I have a good friend who took her wedding dress and made a Christening outfit which was worn by all her kids. She also made a wedding ring pillow which has been used in the weddings of her children, and added a blue ribbon to the garter she has made for her daughters and DILs. Her grandchildren have also worn the Christening outfit and will likely wear the garter and use the pillow in their own weddings.
I thought that was a fabulous way to keep her wedding dress in the family.
