What should I do with my gown after the wedding? Many brides struggle with that question. Since most brides prefer to treasure the memories of their wedding day by keeping their wedding dress, it is important to understand the proper methods of cleaning and storing your gown so it can last for centuries to come.
Why Wedding Gown Preservation?
It is important to understand the difference between dry cleaning and gown preservation. Dry cleaning provides a basic cleaning of obvious dirt and stains. However, it does not protect against the long term yellowing, fabric deterioration, or invisible stains that can surface over time and ruin your gown. It is important to find a highly reputable and experienced preservation service that will carefully examine each gown individually under special lighting and hand treat all stains with gentle yet effective chemicals. They should also treat the fabric against yellowing and other discolorations with an anti-sugar treatment. Proper cleaning and preservation will permanently remove both visible and invisible stains, as well as protect the fabric from deterioration. Once preserved, your gown will look just as beautiful as the day you first tried it on.
