before you use it all up on other things. can you create a small picture of it, using the original fabrics and trims, for framing? that would become the heirloom. then you could attack the rest of the fabric knowing that the style was preserved in it's original fabrics. the baptismal idea is wonderful and i have done that for customers, as well as confirmation dresses. you could also make ring-bearers pillows and put them away for future use. just make sure to label everything with it's history. bouquet wraps and other accessories are all nice ideas. what about the veil? down the line, someone will be sorry.

When I was little, my mom made a beautiful bassinette skirt from her sister-in-law's lacey wedding dress. It went clear to the floor around the bassinette and was the prettiest thing. Maybe you could make one of those, or mini-versions for little girls play bassinettes.
