After the Wedding: What to do with the wedding dress?

Brides against breast cancer can donate their wedding dresses after the wedding to help a wonderful cause. The organization accepts donated wedding dresses then sells the wedding gowns to brides at savings over retail prices and the funds go towards making wishes come true for breast cancer patients.

Another organization that accepts wedding dresses is the I Do Foundation. This organization sells the dresses through consignment and donates 20% of the proceeds from the sale of your wedding gown to the charity of your choice. The remaining funds are used to support the I Do Foundation's ongoing work to encourage charitable concious weddings. Another bonus, is that you might even be able to receive a tax deduction on the value of your wedding dress donation.
