What Are You Doing With Your Dress After The Wedding?

Gorgeous!!!

My ensemble includes a cream lace knee length sheath dress, and a sheer "coat" over it, which can be worn again. I'm not sure I'd wear the coat over it but it was originally bought and can be worn over a different lace dress, especially for our anniversaries or a summer wedding. I have a lightweight pashmina shawl I can wear over the dress. The shoes are pointy toe d'Orsay flats that I bought last Easter and wore once, and they happened to match the dress perfectly, but can be worn with just about anything. I'd bought a pair of gold metallic ballet flats that would look great with the dress on another occasion. The headpiece is a small bow with a small "birdcage" veil on it - I doubt I'd wear it again unless some bride needs a bridesmaid in a hurry and doesn't mind me wearing a cream colored dress. Which is doubtful as I am 71 and all my friends are long married, lol!

View Quoted Comment I don't blame you for not wanting to mail it in - I'd be nervous about the dress getting lost in the mail! Awesome that you've worn your wedding jewelry even after the wedding - I also frequently wear the jewelry from my wedding.

View Quoted Comment Ooh, I love that you will be able to wear so many pieces from your wedding day attire again! I wear my wedding jewelry often, and it still makes me smile and remember my wedding when I put the jewelry on.

Thanks! How nice that you still wear your wedding jewelry - what pieces do you still wear? I'm wearing special jewelry that I already have: a short genuine pearl necklace that hubby gave me last Christmas, with a small diamond and gold cross that was Mom's, on a gold chain that was her Mom's. And, if it doesn't pull at the lace, a small gold tone bracelet watch with tiny diamonds around the bezel - it's a good watch (I forget the brand) and belonged to my MIL. The earrings are gold and tiny diamond pearl drop earrings that I bought for myself years ago, and a pearl bracelet with a gold clasp - again if it doesn't catch on the lace of the sleeves.

Did you wear it out to a restaurant for a 1st anniversary dinner? That could be fun.

I think I will do that, next June 4, the date of our church wedding this year! I have other accessories I can wear it with - different shoes & purse, a matching shawl.
