How to Preserve Your Beloved Wedding Gown to Last for Years?



After your beautiful wedding ceremony, most brides tend to forget about their wedding dresses. It seems that the months of preparation and planning about what to wear gets forgotten. Remember your sleepless nights of deciding about the style, design, and fabric to use. We all know that the process of creating your dream wedding gown is not an easy task.


This is why USA Bridal wants to raise awareness on the proper way of preserving your beloved dress. We are a renowned bridal store in the US that offers thousands of designer bridal gowns from famous designers. We want to share our love for these wedding gowns and teach brides and bride-to-be on how to keep their frocks properly.

Why Do I Need to Preserve My Gown?

Preserving your bridal dress avoids these following scenarios:

  • It prevents white dresses from yellowing.
  • Avoiding brown oxidation spots.
  • Stop mildew and mold growth
  • Avoid creasing of fabric permanently.

Proper Way of Preserving Your Beautiful Bridal Dress

Know the Difference Between the Ordinary Dry-Cleaning and Professional Wedding Dress Preservation

Oftentimes, brides send their gowns to a regular dry-cleaning shop without any special requests. You should know that you can always request for a specialized wedding dress cleaning. This process considers the fabric of your gown and the proper cleaning products to use.Choose a dry cleaner that specializes in cleaning gowns. 


Be Cautious About Invisible Stains 

Make sure to remember if you spilled whte wine or other colorless liquids in your gown during the reception. Ignoring these invisible stains can produce yellow to brown stains in the long run. Professional cleaners have the expertise to spot these stains and remove them correctly.

Follow the Label on Your Dress Strictly

Don’t ignore the cleaning instructions on the label of your gown. Make sure to explain it with your dry cleaner to avoid dry cleaning nightmares. Remember that these labels are there for an important reason.

The Right Time for Cleaning

After the wedding, the couple’s minds are drawn to their honeymoon. It is best for brides to ask her mother, sister or friend to immediately bring the gown to a dry cleaning specialist the next day. This will prevent stains from showing up when ignored for days or weeks.

Prepare an Airtight Preservation Box

It is advisable to to store your gown, after dry cleaning, into an airtight container. Make sure that oxygen has been sucked out and replaced with nitrogen. This process helps in avoiding oxidation and permanently staining the dress.

Store it in a Cool Dark Place

Once it is placed in an airtight box, keep it in a place that is not directly hit by the sunlight. It is better not to hang the clothes because it causes the dress to become misshapen. Do not use regular air tight zip-up plastic bags for your dress. Choose to keep it in a specialized wedding preservation box.
