To preserve or not to preserve? You've said the I Do's, now what do I Do with the wedding dress - that is the question. Will I want to pass my wedding gown down to my daughter? Keep it for sentimental reasons? Or will I want to wear my wedding gown to renew my vows? These can be options for you in the future if you do your homework now in wedding dress cleaning and preservation. You do not need to decide right now what you will do with your wedding gown 10, 20, 30 years from your wedding day, but you do want to preserve your wedding dress now to have those options available to you later.

As a bride you made a lot of decisions for the big day, so it is understandable if your bridal gown is now resting in a plastic garment bag in your closet. You have all the best intentions of cleaning and preserving your wedding gown sometime soon. That soon often turns into weeks, and then years. This procrastination poses some serious risks to the gown like oxidation and damage from plastic fumes.
Oxidation of stains can be both seen and unseen. Noticeable stains from food or make-up or soiled hemlines are obvious reasons to get take action quickly. Don't be fooled, spills from alcoholic beverages or clear soda may dry clear, but oxidize with time, turn brown and become more difficult to remove later. Body perspiration may cause the dress lining to turn brittle over time. Your wedding dress needs to be cleaned in order to keep it in the best condition possible.
Another cause of damage are the fumes from plastic gown bags. Most plastics give off chemical fumes that cause the yellowing of bridal gowns. Some brides take the initiative to get their wedding dress cleaned, but still leave their gown in the dry-cleaner's plastic wrap or garment bag which can lead to damage to the gown later.
Proper wedding gown preservation requires both cleaning of the dress and also storage in an acid-free box. These steps should be taken as soon as possible after your wedding day. Don't give your wedding dress to your daughter with stains or wear it to renew your wedding vows yellow and dull, keep your options open and preserve your wedding dress with a wedding gown preservation company who can do it properly and without breaking the bank. Your wedding gown, if properly cleaned and preserved can live on and can be enjoyed once again clean, stain free, and vibrant like it was on your special day.
