5 Reasons To Clean & Preserve Your Wedding Gown

5 Reasons To Clean & Preserve Your Wedding Gown

Jun 05, 2023

Congratulations! You are officially married! Your big day came and hopefully was everything you ever dreamed of and more! Most people think that after your wedding day, all wedding related tasks other than thank you cards are completed. However, they are forgetting one very important to-do...getting your wedding gown cleaned and preserved! Here is exactly why you want to clean and preserve that beautiful gown at Blu Rayne Bridal!

 


 

Reason #1: So You Have The Opportunity To Pass Along Your Wedding Gown

One of the main reasons to clean and preserve your wedding gown is to at least have the option to pass it along, whether to a future generation, a friend, or a bride in need! Cleaning and preserving your gown restores your dream dress to its original form. It removes any visible stains, prevents yellowing, prevents stretching and keeps it safe from any elements while it is stored. When a wedding dress is stored in a closet or in a regular box or garment bag after being worn for a full day, all of the stains or any impurities have the time to set in and cause damage. 

 

Reason #2: So There Are No Visible Stains On Your Wedding Dress

A wedding day is a very long day filled with love, laughter, fun, food and drinks! Whether it is a small spill of white wine, red sauce, or dirt on your train from walking around outside, you are going to want to get those stains removed from your gown as soon as possible so they don't have time to set in! When we clean and preserve your gowns, we specifically mark all the locations of stains to ensure that they are completely cleaned and your dress looks as good as new! Not only does cleaning and preserving your wedding gown remove visible stains, but it also removes non-visible stains such as oils from your hands that may end up yellowing over time.

 

Reason #3: So You Can Create A Lasting Memory

When you clean and preserve your wedding gown, it provides you with a lasting memory in addition to those beautiful photos and videos! You will be able to see your wedding dress bodice and there are special gloves that are included with your preservation box in the event that someday you would like to open it and see your wedding dress in all of it's glory again!

 

Reason #4: So Your Wedding Dress Is Stored In A Safe Place

Your preservation box is the safest place to store your wedding gown. The box that your wedding dress is preserved in keeps it safe from any moisture, which prevents yellowing. When your gown is placed in the box, it is folded nicely to create a beautiful display but it also prevents stretching of the gown which can occur if a gown is left on a hanger for an extended period of time. 

 

Reason #5: So If You Ever Decide To Sell Your Wedding Dress, It Will Be Worth More

At some point, if a wedding gown is not passed along to a family member or friend, then people sometimes chose to sell their designer wedding gown. Whether it takes you 1, 5, or 15 years to come to that decision, cleaning and preserving your gown after your wedding will ensure that the dress retains its worth! A wedding gown that is simply hung in a closet after a full day of wear will certainly not look the same as a gown that has been carefully cleaned and preserved. Cleaning and preserving your dream wedding dress will provide you with at least the option to someday sell if you choose to do so!
