Eco Friendly Monday – Wedding Gown Donation

Every little step towards contributing positively to the environment – or enhancing someone else’s life – makes a huge difference.  Just imagine if every couple took one small step.  Magic!

I would say that I’m a relatively sentimental person.  I have my Mom’s Tussie Mussie she carried at my wedding.  My wedding gown is still in a box – in the basement – collecting dust.  However, despite being in a deep dark place – having not seen the light of day in 8 years – I still cannot bring myself to give it away.  Okay, I’m not saying that wedding gown donation is for everyone – but for some, it may be an option.

It’s the gown you wore on one of the most important days of your life.  By donating it, you are giving another Bride an opportunity to have their dream gown – on the most important day of their life.  By not leaving it in your basement, under your bed, or in your garage, you will be helping a multitude of people.  First, you are helping yourself, you are helping another Bride, and most importantly, you will be helping to improve the life of someone else.

Brides Against Breast Cancer

Check out the website for more information about the gown donation program.  The website tells you exactly how to donate one of your most treasured possessions.  Make sure to check the website prior to donating.  Right now, they are not accepting vintage gowns due to an overstock, but that will change.  Brides Against Breast Cancer accepts donations from individuals, manufactures, and dress shops.  Proceeds from each sale goes to granting wishes to families dealing with terminal breast cancer – where there are no cures – only dreams realized.

Happy planning!
