Framing a Wedding Dress?

I've never seen or heard of that but I love the idea!! If you decide to please post some pictures

I've only seen it on Pinterest and a few stores online. I will, thank you!

I just saw one like this today and it got me thinking... I'm still debating on how to preserve my bouquet as well. One thought- if you're planning on having children, my cousins actually didn't preserve their dresses until they were done having children because they wanted baby girl pics with the dress. Have you looked into how much it costs for the giant wedding dress shadow box?

My mom used silica gel for my bouquet, she just did them individually and bought a smaller shadow box to put around a wedding picture. She did the same thing for one of my friends when she got married and it turned out nice. The white flowers turned a little yellow but not too much.

I guess I would take it out of preservation & put it back in if I wanted those pictures? I'm not sure I would need them, I never had any with my mother's dress. I don't think we plan on trying for children for another year at least, so I just want to have it safe & preserved before then (we are renovating our entire home so anything not safely preserved or put away does NOT stay clean).

I looked at some pricing for the way I want to do it (so folded in half) and the shadow boxes start around $200. But I read it's best to have a glare resistant glass & one that blocks UV rays. I found another that will build the frame you want, and that pricing was $300-$1,000 depending on what you want. I'm not super concerned about UV or sunlight since it would be in our closet (no windows).

My dress & veil are at a dry cleaner and the dry cleaner is doing it by hand so it won't be done for another month so I still have some time to figure it out!

I did mine through the wedding dress preservation company. A lot of bridal salons, seamstresses ,and dry cleaners in my area partner with them. I took my dress to the bridal salon and they sent it in.

Here is the link! https://www.weddinggownpreservationkit.com. I think it was $250, and it is beautiful, but there weren't any customization options and it is in a heavy duty cardboard box with a window to see it, so we couldn't hang it or anything.

Me too! I'm still looking into it!

That makes sense! I'm looking more for a frame to hang (like a shadow box) but I just want to make sure putting it in the frame after it's cleaned will be enough for the preservation aspect!

I am looking to frame my dress as well. could anyone/someone send links of where you are ordering from?

I haven't found any national companies yet, but several local framing companies have said they will do it!
