How do I care for my bridal dress before and after the wedding?
Storing your wedding dress properly before the wedding is crucial to keep it in pristine condition. Here’s a step-by-step guide for the best approach:
---
How to Store Your Wedding Dress Before the Wedding
1. Choose a Clean, Dry Space
- Avoid humid areas like basements or attics, as humidity can cause mildew or mold.
- Store the dress in a temperature-controlled environment, ideally between 60–75°F (15–24°C) with moderate humidity (40–50%).
2. Use the Right Garment Bag
- Opt for a breathable garment bag made of muslin or cotton rather than plastic, which can trap moisture and cause yellowing.
- Ensure the bag is long enough to avoid crumpling the hem of the dress.
3. Keep It Away from Light
- Sunlight or even artificial light can fade or discolor fabrics over time. Store the dress in a dark closet or cover the garment bag with a sheet for added protection.
4. Hang or Lay Flat Based on the Fabric
- For lightweight fabrics (e.g., chiffon, tulle), hanging the dress by its loops is usually safe.
- For heavier gowns (e.g., with beading or lace), lay it flat in a large, acid-free storage box to prevent fabric stretching or stress on seams.
5. Use Acid-Free Materials
- If using a box, line it with acid-free tissue paper and layer it between folds of the dress to prevent creasing.
- For a dress stored flat, ensure the bodice is lightly padded with tissue to maintain its shape.
6. Protect Delicate Details
- Wrap any embellishments, like beading or lace, in tissue paper to avoid snagging or imprinting on other parts of the dress.
7. Check Periodically
- Inspect the dress every few weeks to ensure no new wrinkles, stains, or damage have occurred. Avoid handling it too frequently, as oils from your hands can transfer to the fabric.
8. Avoid Strong Odors
- Keep the dress away from areas with strong scents, like kitchens or rooms with scented candles, as fabrics can absorb odors.
On the wedding day
To ensure your dress looks flawless in photos, we recommend hand steaming it before wearing it. Avoid ironing, as it may damage delicate fabrics or embellishments. Always refer to the care instructions provided with your gown to ensure proper handling. You'll be picture-perfect in no time!
