My daughter was married last year and wanted to use my dress. We thought of altering but since I got married in the 70's it wasn't a very fancy dress. Her wedding was shabby chic themed and this was her idea and I thought it was great!!! She also took and old shutter and we put pics of her Grandparents, Parents and other family pics. I will post more pics soon from this wedding because she had many great ideas. I felt very honored that my daughter chose to display my dress in such a unique way.
