recycle your dress
While it might pain you to say goodbye to the gown you pledged your love in, it’s just a dress. To give it new life, consider donating to New York’s own luxury boutique, the Bridal Garden, where brides can give back their gowns or purchase their own (heavily-discounted dress), all while helping educate underprivileged children (proceeds go to Brooklyn Charter School). If you’re not close to the city, you can think about sharing your wedding dress “with a non-profit such as The Brides Project,” says Dana Briggs of Revel Event Design Group. And don’t forget to have your bridesmaids pair their dress with TOMS, which will help give a pair of shoes to children in need. Photo from: @brides_for_a_cause
