I've actually tried to take it to my house a few times but each time my mom claims she's totally going to get it cleaned, but our 3rd anniversary is in April so I'm not holding my breath. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1/page/2#post-586126 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 09:03:06 +0000 Chillybear 586126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cleaned and preserved with my veil in a box in our office closet </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1/page/2#post-586048 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 08:40:46 +0000 Smurfette 586048@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cleaned and preserved and now sitting in the box at my parent's house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1#post-586035 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 08:34:24 +0000 purrpletulips 586035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cleaned, preserved, boxed in our storage unit; it was only like $20 more to preserve/box it so we opted for that since it would take up less space. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1#post-585969 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 07:59:45 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 585969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is still dirty and in the garment bag it came in. I can't imagine how dirty it is considering they didn't hem it up high enough! I want to get rid of it to make more room but I'm to sentimental and some day I'd like to be able to for into it again. I was my smallest when I married DH so it would be a major accomplishment. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1#post-585953 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 07:45:49 +0000 LulaBee 585953@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Also unwashed in my closet. It doesn't take up much space so I haven't really given any thought to what I might do with it. I doubt my daughter will want to wear it, but I guess I'll keep it for dress up? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1#post-585937 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 07:37:22 +0000 LemonLong 585937@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mines hanging unwashed in a garment bag in the guest room closet. One of my facebook friends whips out hers every year on her anniversary and has a dress up dance party with her young daughters. It looks like a blast! Her husband is military and isn't always home for anniversaries so it seems like a good way to celebrate without getting bummed that he cant be there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1#post-585848 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 03:15:21 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 585848@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>You and I are in the same boat! Mine is still hanging in my closet, unwashed... but I did put it in a black garment bag when we were moving!.... it is still in the same bag, folded in half... waiting to be dealt with. I wont part with it. Ever. But I do need to get it cleaned before any stains become permanent! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1#post-585841 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 02:53:06 +0000 immabeetoo 585841@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sold it! No regrets here. I have pictures for the memories and more space in my closet :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1#post-585812 Fri, 22 Feb 2013 02:03:47 +0000 loveisstrange 585812@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is also dirty, still hanging in my moms closet. Lol. Ive actually booked our wedding photographers to take some pictures of C with it for some of her 1 year pictures. After that? I dunno. I thought I was someone who would sell a dress before I got married, but I think Im going to keep it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1#post-585392 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:40:54 +0000 autumn865 585392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is uncleaned and hanging in my closet still. I have a daughter so I hope someday she could use a part of it in her wedding. I got a couple offers from Weddingbee inquiring if I would sell it but I just can't part with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1#post-585159 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:11:23 +0000 Turd Ferguson 585159@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Blah. It's "cleaned" and hanging in the closet. I was going to sell it but it didn't come out clean enough. Boo. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1#post-585154 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:10:29 +0000 softcream 585154@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i've worn it out once since the wedding to a nice dinner. it's knee-length, but not a real wedding dress. just a fancy cocktail dress in ivory. i might get it professionally dyed at some point so i can wear it some more. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1#post-585126 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:04:53 +0000 prettylizy 585126@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>hanging in the laundry room from the rafters, still dirty with jamaican sand on the hem :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1#post-585121 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:04:19 +0000 Mrs. Chalk 585121@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's in a cedar chest at my mom's house. I always toyed with the idea of making Mr. Chalk get all dressed up and doing photos, but I doubt we'll ever do it at this point. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1#post-585075 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 20:58:29 +0000 doodlepoodle 585075@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is hanging up dirty too, don't feel bad :) It's got a gin and tonic spilled down the back, dirty and gross. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1#post-585025 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 20:52:55 +0000 mauri 585025@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is still dirty and hanging off our loft bed! Hopefully I'll get my act together and get it cleaned and boxed up before our son gets here in May. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1#post-584615 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 20:01:48 +0000 GrapeCrush 584615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is unwashed in the closet...

We went to a pub for our reception and I have been scared to look at the bottom of that dress since I wore it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1#post-584568 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 19:56:23 +0000 Honeybee 584568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My mom had it presevred.

Not sure what I'll do with it. I kind of wish I could wear it again. Assuming it would fit, of course. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1#post-584551 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 19:53:39 +0000 autumnlove 584551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Had it preserved and it is in the closet at my MIL's house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1#post-584543 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 19:53:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 584543@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still dirty and hanging in the closet in my old bedroom at my parents' house. It's in good company, hanging next to my sister's dirty wedding dress :)</p> <p>I'm sure if I have a daughter, she won't want to wear it, but I still can't bear to part with it. I'd be fine if she and her friends just played dress up in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1#post-584540 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 19:52:48 +0000 Reese 584540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have it ..its in the closet.

I can only imagine what it looks like now, after a year and a half. </p> <p>I actually decided to save it for kind of a weird reason. I saw on pinterest where a group of friends did a photo shoot in their wedding dresses after the last friend got married. Well, our "last friend" is tyng the knot next February so I'm hoping we can make that happen. After that, I'll probably donate it. I doubt it will still be in style 20something years from now when my hypothetical daughter gets married. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-1#post-584382 Thu, 21 Feb 2013 19:30:36 +0000 mrskc 584382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still dirty and hanging in the closet.

My sil used part of my moms dress in their chuppah. You never know!</p> <p>I preserved mine.
