4 Common Red Flags to Be Aware of While Preserving Wedding Dresses

Brides these days have a lot of things to do with their wedding dresses. Some would sell them off, while a few would re-purpose their dresses into lingerie or cocktails. Then again, there some, who would like to preserve them as a memento of the most important day of their lives.

However, while doing so, they inadvertently end up committing a few mistakes, which do no good to the dresses and defeat the very purpose of their efforts. 

If you belong to the league of brides who want to preserve them, do so with perfection so that the dress remains excellent wear even when you celebrate your first wedding anniversary!!!

Be aware of the following errors that will harm your costly wedding dress.

Error#1 - Waiting for too long!!!

When it comes to preserving wedding dresses, there are a lot of reasons behind the idea. 

As per the words of a professional maker of wedding dresses in Melbourne, “most of the customers whom we serve, express their aspirations to preserve their wedding dress, considering it as an heirloom item, and pass it down to their offsprings. They would like to see their children getting wed wearing the same dress when they grow up. Thus, they expect us to make bridal wears that will last generations..not just a couple of years or so!"

With that being the plan, waiting for too long before taking the necessary steps to preserve the dress can be a disaster. Remember, stains and marks (including those that remain light at first, and get more profound and deeper and more visible with time) do not take much time to settle. Therefore, the longer you wait to take the necessary steps, the more discoloured the gown becomes and more stubbornly the marks set in. Hence, it's an error you must not commit if you have plans to preserve your wedding gown!

Error#2 - Appointing a non-specialist to clean your wedding gown!!!

Preservation of wedding dress essentially starts with cleaning. However, cleaning a wedding gown is not everyone’s cup of tea. Even the best dry cleaner may falter while cleaning wedding dresses.

That is why you must turn to a truly experienced specialist wedding dress cleaner for cleaning your wedding dress. The pro will adopt multiple methods to clean your bridal gown, depending upon the materials it is made up of, and its embellishments.

Error#3 - Trying to remove stains yourself

Has your gown gotten dirty - only a bit? And you think you can ward it off yourself, with a bit of effort? This is where you take the first false step. The decision itself is a disastrous one, for in your effort to remove that 'tiny' stain, you only smudge the stain, making things only uglier. 

As the experts would say, “do not even think of home remedies when it comes to cleaning wedding gowns. It is the pro who cleans wedding dress in Melbourne, who will determine the best, the most effective and safest cleaning medium to get rid of the stains.”

Error#4 - Rushing and storing the dress in the wrong way

Rushing the gown off to preserve it the day after the wedding is something that the brides do. Well, you might be a busy newlywed, but that will do no good to your wedding gown. Ideally, your gown should be hanging safely, till you come back from the honeymoon and take it to the professional cleaner.

Wen it comes to storing the dress, do not stash it in the loft or an ordinary box in your basement. The dampness and the moisture of the basement will make the dress messy. So the ideal way to preserve the dress is to store it in a temperature-controlled atmosphere, beyond the reach of direct sunlight, humidity, and dampness.

Also, you need to use a preservation box, which is airtight to make sure the dress remains intact...for days...for months..for years..and even for decades!!!
