Plus, someone once said to me when I first got married – “sell your wedding dress sell your happiness” – which has stuck with me!

I got married two years ago and I can’t imagine giving away my wedding dress. It just makes me so happy to look at it every single day and think about our happy wedding day. And it also reminds me of the day that my syster and I went to this wadding dress shop and picked this one, and afterwards we had coffee in my car when it was raining outside and then she couldn’t start her car so we spend more time together waiting for it to be fixed and just enjoyed our quality time together. And offcourse the other day when I tried on the dress at the shop when it was ready and my mom looked at me and got so excited. This beautiful dress stores so many great memories and gives me good energy (“sparks joy”) so I definitely gonna keep it for myself for a long long time 🙂

They are given to the family for burial during this most difficult time.

great idea!….there was fabric from my mother’s wedding dress in a cedar chest and one sister who sews has made hankies for all brides in the family since, christening pillows,…it’s been a lovely memento of my mom who died in 2006 and has missed many of these occasions that have come since.

The purse was so special to her because it was the something old… my mother is no longer here and in a special way she was still present at the wedding. Just an idea if you have a daughter and she gets married someday.

In ways I wish I had donated it right after the wedding. It would have been simpler. Now, I have 5 daughters, 3 of them the same size I was when I got married. Yet its not likely they will use it. The style is very dated. But I can wish. After they are all married I may donate it (youngest is 11 so its a ways away).

I pulled everything out like this once. I was overwhelmed trying to decide what to get rid of, so I began by just putting what I knew for a fact I wanted to keep back in my closet. After hanging them up and turning back to the stack on my bed, I did a literal double take. I had 20 “everyday” shirts in my closet already. Does anyone who owns a washer and dryer really need more than 20 everyday shirts? I gleefully packed up and donated the rest of them (over 200 tops). Did the same thing for every category. Where my closet used to be packed to the gills, now its airy and light. 🙂

She may want to reuse some of the fabric for her wedding gown or Christening gown for her future baby.

In case you have a photographer or a friend with a camera, have a fun photoshoot and then say thank you and pass it on to someone else 🙂

My wedding dress was my something borrowed, and I’ve never regretted that. Someone will love a beautiful dress, for a much more reasonable price.

There are so many women out there who would love a beautiful dress to wear on their wedding day but just can’t afford a new one. If you find a place where loved and used wedding dresses can be bought by someone who will be ever grateful.

I was pregnant at my wedding so hopefully my girls will not need a dress that size????, but the material is so lovely and I thought they should have something that they could carry with them on their wedding days is if they would like. Thank you for the video, Melissa! Merry Christmas to you and your family!
