MADE FOR REMEMBERING – STEP-BY-STEP

One-of-a-kind. Delicate. Timeless. Yours forever

A timeless piece of your love story, lovingly passed from one generation to the next. Gift your daughter a cherished piece of your own wedding day to carry into hers. Handcrafted from the satin, lace, and delicate details of your gown, this heirloom garter becomes her very own “something old”—a beautiful connection between two love stories. Thoughtfully designed around the unique textures and details of your dress, each garter is a one-of-a-kind keepsake filled with memories, meaning, and love.

MAKE IT YOUR OWN

The Details: Each garter is uniquely designed to reflect the fabrics and details of your gown. Because the casing is handcrafted from your gown's satin, it may feel slightly heavier or less flexible than a traditional garter. The garter is created as a sentimental heirloom and especially lovely for wedding photographs, a meaningful moment on the big day, or preservation in a keepsake box.

A NOTE BEFORE WE BEGIN

Every wedding dress is beautifully unique, and each one offers different possibilities. The fabric, lace, beading, construction, and amount of usable material can all influence how your gown can be transformed. Before your heirloom journey begins, our designer will carefully evaluate your dress and its details to determine what can be beautifully created from the gown you hold so dear. For the most beautiful result, we recommend sending your full wedding dress whenever possible. Having the entire gown allows our designer to thoughtfully select from the best lace, fabric, and special details when creating your heirloom.

If the fabric or lace from your gown isn’t well suited to the keepsake you’ve selected, we’ll reach out personally to share the closest available alternatives and help find the best option for your dress. Because every gown is beautifully unique, our designers may also reach out along the way with questions or recommendations to ensure your heirloom is thoughtfully created from the details of your dress.

YOUR KEEPSAKE JOURNEY

From Your Hands to Ours

Ordering & Sending Dress: Once your order is placed, your keepsake journey begins. You’ll receive an email with everything you need to prepare and send your wedding dress to us, including how to pack your gown, what to include, and where to mail it.  Important:  Please keep your tracking number until Old Soul Bridal has confirmed that your dress has safely arrived. While we’ll take great care of your gown once it is in our hands, Old Soul Bridal and our designers cannot be responsible for packages lost or delayed in transit. Should a shipping issue occur, a claim can be opened directly with the carrier using your tracking information.

Your Heirloom Begins: Once your dress arrives and is safely received and logged into our system, we’ll be in touch to let you know it is in our care and we will pass on to our designers to begin the beautiful process of transforming your wedding dress into your one-of-a-kind keepsake. Please allow 4-6 weeks from the time your dress is received for completion.

Your Heirloom Comes Home: When the keepsake is complete and ready to make its way home to you, the designer will carefully package and send. You should receive an email on tracking information so you can follow its journey every step of the way. 

A LEGACY OF LOVE

Remaining Fabric Choice

After your keepsake is complete, you can choose to have any remaining fabric returned to you or donated. Old Soul Bridal creates keepsakes in partnership with The Emma and Evan Foundation. Every purchase helps support their mission. If you choose to donate the remainder, it will be donated to The Emma and Evan Foundation, supporting families and hospitals through bereavement care and NICU milestones.

OUR KEEPSAKE PROMISE

Because your heirloom is thoughtfully handcrafted just for you, all custom sales are final. Your trust means so much to us, and should we ever make an error, we’ll always make it right.
