Wedding dresses, wedding dresses, wedding dresses! Sometimes the search can take months. Then you find the perfect dress?it’s got the detail and neckline you so desperately wanted. So you buy it. You spend hundreds or thousands for that one beautiful moment when you walk down the aisle and everyone oohs and ahhs. Then suddenly, your moment is gone! The dress has served its purpose. So what do you do with it? There are many answers to this question. Some keep it for future generations or for the memories. Others may decide to get some of their investment back and sell it. Some even trash the dress with paint or roll in the mud with it on (I’m not kidding). But if you do decide to sell your wedding dress, here are some things you might want to know about the process.

You Won’t Get all Your Money Back

Some keep their dresses because they want their future children to wear it if they so choose, and some just want to put it on occasionally and dance around in it. Whatever the reason, you might end up deciding to keep the dress. Give the decision a few weeks and at the end of those weeks if you still are sure you’re fine with letting it go, then go ahead and list it!

Selling your wedding dress is big. Sometimes the money you gain from selling it is even bigger! You may use it to fund part of your honeymoon or start the process of buying a new house. Whatever your reasoning, take comfort in the fact that somewhere out there, someone is marrying the love of their life and adding more beautiful memories to your dress.
