How To Keep Your Wedding Dress Looking Beautiful
Did you know wedding dress preservation should be included in your wedding budget? Whether you choose a designer wedding dress or your grandmother’s, they deserve the greatest care. Wedding dress preservation, according to the wedding publication Brides, is “a series of special cleaning and packaging techniques to ensure the style will retain its quality over time.”
When you want to keep your wedding dress beautiful, contact someone for a treatment plan based on the dress details, stitching and fabrics, as well as the stains it might have accumulated during the wonderful time you had at your wedding. Besides contacting the right people, what else should you do for the best wedding dress preservation?
Check If The Fabric Can Be Washed Or Dry Cleaned
If your wedding dress is bespoke, ask the designer about cleaning instructions at one of your fittings. A purchased dress should have a label, but wedding dress fabrics generally require dry cleaning, especially silks.
Keep Your Dress Away From Light
The wedding dress should be stored in a cool, dark space as light will turn light-colored fabrics yellow. If you got married in a darker color, light will cause it to fade.
Hang It Properly
Ideally, you should not hang a wedding dress as the neckline and dress length will be pulled and distorted. Rather have a professional company such as Hometown Cleaners place it in a preservation box for you.
Use A Garment Bag
If you do choose to hang your wedding dress, use a well-padded hanger, and put the dress in a cotton or acid-free plastic garment bag. Never use a regular zip-up bag as it retains moisture and will damage your dress.
Dry Clean It
