Wedding Dress Preservation...

My gorgeous dress has been in my closet in the bag for almost 4 months now and I just can't decide if that's the way I want to keep it or if I want to actually pay to have it preserved. I'm just wondering if I should sell it and try to get some of my money back. My daughters love it now, but will either of them really wear it for their weddings? Did any of you married ladies preserve your dress or did you sell it?

I found some great places on-line that offer preservation but they are pricey and I would have to send my dress off to some unknown place and that scares me. So I will take any and all advice on what to do my "third daughter" as I call her.

Notice the missing head, thank my sister for that, lol she is no photographer that's for sure, but nevertheless she got the pics I wanted.

More Dress Ideas

In about 16 days I will be going dress shopping for the first time since I got engaged. In my last dress post I showed you guys a few Maggie Sottero dresses that I loved. This go round I will be showing a few dresses that are more in my budget and I won't have to travel two hours to get to the bridal shop. A few weeks ago at a bridal show here in the valley David's Bridal sponsored a fashion show, and for the first time I got to see just how gorgeous Oleg Cassini wedding gowns really are, which are exclusively sold at David's Bridal. These dresses are very well made and the look so classy and gorgeous! There were four dresses that I absolutely fell in love with and want to try on.


This dress (Style CRL277) is just gorgeous and is my favorite of the four. My only issue is if it would make me look too curvy, because of my "pop bottle" shape.


This dress (Style CT258) is also very pretty and would definately hide my hips with it's A-Line cut. The color is stunning!

I love the lace and sweetheart top on this dress (CT282) and this picture does it no justice it's much better in person.


I am really liking the empire waste on this dress (CU0099), again it would help to hide some of my curves.
