Design Note: Before we begin creating your keepsake, you’ll receive an email with photos of up to three proposed layouts, thoughtfully arranged to highlight the unique beauty of your gown. Once you’ve selected and approved your preferred design by email, we’ll begin bringing your one-of-a-kind keepsake to life.
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.

Reviews
My favorite parts of the gown are transformed into a beautiful work of art.
Its a reminder of it's legacy of love--beginning with my parents gift to me and now it passes on to comfort other families. The loving energy of all that touched this gown throughout the process will envelope all the precious ones who receive it.
Having this legacy shadowbox means far more to me than seeing the dress hang in a closet without reaching its full potential.
This shadowbox is such a beautiful keepsake! From start to finish, the ordering process was flawless. I received an email when they received my gown and then a few emails with updates on the status of the shadowbox. And then finally an email with two options for my shadowbox. I love the final outcome. I definitely recommend Old Soul Bridal for the keepsake and Evan & Emma Foundation for donation of my gown.
I can’t say enough good things about how beautiful the finally product was and the wonderful customer service. Checked in every step of the way and gave clear easy instructions to follow to get the process started. And I decided to donate the remaining of my dress to a wonderful cause which makes the experience 100% more beautiful. Old Soul Bridal will be getting every referral possible from me.
I couldn’t be happier with my shadow box. It captures the essence of my wedding dress and will help me remember our special day every time I look at it. I’m grateful for the opportunity to have this wonderful keepsake while donating the rest to the Emma & Evan Foundation.
Very pleased!! This shadowbox beautifully preserves my favorite pieces of my gown! It hangs on a wall where I can view it, instead of taking up a lot of space in a closet. The entire process went smoothly from start to finish. I received an email when the gown was received and communication updates along the way, including a choice of layouts. End result is beautiful!! Remaining gown was donated. Very grateful to Old Soul for their work and mission! Definitely recommend for gown keepsakes!
