Making the Decision About Preserving Your Wedding Gown
Many brides like to treasure the memories of their wedding day by keeping their wedding dress as a memento. Since new stains are not always visible to your eye you should I have your gown cleaned even if it looks clean.
Common stains include sugar stains from cake icing, wine, champagne or even carbonated soft drinks. Perspiration, deodorant, hairspray, perfumes, body lotions and cosmetics can also cause stains and discoloration.
The dry cleaning process provides basic cleaning of obvious dirt and stains. It does not protect against the long term yellowing, fabric deterioration, or the invisible stains that can surface over time and ruin your wedding gown.
Proper cleaning and preservation will permanently remove both the visible and invisible stains. The process will protect the fabric from deterioration, so your gown will look just as beautiful as the day of your wedding.
If you are one of the brides who has gotten busy with your new life and forget about the proper care of tyour gown - especially if you are undecided, the best decision is to have your wedding gown professionally cleaned and preserved as soon as possible.
Quality wedding dress preservation by a reputable company doesn't have to be expensive. Find an authorized dealer for The Wedding Gown Preservation Company (in business since 1913 specializing in wedding gowns) and offers packages starting at $169. Most dry cleaners will charge that much, if not more, for just basic dry cleaning alone.
Hanging your gown is not recommended because it can cause stress to the fabric and create distortion in the shoulders or hanging straps area. Since most wedding dress preservation companies will take special care in placing your gown on a bust form and place tissue in the gown to hold its shape, as well as pins to hold the gown in place, most people prefer to leave the gown in place unless they are selling, reusing or donating it.
