20 Reasons Not to Trash the Dress

Ladies, it is your prerogative to destroy anything you own, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else. That being said, I think it's a stupid idea. See my full meditation here.

Things you can do with your wedding dress besides trashing it:

1. Do a fearless bridal that won't totally trash it instead 
   
2. Save it for a group friend photo
   
    
3. Save it in a frame
   
4. Save it for your daughter (at least a piece of it)

   

   Even if the style is too old-fashioned for her, she can still carry a piece.
5. Save it for your 10-year anniversary, where you can accessorize it with aluminum jewelry (apparently it used to be valuable)

7. Resell it
8. Donate it
9. Rent it out to other brides
10. Rent it out to people who need full-length white dresses

    

    See your dress on stage

11. Better yet, lend it out (it will make you happier)
12. Make stuff out of it
    
13. Dye it and wear it
    
14. Shorten it and wear it
    
15. Convert it and wear it (especially if the dress had a nice bodice)

    

    Lingerie or daring top?

16. Wear it when you're feeling sassy

    

    Dance when nobody's watching

17. Wear it when you're feeling down

    

    Remember this?

18. Wear it for Halloween
    
19. Wear it to the Brides of March

    

    Be truly daring, and wear it while shopping and drinking about town
20. Wear it out to a different Starbucks every week for free coffee

    

    Who's to say you're not getting married that day? You're wearing a wedding dress, aren't you?
