You’ve found the perfect dress and you never want to take it off - if only we could get away with wearing wedding dresses to work eh?! Instead of hiding

your beautiful gown in the back of your wardrobe, why not try one of these postwedding dress ideas.

Frame it

Rehome it

Style it

Box it

Never want to stop looking at your dress? Nowadays brides have the opportunity to frame their dresses so they can display them forever in their homes. An eye-catching talking piece for parties, don’t you think?

Why not get your dress restyled so you can wear it again? There are many dressmakers out there who would love the challenge you could chop and change the style or even dye it to a completely different colour. We’ve even seen brides save their dresses for their daughters and get them restyled for the day perfect for a hint of vintage.

Whilst many brides choose to sell on their dresses, we love the idea of passing it on to charity. Helping others have their dream day by donating your beautiful dress will make you feel amazing.

Keep your dress safe from dust and light pollution by getting it professionally boxed. Bridal boutiques tend to offer this service and for affordable prices - a great way of keeping your dress safe for years to come.

Trash it

This super popular option is great fun and something you can do with your partner. Arrange a photo shoot with your wedding photographer and grab the paints, head to a farm or find yourself a beautiful river to dunk in. GfB The Wedding Directory 2018
