Bride Lindsay Maxey Snow, pictured below, transformed the lace from her mother and grandmother’s dresses into bouquet wraps and a cathedral length veil before her big day. She shares, "My granny was my best friend my whole life and the hardest part about [wedding planning] has been not having her here with me. I felt like I was wrapped in my Granny's hug with my veil around my shoulders and the bouquet wrap in my hands."

Grace Lightner, CEO of Unbox the Dress says, “Modern brides have seen that the traditional, giant preservation chest from the dry cleaner doesn’t make sense, and actually doesn’t prevent invisible staining.
