Hard Time Parting with Wedding Items

Hi Allissa! So glad I’m not the only one with wedding stuff! I’m keeping my dress and veil and a few other sentimental items. How did you sell your things? I’ve never sold anything on the internet before so I am at a loss on how to start.

I kept the dress, veil, shoes, and the earrings I wore as those belonged to my grandmother. My mom works as a jewelery wholesaler, so I borrowed my necklace and bracelet lol. We left for the honeymoon 2 days after the wedding, so I didn't have enough time to even think about what to do with bouquet (real flowers) so I took a lot of pictures on my phone (along with the professional ones) and then threw it out.

View Quoted Comment I sold my card box and a few things on Facebook marketplace.

I kept the dress and sandals.

View Quoted Comment Sweet and simple 🤍

View Quoted Comment Yes! 😊
So, I recently figured out Facebook marketplace and listed items on there...! Other than that, not sure how to sell. 🤍

View Quoted Comment How nice!!! 🤍 Definitely worth keeping your grandmother’s items!

I plan to keep my dress, shoes, and jewelry. Everything else decorative will probably be rentals. With real flowers donated to a funeral home afterward.


You can sell items on Craigslist in your area and OfferUp/Letgo apps.

I already have plans to buy a glass cabinet to display my dress and everything from the wedding 🤣


I am no hoarder, but I have a box full of my 3 kids “baby’s 1st items” 🤪

View Quoted Comment Awesome! Thanks 🤍

View Quoted Comment Love it!!! 😆🤍

Doing the same thing! I'm keeping all my sentimental items from our wedding similar to you, dress, veil (my grandmother's), my jewelry, shoes, husband's boutonniere, our invitations, etc... And then selling all the decor items on Facebook Marketplace.

I kept some stuff but like you said it’s not like we would use it anymore aha I don’t even know where the belt to my wedding dress is haha

View Quoted Comment Oh my gosh haha! 🤍

We've kept a lot of stuff, though not for lack of trying to get rid of things.
I had offered the fake flowers and some other types of supplies to both theatres and people associated with schools, and never heard back... and now everything is shut down.

Beginning to wonder if I shouldn't just pop some stuff in a box and label it "free" and put it outside!

On addition to my dress and shoes I am having my bouquet preserved.

View Quoted Comment That’s great!! 🤍

View Quoted Comment Never thought about donating the bouquet to those places! Good idea...

We kept one of the lanterns we used for decor, as well as the silk flowers, my bouquet, and our glasses. The other lanterns we gave away. I am going to give my dress to any bride affected by the fires in my area so she still has a dress and won't have to spend more money. No leads yet, but that's the plan.

View Quoted Comment I love that!!! 🤍
