BRIDAL GOWN CARE

Your wedding dress is not just a gown; it's a meticulously crafted piece of art. It's important that it's kept pristine until the big day, and long after.

Follow the helpful tips below for storing your gown.

Choose a Cool, Dark Place: Find a cool, dark, and dry place to store your dress, away from direct sunlight, moisture, and extreme temperatures. The back of your closet or under your bed in a breathable garment bag is ideal.

Professional Cleaning First: Ensure your dress is professionally cleaned before storing it. Even invisible stains can develop over time and become permanent if left untreated.
