I saw this idea somewhere before, and I think they also made a christening robe/dress out of the wedding gown. This is better than the 'day after pics' I've seen - the bride runs in to the surf in her wedding gown, just about destroying it. A funny - my 4 year old GD was with me in the Thrift Store. They had a rack with many gowns and GD is looking at them and telling me about the beautiful beads and lace! What can we make Grams?!?!?!
