PERSONALIZED HANGERS

Yesterday while running errands in Old Town, Alexandria, I remembered seeing personalized wedding hangers on different blog sites. I like adding personal touches in simple ways to the wedding and this seemed like it would be really cute and relatively inexpensive.

The hangers are made by Lila Frances who can be found on Etsy and they run about $25 (w/o shipping which is $5). The hangers can be made into a shape, like a heart for example.

I emailed her frantically last night because she has an 8-10 week production time line. I explained that I was getting married in 10 days and if there was anyway she could make me one. She was really nice and agreed and told me if I ordered ASAP she could mail it out to me on Wednesday. At 6:20am this morning, I hit send on my paypal account.

The hangers are not recommended for really heavy dresses. I am not sure if my dress is really heavy for a wedding dress. Even though it's a simple design, I think the materials used are weighty and is sure feels heavy me. But then again, I don't wear wedding dresses everyday so it might be an average weight for a wedding dress. But the dress will not be on the hanger for too long, so I'm not really worried. She also does not recommend storing your dress on the hanger either.

I think the dress will look really pretty hanging on this and it'll be something of a keepsake. I know, I can't pass it on.....or maybe I could... to my sons future wife maybe? It could be her something borrowed or something old. Well I have about 30+ years before I have to think of anything like that but in the meantime I am very happy about my last minute decision.
