What Are You Going to Do With The Wedding Dress
Once the wedding is sometime in the past and you still have the great memories you will start to wonder what to do with your wedding jewelry and the wedding dress that is taking up a lot of needed space. You’ll probably never wear the dress again and you may never wear your bridal jewelry again, so what do you do with it?At some time after the wedding you will be wondering about this because of the space that these things take up. It’s not that you don’t love your bridal jewelry and dress; it’s just that it can no longer serve a purpose. What once seemed like such a big deal is now just taking up space.Every bride ends up going through the same thing!
Not sure what to do with your bridal jewelry and dress? If you don’t want to keep it for sentimental reasons you could always sell it.Though you might not be able to even get half of what it cost ,you could use the money to eliminate the bills from the wedding with what you receive from it. To some women they think this is silly or just plain wrong, but for other women that do not form attachments to material things, selling their wedding dress and jewelry seems perfectly acceptable. You need to decide for yourself if you are comfortable selling these things as they are an important part of your history.
If you know that you don’t want to sell your bridal jewelry and dress there is still another option: store it. Storing your wedding jewelry really won’t be difficult as you can just put the things back in the boxes that they came in and put them in a drawer or safety deposit box for safe keeping. While your wedding jewelry won’t take up much room, your wedding dress is another story.
Luckily, many bridal shops offer cleaning and storage services that will allow you to bring home your dress in a box and store it in a closet, under the bed, or wherever else is convenient for you.Preserving your wedding gown means that you will be able to have it later for sentimental thoughts amd maybe give the dress to your daughter or a special friend for use in the future.Take plenty of time to think and rethink you choices because it is important to realize that they are gone forever if you make the decision to sell them!

Why do women insist on buying there wedding gowns as opposed to renting them?
I can't for the life of my understand why women choose to pay so much for a dress that they can only wear for a day. As grooms we men rent our tuxedos for a day, turn it in and that's it. Hundreds of dollars saved. Women pay thousands of dollars in most cases for wedding gowns, wear it for a day and store in a closet where it's long forgotten, thousands wasted. What gives ladies? Why not just rent a gown for the day for $100 bucks or so, and put the thousands you save in a college fund for your kids or something more useful? And please spare me the sentimental crap because over 60% of all marriages end in divorce.
Editorial note: Sorry for misspelling their.
Sorry like the others have said there are not tons of places that will rent wedding gowns. Even if there were just because I wear size x doesn't mean it will fit me like it will fit a friend so some alterations of the dress typically have to be made. Beyond that I guess it depends on the bride and groom. My boyfriend refuses to rent a tuxedo. It could be because he's tall as hell and rather muscular but he's buying tuxedos for everyone and they will all be tailored to the groomsmen.
Actually your divorce statistics are wrong. Having done my dissertation on divorce research even the number that is commonly tossed around of 1 in 2 marriages ending in divorce is wrong. Not that 1 in 3 is all that much more awe inspiring but that's what it is.

Gravity exerts pressure that can stretch or tear the fibers of hung textiles over time. Storing your wedding dress on a hanger for a long period of time is not recommended. Laying the gown flat or storing it in a rolled or folded position is preferable to hanging it. If you plan to hang your gown for any length of time, you should pad the hangers with cotton batting covered with unbleached cotton. These materials are commonly found at craft and quilting supply stores.
If you decide to store your gown in a folded position, remove it from storage a couple of times a year and fold it along different lines. Pieces that have been folded on the same lines for a long period of time will eventually develop stress tears along the folds.
For items that will be stored in a folded position for a long period of time, acid free tissue paper (non colored) or clean piece of cloth should be placed between the folds. If you plan to hang your linens for any length of time.
Use an acid-free muslin bag if you plan to hang it. -- Never use vinyl or plastic bags
Do not store your wedding dress in a cedar (or any other type of wood) chest without protective coverings between the wood and the fabric. All wood contains acid that will, over a period of time, make an impossible-to-remove brownish stain on any fabric it has direct contact with. A gown stored in direct contact with wood will eventually be weakened and destroyed by the acid in the wood. All wood products, including cardboard and regular paper, also have acid that causes fiber deterioration. This problem can be remedied by wrapping your wedding dress in acid-free tissue paper or storing it in an acid-free box. Typical stationery stores don't carry acid-free materials. These are most often found in archival supply stores.
Your wedding gown needs air to circulate through the fibers or it will eventually start to rot. For this reason, you should not wrap your gown in plastic for a long period of time. Also, the static in plastic acts as a magnet pulling dust from the air right into your gown if the plastic covering is unsealed. True, sealed plastic covers keep out dirt and grime, but they also prevent needed air from circulating through the fibers. Furthermore, if the piece is even slightly damp when placed in a plastic bag, mold will soon start to form. Also, some plastics produce textile-destroying hydrochloric acid when in contact with moisture for long periods of time.
Extreme changes in temperature are harmful to your wedding gown. Ideal temperatures for long-term storage are between 65 and 75 degrees Fahrenheit. Unheated attics and basements are undesirable storage places. Small rooms or closets with space heaters should also be avoided.
Humidity Sensitivity
Too little or too much humidity can also damage your wedding dress. Humidity levels between 45 and 55 percent are recommended. Avoid storing textiles in bathroom closets or laundry rooms where humidity often rises above acceptable levels. During dry winters, you might consider using a humidifier to maintain acceptable levels of humidity.
Fight Ultraviolet Light
Frequent or constant exposure to ultraviolet light, such as sunshine or fluorescent lights, will eventually cause your wedding dress to disintegrate. Always store the gown in a dark place.
