Hey have you guys had your wedding dress cleaned yet and stored? I haven't gotten it cleaned yet and I'm not sure where I'm going to store it. I saw a picture on pinterest of a wedding dress framed and hung on the wall. I thought that was so cool but I'm wondering how I would go about doing that.

While I was on my honeymoon, my parents took my dress and had it cleaned and preserved for me. The thing that sucks is that it is now sealed in an air tight box, and if I open it, it will ruin whatever kind of preservation they did to it, so I have to keep it in there and can't look at it
I am SO glad to hear I'm not the only one who hasn't cleaned yet. haha
I also saw that picture on pinterest, it looked like a really awesome idea. We don't have a house yet so I'm hoping it's still possible!
How fun! It's fun to think of a reason to wear it again haha
I really like the idea of getting it framed even if it's just to hang the frame in my basement. It's cooler than storing it in a closet forever.
this is interesting! although I'm still not sure where I would hang it?!?!

I agree! I'd love to actually see it...not just on the website that does it for you.
It is really expensive to get your dress professionally cleaned! I haven't done mine yet, but I need to because I'm going to donate my dress to Brides Across America.
Is this different than what ash did? Can you open your box or does it have preservatives on it that makes air ruin it?
can you share a pic?

Sorry, I work late on Thursdays. Here's some pictures:
Please ignore the box that my box is sitting on lol. I don't dare open the plastic up, I think that would ruin the "preservation"
They mailed me a shipping label, then I put my dress in an old Crate&Barrel box and dropped it off at Staples. Only took about 2 (?) weeks for them to ship the dress back to me!
Me too! I think if I had it boxed like that I would want it so you could see the whole dress. It turned out really pretty tho.
That's so fun! I wanna wear my dress every year! I bet it keeps your weight on target to where you were when you got married if you try on your dress every year, too.
