MADE FOR REMEMBERING – STEP-BY-STEP
One-of-a-kind. Delicate. Timeless. Yours forever
A quiet piece of your wedding day, crafted to be carried close. Choose a keepsake pocket square for the groom, father, or groomsmen—or a tender heirloom hankie for wedding day tears, meaningful gifts, and future celebrations. Each one is handmade from your gown’s fabric and details, stitched with care, and meant to be held onto for years.
MAKE IT YOURS
The Details: Lovingly handcrafted from your wedding gown, each piece is shaped by the unique fabric, lace, and details of your dress. Because every gown is different, finished sizing may vary slightly. To ensure the beautifully tailored finish and quality craftsmanship your heirloom deserves, we do not currently offer ruffled edges.
Style & Size: Choose the heirloom that best suits you. Pocket Square: Approximately 10–14" square, depending on the weight and structure of your gown’s fabric. Handkerchief: Approximately 10–12" square
Add-On Embroidery ($45): Make your heirloom even more personal with a meaningful stitched detail—initials, a wedding date, or a short name or sentiment such as Dad, Love, or Forever. Choose your preferred font and placement to create a finishing touch that is uniquely yours.
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.

Reviews
The hankie that Old Soul made from my dress is simply gorgeous! I wanted a way to keep a piece of my dress in the hopes to give a future daughter in law something “old” when she marries my son. This is the perfect tribute! I life that Old Soul includes a hand written note from the employee who made the keepsake adding a personal touch!
Our grandson will someday carry this special piece in his wedding day as a memory to the mother who died when he was five. He doesn’t have many memories of her but her legacy lives on through him. This will be a special connection to bridge his past to his future. Thank you for making this beautiful memento as well as the bouquet holder and locket for his “someday” bride”
So happy I found old soul bridal to create a timeless keepsake of my wedding day and knowing that I’m donating my dress for a good cause. Linda made a beautifully stitched handkerchief and the hand written note was an extra special touch.
Mom's gown was ultra simple but a beautiful satin. You took the satin and created hankies with exceptional embroidery and used the only decorative detail, satin covered buttons, to make a beautiful memory. Thank you. Also, thank you for the locket. Another creation to remind me of my parents live.
My husband and I got married over 20 years ago and I knew my son wouldn’t be using my wedding dress. Old Soul Bridal made a few pieces for me and they were all amazing, including this keepsake square which I loaned to a friend for her wedding as her something old. Old Soul Bridal does amazing work.
