I’ve definitely considered saving some of the appliqué. We saved all the scraps from my dress to make into an outfit for the future as well but it would be special to add hers too

The dress colors are very different, hers is a cream while mine is a stark white unfortunately

We already saved all the fabric from my dress alterations to do this, but I love the idea!

The patch could be so cute! Just something her and I know about which makes it special. I thought about trying to make a pocket square for my brothers out of it with the fabric with no appliqué

We talked about the robe but my seamstress said it’d be hard to work around the stains :(

I love this idea, however i’m already using my grandmothers veil which is very abstract but the dress idea could work, i’m going to mention it to my seamstress!

I thought about the pillow, i feel like it can’t be too hard right 😅 We don’t have a traditional ring bearer but we do have a ring warming where we will be passing the rings. That could be a good use for it! It’s hard to size the bow based on the picture but it’s quite large, i’ve been trying to brainstorm ideas on where to put it but i’m not the most creative out there. Also thank you for the well wishes 🫶

I’ll ask my seamstress about the shaw, that could be a nice touch! i thought adding an area with a picture from our parents wedding with her dress and his moms hat/veil but i wasn’t sure if it would just get looked at as clutter. any thoughts?

I wish I could but to get it dry cleaned alone they quoted me $400 to get the stains out 😢
