Hi, I’m Giselle 👋
Firstly, congratulations on your engagement — an incredibly special time in your lives. Whether you’re planning or just starting out, I’m so happy you’ve found us.
I’m the founder of Empty Box, and my passion is helping you protect one of the most meaningful keepsakes from your wedding day — your dress.
Your wedding gown isn’t just fabric and stitching. It’s the dress you said “yes” in. The one you walked down the aisle in. The one you laughed, cried, hugged and danced in. It carries memories that deserve to be preserved with care.
I created Empty Box because I realised that so many beautiful gowns were being stored in plastic garment bags, lofts, spare rooms or wardrobes without proper protection. Over time, this can lead to yellowing, spotting, fabric breakdown and damage to delicate lace, beading and embroidery. After all the love and investment that goes into choosing the perfect dress, it simply deserves better.
At Empty Box, we design & handmake luxury wedding dress storage boxes made using high-quality, acid free materials. This is so important because it helps protect delicate fabrics from deterioration and discolouration over time. Our boxes are strong, breathable and carefully designed to give your gown the preservation it needs, and we have 38 years experience to know how to do this correctly.
Wedding dresses come in all shapes and sizes — from sleek, minimalist designs to dramatic ballgowns with long trains and layers of tulle. We have sizes of boxes to accommodate all styles, ensuring your dress can be stored safely without being crushed or stressed.
See our photographs to help choose the size for your dress. If you’re unsure which size is right, message me as I’m always happy to offer guidance. I understand how important this is — and I treat every enquiry with the care it deserves.
We also offer beautiful Wedding Dress Travel Boxes for those taking their wedding dress to a destination wedding. These boxes allow you to keep your dress with you as hand luggage, ensuring it's safe and protected, & not lost in the hold. After the big day, you can store your wedding dress perfectly in your Travel Box!
Some brides plan ahead and order their box before the big day, knowing they want everything ready for afterwards. Others come to us shortly after the wedding when they’re thinking about cleaning and preserving their gown. And some reach out years later, realising they’d like to protect their dress properly for the future.
Whatever stage you’re at, you are so welcome here.
Many brides tell me they’re keeping their dress to preserve it as a memory of one of the happiest days of their lives. Some hope to pass it down to a future daughter or family member. Even if you hope to sell it, your dress will be at its best if kept perfectly in one of our boxes.
Running Empty Box is incredibly special because I get to play a small part in your story — not just on your wedding day, but long after the confetti has settled and the flowers have faded.
If you’re looking for a safe, elegant and thoughtful way to protect your wedding dress for years to come, I would be honoured to help.

Hi, I’m Giselle 👋 Firstly, congratulations on your engagement — and if you’re reading this after your big day, congratulations on becoming newlyweds! At Empty Box, we specialise in beautifully crafted wedding dress storage boxes designed to protect and preserve your gown long after the celebrations are over. Your wedding dress isn’t just a dress — it holds memories, emotion, and one of the most meaningful days of your life. It deserves to be cared for properly. I started Empty Box because I truly believe your gown should be stored safely, elegantly and with the same attention it received on your wedding day. Too often dresses are left in plastic covers or unsuitable packaging, which can lead to damage, yellowing or fabric deterioration over time. Our boxes are designed specifically to help prevent that. Each of our wedding dress boxes is carefully made using high-quality, acid-free materials to help protect delicate fabrics, lace, beading and embellishments. They’re strong, supportive and spacious enough to accommodate a variety of dress styles — from sleek silhouettes to full, layered gowns with long trains. We also understand that presentation matters. Our boxes aren’t just practical — they’re beautiful. Designed to look elegant in your home, they allow you to store your dress safely while still feeling proud to keep it as a treasured keepsake. Whether you’re planning ahead for after your wedding, preserving your gown as a lifelong memento, or even saving it for a future daughter or loved one, we’re here to help you protect it properly. It’s such an honour to play a small part in your wedding journey — not just for the day itself, but for the years that follow. If you’d like advice on choosing the right size box or how best to store your gown, I’m always happy to help.
