Many of us brides here debate what we’ll do with our dress once the big day is over. I have far from decided myself, but one thing I will be taking into consideration was my own mother’s decision. Moon Mom, or MOB as I affectionately call her in our wedding related conversations, was married on Memorial Day weekend 28(?) years ago. She made the decision to preserve her gown with a professional cleaners. Here she is on the day of her wedding in her stunning gown.
Moon Mom - stunning isn't she?
Look familiar? Yes its the same dress from the image that I chose to ‘selective color’ in my last post. Here let me refresh your memory (sans selective color, of course):

Before I started looking for my perfect wedding dress, I used to think that after the wedding I would just donate it, sell it, or do something productive with it because I did not want to have that hanging in my closet for the next 30 years!
However, after going through the process and finding my dream dress I began to realize that it would be very hard to let go of it later…. I’m so in love with my dress that I want my wedding day to last forever just so that I can wear it. It took 6 months to make, and I waited patiently but now that it’s in my closet I cannot wait to wear it… and it would be so sad, so very sad to give it away after my special day 
My friend who just got married a few months ago, had told me about the gown preservation kit she used for her dress and when I saw it I knew that’s what I wanted to do with mine. A few stores I checked out were charging over $400 but I found it online through David’s Bridal at a pretty good price of $189…. and it is now part of our Wedding Registry
I recommend this to anyone who wishes to preserve their dresses, it looks like a doll box.. so cute!
What are you doing with your dress?
