Wedding Gown Cleaning & Preservation

The Art of Wedding Dress Cleaning & Preservation Your wedding dress is more than just a garment; it’s a cherished memory. Proper cleaning and preservation are crucial to ensure it remains a beautiful keepsake for years to come. Why Professional Cleaning is Essential Even if your dress looks pristine after the wedding day, it likely has unseen marks from lotions, perfumes, makeup, and perspiration. Spills from food or drinks, especially champagne or wine, can also oxidize and turn into stubborn brown stains over time if not treated promptly. Professional cleaning uses specialized techniques and solvents that are safe for delicate fabrics, intricate embellishments, and various types of stains, far beyond what regular dry cleaning can achieve. Storing Your Preserved Gown Once preserved, store your wedding dress in a cool, dark, and dry place. Avoid attics, basements, or garages, where temperature and humidity fluctuations can harm the fabric. A climate-controlled closet is ideal. While preserved, it’s a good idea to inspect your dress every few years (without touching the fabric directly) to ensure it’s maintaining its pristine condition. By investing in professional cleaning and preservation, you’re not just storing a dress; you’re safeguarding a precious memory for generations to come.
