Making Your Wedding Dress a Part of Your Forever Story


At Manley Bride, we always hope our brides find a way to keep rocking their wedding dress long after the big day has passed. Whether it’s donning it each year for your anniversary like I do, turning it into a fab date night outfit by shortening the skirt, or even repurposing it into a christening gown, we’re all about keeping those memories alive and letting your dress continue to tell its story.

We’re used to seeing our brides come back to us with ideas for turning their wedding outfits into gorgeous christening gowns. It’s a tradition that’s both heartfelt and sustainable and we love it. But recently, we took on a unique challenge!

Megan approached us with just a wedding a veil and one that wasn’t originally ours, but she admired our previous christening gowns and wanted us to work some magic for her daughter, Celeste. What she wanted was her veil turned into a christening gown and bonnet. We dove into the project with enthusiasm, and we’re thrilled with the enchanting results!

Got a wedding veil or dress you’re thinking of turning into a christening gown or something else special? Drop us a line and let’s chat about how we can help turn your ideas into reality!
