How to Keep Your Wedding Gown Looking as Beautiful as Your Wedding Day

You’ve trusted Ever After Bridal Cleaners to preserve your wedding gown, ensuring that it remains as breathtaking as the day you walked down the aisle. Now, let’s make sure it stays that way for years (and decades) to come. Here’s our guide to caring for your treasured dress:

1. Clean Hands & White Gloves Before you even think about opening that gown box, always wash your hands thoroughly. We’ve supplied white gloves for a reason—wear them! Oils and chemicals from your skin can cling to the fabric and cause long-term damage.
2. Archival-Style Preservation Your gown is nestled in an archival box with acid-free tissue paper. If you ever need to replace the tissue paper, stick with the acid-free variety, and avoid any colored tissue.
3. The Perfect Storage Spot Find a cool, dry, and dark place for your gown. Think wardrobe or spare room—no direct sunlight, no heating, and definitely no damp areas. Excessive heat or moisture can lead to yellowing and discolouration, which is the last thing you want.
4. Air It Out Every now and then, let your dress breathe. Check it for any signs of damage or pests about every six months. And, after each inspection, fold it along different lines to prevent permanent creases.

Following these steps will ensure that any potential issues are caught early, keeping your gown in pristine condition.

It’s that simple! With a little care and attention, your wedding gown will remain a beautiful reminder of your special day for generations to come. 💍💖
