Just curious...I love my dress but I really didn't expect to spend over $1000 but I did. No regrets but I want to know what are you doing with your dress after marriage? I can't see just putting it in the closet somewhere.
my sister got her dress made in to her 6 month old daughters christening gown. yes, a seamstress cut up her expensive wedding dress, but her daughter got to wear it and it's now small enough to keep in the back of the closet forever!
I also plan on preserving mine in hopes that a future daughter will some day wear it. My dress also has sentimental value because my aunt made it for me. There's no way I'll ever part with it
Re: After the wedding...
Probably have it dry cleaned and then wear it around the house sometimes and eventually have it preserved :-)
