How do i donate a wedding gown in st. louis?
It's interesting:"To both sets of parents * To the bride groom * For being chosen as best man. Congratulatory remarks about the wedding. Beautiful bride * Wonderful occasion ..."
After your wedding gown has served its purpose on your big day, mission-minded non-profit organizations may give you a reason not to store the dress in a dark closet for years to come. If you feel like donating your dress to a good cause in St. Louis, you have several options for paying it forward.
