and some damage (thankfully on the underside) that I am not sure if I can ever fix. I was ticked off. Beware.
Many people do sell their gowns. Gown sharing and donating your gown to breast cancer research or charities for military brides are other options. Personally, I think wedding gowns are too expensive to wear for less than one day and thrown in a box. But maybe that's just me! It's not the gown that's important, it's the memories of the day!
