Took a while but I'm glad it's going to see another wedding, I loved my dress but I didn't want it just abandoned in my closet! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-poll/page/2#post-2061875 Tue, 10 Feb 2015 00:17:11 +0000 mrskc 2061875@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>professionally cleaned and boxed up. It's stored in the back of a closet. </p> <p>I just had it done over the summer (almost 4 years after the wedding). I did one of those online ones where they send you a box and you mail it off and they mail it back to you. Super convenient! </p> <p>I was going to donate it but my friend convinced me to keep it since I was having a daughter. Maybe she'll use pieces of it for her wedding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-poll/page/2#post-2061851 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 23:38:10 +0000 ALV91711 2061851@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: What great uses for your dress. </p> <p>Mine is hanging dirty in my closet 3.5 years later. I've always intended to clean it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-poll/page/2#post-2061838 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 23:05:28 +0000 birdofafeather 2061838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got mine cleaned about a year and a half after the wedding. But it's not professionally boxed. My dress was a little different than a typical dress so my dry cleaner only charged like $19 to clean it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-poll/page/2#post-2061814 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 22:24:06 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2061814@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In my closet in a bag :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-poll/page/2#post-2061751 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 21:25:55 +0000 californiadreams 2061751@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a had time finding one in my budget so I decided to splurge with intent to sell and I did. I was sad on the day I shipped it but it was totally worth it as I absolutely loved the dress I wore. And I knew it wouldn't be a good idea to keep it since we have moved around a couple of times since buying it and with cats in small apartments, I don't trust it would have remained in tact. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-poll/page/2#post-2061663 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 20:16:35 +0000 erinpye 2061663@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cleaned, preserved, and in a box in my closet. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-poll/page/2#post-2061662 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 20:15:16 +0000 photojane 2061662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I actually ordered a custom made dress from Etsy (<a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/AmandaArcher" rel="nofollow">https://www.etsy.com/shop/AmandaArcher</a>), so it was pretty non-traditional and laid back. It's hanging in my closet, waiting for me to wear it again. Our 5 year anniversary is in May, and I think we're going to take a mini-trip... I'd love to wear it to dinner one night! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-poll/page/2#post-2061616 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 19:42:18 +0000 NCSUchick27 2061616@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine is hanging in a closet at my parents' house.

I left it at my parents house and moved to a different state. My mom had a friend who was getting married and she had a very limited budget. She wasn't able to afford a dress. She just happened to be the same size as me and loved my dress. I'm not very sentimental and had no plans to save it so my mom let her have it. I got to see pictures. It was sweet and she looked happy. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-poll/page/2#post-2061482 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 17:39:05 +0000 Greentea 2061482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Stuffed it in a bin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-poll/page/2#post-2061460 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 17:27:17 +0000 LindsayInNY 2061460@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was cleaned and I've been trying to sell it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-poll/page/2#post-2061459 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 17:26:36 +0000 MarieJ 2061459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Still in my closet waiting to be cleaned 4 years later :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-poll/page/2#post-2061445 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 17:16:57 +0000 Kimberlybee 2061445@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It's still in my closet but I plan on donating it to the Little Angel Gown project where they make burial gowns for infants. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-poll/page/2#post-2061434 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 17:06:34 +0000 dolphin 2061434@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>professionally cleaned and stored in a box. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-poll/page/2#post-2061410 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 16:46:14 +0000 Astro Bee 2061410@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine was cleaned and stored at my parents house (who live on the other side of the country) with my veil, tiara, and other momentous from that day. For 3 1/2 yrs it stayed in my childhood closet, and I'd always intended to bring it back home with me, but DH and I just never had the room in our luggage. </p> <p>2 yrs ago, my parents' house burned down, and my wedding dress with it. I get a little sad, since I loved it so much and had dreams of my little girl whirling around in it as a young woman (just for fun, as I'd definitely be okay with her having her own dress). When I was 18 my mom had taken her walking out dress (the dress that the bride changes into to go on the honeymoon) out of the closet for me to try on (she'd rented her wedding dress), and it was a fun mother-daughter moment. </p> <p>Anyway, I'm mostly over it now. At least my parents were okay, even if they/we lost everything else. They are only things, even if they hold special memories. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-poll/page/2#post-2061379 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 16:27:51 +0000 woodentulip 2061379@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Uncleaned in a bin in the basement storage room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-poll/page/2#post-2061373 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 16:25:48 +0000 Mrs. Shuja 2061373@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It is still hanging in my closet, uncleaned like many others have already said. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-poll/page/2#post-2061365 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 16:20:09 +0000 littlebug 2061365@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My BFF owns a bridal consignment shop outside of Atlanta.

It probably needs to be cleaned. Have to figure out what I'm doing with it, since I officially have no daughters. Maybe save it for my niece in case she wants to do something with it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-poll/page/2#post-2061344 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 16:09:32 +0000 Corduroy 2061344@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I let a friend borrow it for her 2nd wedding. It was funny that it fit both of us but looked completely different on her. I had LO the day before her wedding so I didn't get to see it in action.</p> <p>It's back in my closet but it's a short strapless dress so it doesn't take up much room. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-did-you-do-with-your-wedding-dress-poll/page/2#post-2061342 Mon, 09 Feb 2015 16:05:34 +0000 bunnylove08 2061342@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I never got to clean it. Its hanging in my closet </p>
