Wedding Gown Preservation - why it is so important right after the wedding!

The other day we had one of our beautiful brides bring her gown in for preservation. It has been almost a year since the wedding and due to her school schedule, she had just now found the time to bring her gown to us for cleaning and preservation. It had been a while since she had looked at the gown so we opened the bag and she was astonished at what she saw! There were stains on the gown, both in the front and back that she could not explain. After discussing the wedding with her and telling her that some of the sneakiest things at a wedding that can stain a gown are champagne and sugar she realized what had happened!
During the cake cutting, she and her groom had smashed each other with cake therefore some had fallen down the front of her skirt. Unknowingly, she brushed it away with her hand and created a larger problem. After looking at the back of her gown, you can also see where her groom rested his hand for pictures and where someone had placed their thumb to adjust her zipper.


Even though you may not see any stains with your eyes, trust us, there are invisible stains lurking around. Make sure you have someone designated to take your gown to be preserved immediately after the wedding while you are away enjoying your honeymoon. The preservation process costs less than taking it to a local cleaners and includes cleaning, pressing, preservation and three nested boxes to protect your gown for years to come! For more information or to schedule a time to bring your gown for preservation, feel free to contact us at any time!
