What did you do with...

Your wedding stuff?  I was cleaning out our spare closets the other day, trying to make more room, and came across 2 bins of wedding stuff (bouquet, a few decor things, etc.)  What did y'all do with all of your stuff?  I have a few things I could sell on craigslist (vases and such.)  I'm torn on what to have as keepsakes and what will just contribute to clutter. 

Can y'all believe 9 months has passed already?  That's crazy!

Re: What did you do with...

  • I've sold some vases, but for the most part I still have all my stuff in my "wedding room".  Its the room we use for storage, I do plan to clear it out sooner rather than later - hopefully before our 1 year anniversary ha. 
  • I still have my dress, veil and one box of wedding items. Plus two bags of stuff sitting in our dining room (9 months later...) that I need to go through before we move.
  • Donated my dress a few weeks after the wedding, and threw away/donated just about everything else.  We kept the guest book, photos/frames from the tables, and some of the cards that had meaningful messages in them.

    Otherwise... it's just stuff. No need to keep that clutter. When we moved, we realized we hadn't looked at the extra junk or other 'stuff' so we tossed it. 

  • We still have most of it. We tossed some stuff and sold the candy jar vases. I was pretty excited about selling the vases since I managed to flip them for more than I bought them for!

    The rest of the stuff is in our second bedroom which would be nice to reclaim.

  • I sold some of our wedding stuff and just gave the rest away.

  • My dress and shoes are still at my parents' house.  I have a box with my jewelry, veil, and garter here at our apartment.

    And I saved all of the cards and our guestbook.  That's about it.

  • My dress, veil and gloves are hanging up at my mom's still!! We'll package them for handing them down to a daughter or niece soon. My jewelry and shoes are with me at our apartment. I'll likely wear both again sometime. My shoes are super comfy. The silk autumn leaves and candles we used for decor have been dispersed as gifts or used as home decor (Mom made a wreath out of some of it). My flower girl's dress was worn at my stepsister's wedding (just added a purple sash).

    We didn't do favors, and we didn't make our own programs (the church did), so we don't really have leftovers there.

    Wow, typing this out brings back memories. I can't believe it's almost been a year!

  • I borrowed a lot of decor so it went back to the original owners.  I made pickles and gave them away in all the mason jars. I  loaned the chalkboards to a friend and then sold them. I gave my wedding shoes to my niece for prom. My guest book was a vintage suitcase - so anything I could keep in that small space I kept - but otherwise got rid of most of it. I have a few table runners to donate and some extra favors I will give to another friend who gets married soon.
