Tips for Finding The Perfect Wedding Dress Hanger
- While many bridal hangers on offer are beautiful to look at, do keep in mind that they also have to be functional, so it’s best to always choose a sturdy style that can support the weight of your wedding dress. Classic wooden hangers, vintage-style padded hangers, and styles with fabrics that have some grip like cotton or velvet are all great practical options for heavier wedding gowns
- If you can’t find a hanger you like, you can purchase your own wooden hangers from stores such as IKEA, Penneys or JYSK and add a custom decal from Etsy. You could also commission a calligrapher to design your own bespoke version, or to customise tags for hangers for each of your girls.
