{Decadent Details} Reimagine & Rewear your Wedding Gown

One gown, one day. That’s the agony every girl goes through when she spends upwards of tens of thousands of dollars on her absolute dream gown … only to wear it for a few hours on that fateful day before sending it to collect dust in her closet for all eternity.

Jewelry designer Monique Péan did what every girl wishes she could do … she wore her J.Mendel wedding gown not once, not twice, but three times … proof that upcycling, redesigning and reimaging your gown can keep it close to your heart.

Transform your gown by hemming the train, adding sleeves or making it strapless, embellishing the waistline or adding delicate beadwork … or if you are really brave …. have it dyed or hand-painted. Each time you wear it, make a new alteration! Your wedding gown is a significant financial and emotional investment – why not wear it more than once? You deserve to! And, for a nostalgic event, rewear your wedding gown on your one year anniversary!
