Donate Your Dress

What did you you with your dress after the wedding? If you're not married yet, what are you planning to do? 

I did an informal poll on Facebook last week and found that most of my friend's dresses (and mine!) are taking up space in their closets. 

Have you ever thought about donating your wedding dress? 

Brides Against Breast Cancer is one worthy cause, give them your dress after you're done with it, they'll sell to a new bride and the proceeds go to support breast cancer programs.

Another great option, donate your dress to Brides Across America and they'll give it to a deserving military bride who couldn't otherwise afford to buy one.

You want to keep your wedding dress but maybe you have a bridesmaid dress you want to part with? 

The Green Bride Guide has a list of options for local shops across the country accepting bridesmaid dresses.

If you're in the Seattle area, The Ruby Room is looking for formal gowns for high school girls in the Seattle area. They are looking for jewelry and shoes too!
