Its amazing how so much of a bride’s time is spent searching to find the perfect wedding gown only to wear it for one day in your entire life. By the time its all said and done, most of us are wondering about how to preserve the gown and keep it locked inside a closet as if it was a relic in our personal fashion museum.

Donating Your Gown
A wedding dress is an expense for most us, but some brides cannot afford such luxuries, so why not do the charitable thing and donate your dress to a bride in need. If you don’t already know someone who is getting hitched in the near future, consider donating to Brides Against Breast Cancer, a charity that resells bridal gowns at a much lower cost while helping to fund Making Wishes (a fund that grants wishes to those battling with terminal breast cancer). This choice is a win-win situation for everyone.
Trash The Bridal Gown
If planning the wedding has been an extremely stressful event for you, then you might want to consider trashing your wedding gown! No, its not what you’re probably envisioning, its a fairly recent trend that uses professional photography to capture the bride in unexpected settings such as inside a water fountain or sitting in a field of dirty weeds. Trashing your bridal gown is a fantastic way to relieve stress in a creative outlet. If you choose this option, remember to seek a professional photographer who specializes in this type of photography.
