You've indulged in HOURS of dreaming, invested HUNDREDS and THOUSANDS of dollars, and used countless minutes to DIY fun projects for your big day. Yet, within just a few hours, the day is done, the food is eaten, the dress is packaged away in a box, and your memories will be limited to a photo album - or will they? With a little bit of forward thinking, you can preserve many aspects of your big day to decorate your home and keep the memory alive. Here are a few top picks from
the Historic Pinecrest for preserving everything from your wedding dress to your bridal bouquet and everything in between!
Wedding Dress
If you go to Pinterest, there will be hundreds of ideas for ways to preserve your wedding dress. From Packaging it into a box to putting it in a giant frame to making jewelry from pieces of the fabric. The possibilities are endless, and depending on how far you want to go with it, the sky is the limit. Saving your dress for your daughter may be an older custom, but that doesn't mean you can do photos of it with her, or use pieces of it to make jewelry to give your daughters as a keepsake. Here are a few beautiful ways to preserve your dress after the wedding.

Invitations and Print Materials
Shadow boxes and photo albums are a great way to save the invitations, menus, programs and other print materials that come from your wedding day. It's better to save one piece in a beautiful arrangement rather than save ALL of the pieces in a stack in the closet. Check out these fun compilations to use for your own ideas!
Bouquet and Floral Arrangements
With a little bit of planning, you can preserve your wedding bouquet in a beautiful and sentimental way. From adding them to ornaments to drying them and keeping them the same, you can keep this beautiful treasure forever.
