Wedding dresses can be transformed into a variety of keepsakes, including bridal bags, ring bearer pillows, bouquet wraps, handkerchiefs, scrunchies, and other meaningful pieces. You can choose from our existing heirloom designs or contact us about creating something custom.

Not at all. Our heirloom collection is growing with pre-designed options, but we also welcome custom projects. If you have something different in mind, contact us with your ideas and photos of your sentimental piece. We’ll work with you directly to explore what we can create.
-
Yes! Whenever possible, we love incorporating original details such as lace, appliqués, embroidery, buttons, or other special elements into the finished keepsake. Placement and availability will depend on the construction and condition of your dress.
-
The amount of fabric needed depends on what you would like us to create. Some smaller keepsakes require very little material, while bags, pillows, or multiple items may require more. If you're unsure whether you have enough fabric, send us photos and details about your project before ordering.
-
Not necessarily. You can pre-cut the portions we will need. This depends on the keepsake you're ordering and the fabric or details you'd like incorporated. We can help determine what portion of the dress is needed for your project before you ship it to us.
-
If we're repurposing material from the dress, some cutting will usually be necessary. We understand that these garments are incredibly meaningful, so we handle every piece with care and use only the material needed for your project. We recommend discussing any areas of the dress you would specifically like preserved before work begins.
-
Yes, depending on the amount and type of usable material available. One dress may be able to become several keepsakes for a bride, siblings, children, grandchildren, or other family members. Contact us if you're considering multiple pieces, and we can help plan the best use of the available fabric.
-
Yes. Depending on the design, personalization may include monograms, names, wedding dates, meaningful messages, or other embroidered details. Available personalization options will vary by product and project.
-
Absolutely. Heirlooms don't have to come from wedding gowns. We can work with many sentimental textiles, including baby clothing, christening gowns, special garments, and other meaningful fabrics. If you're unsure whether your item will work for a particular project, contact us and we'll be happy to take a look.

Because heirloom pieces are individually made and can vary significantly in complexity, turnaround times may differ from our standard personalized products. Your estimated timeline will depend on the project and our current workload. If you need your keepsake by a specific date, please contact us before ordering.

Once your project is confirmed, we'll provide instructions for sending your material to us. Because sentimental items can be irreplaceable, we strongly recommend using a trackable shipping service and carefully packaging your item for transit.
