If you are like most brides, you will invest a lot of time and
money on finding the perfect wedding attire. Bridal jewelry, a
wedding gown, shoes, and a bridal bouquet are all components of
a bride’s wedding attire. Every bride wants to look beautiful
on her wedding day and sacrifices a lot of money to do so. After
spending thousands of dollars on your wedding, how can you make
the most of it after the wedding is over? There are many creative
ways that you can repurpose your bridal jewelry, gown, and bouquet.
Reusing Your Bridal Jewelry and getting the most out of it:
· Wear your bridal jewelry when you celebrate your first
anniversary.
· Wear your wedding jewelry to your child’s wedding.
· Save your bridal jewelry for your daughter, niece, or
granddaughter to wear on her wedding day. Note: Be sure to store
your bridal jewelry properly. Swarovski bridal jewelry should
be stored in a soft jewelry pouch or box. Be sure to keep it away
from excessive heat.
· Allow your sister or best friend to borrow your bridal
jewelry for her wedding.
· Save your wedding jewelry for your daughter’s senior
prom.
Reusing Your Bridal Gown to relive the moment:
· Have your wedding gown remade into a christening gown
for your son or daughter.
· Save your bridal gown for your daughter, niece, or granddaughter.
Note: Remember to have your gown properly preserved.
· Use your wedding gown to make a small decorative pillow
or two.
· Cut a swatch of material from your bridal gown to use
in a scrapbook or photo album.
· Purchase a special doll or teddy bear and use your bridal
gown to make a doll sized version for it.
· Dye your wedding gown another color to wear to a formal
event.
Reusing Your Bridal Bouquet for sentimental purposes:
· Preserve a portion of your bridal bouquet to place inside
of a scrapbook.
· Preserve your wedding bouquet and display it in your
home using a shadow box.
· Have your wedding bouquet professionally pressed and
rearranged in a picture frame. Hang the frame in your home and
keep as a family heirloom.
The bridal business is a multibillion-dollar industry. The average
cost that couples spend on a wedding is nearly $27,000. Repurposing
your bridal attire makes the money spent well worth it. Creating
tangible memories with your bridal jewelry, gown, and bouquet
holds sentimental value. Whoever said that the bride’s wedding
attire is only for her wedding day?
