Wedding dress?

So my wedding dress is still hanging in my spare closet.  Essentially untouched since the wedding day, haha.  I had eventually planned on having it cleaned, preserved, etc., but out of sight, out of mind, you know?

 Anyways, I was just curious what you guys have done with your gowns.  For those of you that had them cleaned and preserved, how much did you pay?  Through the boutique I bought my gown at, they charge $205 + $20 for the veil, so $225.  I have a coupon for $50 off though since I bought my dress from them.  However, I feel like $175 is a lot of money to spend on a dress that I'll never wear again, you know?  Our dry cleaners also advertises wedding dress cleaning/preserving (they call it heirlooming, haha).

Just curious!

Re: Wedding dress?

  • I haven't done anything with mine either. Wearing it for our Rock the Dress pictures actually cleaned it off so it's not as dirty as it was right after the wedding. I too agree, that paying that much to just have them put it in a box is a bit crazy but wh

  • Mine is also sitting untouched in my parent's house.  I do want to clean it, but it is so expensive and I just haven't gotten around to it.  It seems like SO much money though... I'm curious if anyone else did anything with theirs.

  • I have had my dress cleaned and heirloomed back in October after our Rock the Dress shoot. I felt it was worth it to protect it from yellowing and get eaten by moths or something. I bought my dress at David's Bridal and paid $99 for the preservation. H

  • I got lucky, my mom took it to the cleaners while we were on our honeymoon and had it picked up by the time we got back. So now it's sitting in my old bedroom in a nice box at my parents house. I think it was around $200-250 to have it preserved. &nbsp

  • Mine is also sitting on our guest room closet untouched since the day after the wedding. I've been debating whether or not I want to do a Trash the Dress shoot, which is part of the reason I've never done anything with it.

  • I guess I thought about doing a TTD shoot...but honestly, I can't muster up enough enthusiasm to do so.  I'm still sick to my stomach to think about my wedding photographer losing all the video cards of the video clips she took from the wedding. &
