Reuse Mom's wedding dress

Rachelxoxo, on October 9, 2017 at 6:14 PM Posted in Wedding Attire 0 6

I love her dress but don't want to wear it for the big day. However, if like to do something with it! Maybe do something with it for rehearsal dinner? Does anyone else have any ideas?

    I restored my mom's Wedding veil. It cost $150 and they removed the 80's style headband and added a comb. They were also able to remove the yellow age spots. I went to May Bliss in Rockville Centre on Long Island

    There's a dress in my family that my mom, granny, and aunt all wore on their wedding day. I don't fit into it (and they all got divorced so I'm convinced it's bad luck lol) so I decided to display it at my Bridal Shower. My granny cried, and my mom loved it. You could go along this route, or work it into your bouquet, dress, or rehearsal dinner dress!

    I've heard of people using lace from the veil or other parts of the dress to wrap around the bride's bouquet, cutting out heart shaped pieces of mom's dress and sewing it onto theirs, displaying it in beautiful cases/hanging racks at the reception, and little things like that.

    @Tatortot, we joke that it's cursed lol. After the shower she texted me saying "putting up the demon dress before it can wreak any more havoc"
