Wedding Memorabilia: Clutter-free Ways to Handle Your Wedding Dress, Flowers & More! by Bonnie Hillman Shay

Sentimental clutter is most difficult to cope with in later years. Here are some ideas for saving your wedding memories without the clutter. 

• Instead of boxing up souvenirs that take up space, take beautiful pictures of your wedding paraphernalia, then set it free.  
• Arrange for an organization like Random Acts of Flowers to pick up your wedding flowers after the celebration. They will distribute them to individuals who are hospitalized or reside in a nursing home, spreading joy to many recipients. 
• Since dress styles change radically, it is unlikely you will pass down your wedding dress. Consider donating your dress while it is still current to a charity like Wish Upon a Wedding or Brides Across America. There are several. You can choose a charity that speaks to your heart.

Your clutter-free house will thank you.
