Just wondering what people were planning on doing with their dresses after the wedding???xx

well im plannin on being blessed the day after so hopefully get to wear it again :)

but i dont kno really

i want to keep it for a while i think xx

I want to keep mine. I have 2 young daughters and I thought it would be nice that they could have the option of possibly using some of the elements of my dress i.e. the beading or something in their own dresses when the time comes. But they are only 3 yrs and 2 months so will have to look after it for years yet lol

Yeah I reckon I might wear mine in secret from time to time too, when hubby is at work and kids are in bed, lol

Lol thats an idea!! xx

oooooooooo yeah thats an idea :) xx

Mines now hanging up in the spare bedroom!! Not sure what I want to do with it tbh

I like that idea Hails. Maybe I'll take mine on honeymoon with me (Cornwall so can get it in the car) and have h2b (who's a photographer) take some pics of me wearing it on the beach.

I dont know where i saw it but someone had a big perspex picture-like frame made for their wedding dress and it was hanging on the wall-it looked fantastic!!! Id like to do that but my h2b thinks im mad! lol x

Keeping it for at least a couple of years, as I want to go to a wedding dress ball, then probably to charity. I have no need for it, and that way it can make someone else happy.

Have you seen this whole "trash the dress" thing that seems to have taken off? Google it...

ooohh, a wedding dress ball, im loving the sound of that! uk bride should do one every year! ill be wearing mine again for our renewal of vows and blessing next feb, then after that thereis a strong possibility ill be wearing it to do the dishes, hoovering ironing etc... haha! x

The balls are for charities. Tickets can be expensive, but I really want to go to one!

Mines will prob lie in a cupboard my sister who got married six years ago hers is not in an airtight bag in my mums cupboard! xx

Probably twirl about in it every now and again whenever I need a pick-me-up lol x

Mine is handmade, so i'm not too sure whether anyone would want to buy it. As we are camping, it will probably get ruined in the mud anyway. Its only costing me £100 and a lot of a time.

oh thats a great idea celi. Ill prob keep mine and wear it from time to time when nobody else is around.
I have seen videos where brides trash their wedding dresses, like having a food fight with their husband etc or shes has pics of her laying in the sea.
personally i think thats nuts coz id rather sell it if i didnt want it anymore and get my money back. hehe
xxxx

mines being put away,,however all my jewelery is being kept for my daughter to use,we thought wed start a family tradition,but im not allowing anyone else to wear my dress,i couldnt!!!!

Probably sell it. I can't ever imagine wearing anything my mother wore, so I wouldn't put the pressure on any daughter I may have to wear my dress!

I'm usually a massive hoarder, but I can't think the dress will do anything but rot for a few years, then get thrown out. I'd rather someone else used it.

Not that I HAVE a dress as yet, mind you..

i will be wearing mine every saturday night! x

l never thought about what to do with my dress but it is dyeable and we do attend several balls thoughout the year, so maybe have it altered a little around the bottom and turn it into ballgown x

Just out of interest, gitls who are keeping their dresses for daughter- would you have worn your Mothers dress if you could have?
