It requires a lot of time choosing the perfect dress for your big day. The robe is usually fitted to the body with precision by a seamstress, so that it fits superbly. Unfortunately, that generally means that the wedding robe will never be used, and probably not even seen around town, again. But there are numerous methods to recycle a wedding dress, making all of the cost and effort appear more profitable. Hence what do you with the bridal ensemble after your special day? 

You Can Preserve It - Many younger girls dream their entire lives about wearing the same bridal ensemble their mother walked down the aisle in. So saving the bridal ensemble so future daughters (or daughters-in-law) can use it is a extremely popular option. At that point the robe can be changed to fit and suit the taste of the new bride. 

You Can Sell It - Local consignment shops, eBay and many other venues can help to sell unwanted wedding dresses, giving at least some kind of return on the cash spent on it when it was brand spanking new. In the present economy, many girls are trying to trim down the budget of a marriage, but still need to retain lots of the normal frills. Purchasing a second hand, once worn bridal dress can represent a big saving. And if tiny modifications are made before the big day then the dress can still be customised towards the new bride. 

You Can Give It - Wedding ensembles can be given to different charities to help someone else realize their dream. Giving your wedding dress will free up space for storing if you are not planning on holding onto it in the long run. And knowing you have helped someone else's big day more special than it could have been is reward in itself. 

As a Naples wedding planner I'm sure that a bride's important day isn't built only on the look and form of her wedding dress. Yes, it is a big part of the function, and also helps to build anticipation, principally among the female guests who are attempting to guess the style the bride might select. In the same vein memories of the marriage remain within the bride's mind, regardless of the type of dress she was wearing. The continued reminders come from images and videos, perhaps even a special song that was played in the reception. But having a pricey wedding outfit gather dust in a box placed in the wardrobe does nothing to reinforce the memories. So if you can bear to let it go, sharing the thrill of wearing that wedding gown with someone that is less financially well off than yourself could be a way of extending your pleasure just that little longer.
