KeepWedding Dresses well on and after the big day

The wedding day draws closer and you have picked up your wedding dress – anything that happens now is your responsibility. No matter if you are twelve months or one week out from your wedding day, careful preparation will avoid disasters on the day.

When you and your bridesmaids get into your wedding dresses, tuck some tissues under your arms – there will be lots of running around, and no doubt nerves, this will prevent unsightly underarm spots from staing the wedding dress and bridesmaids dresses. Of course, don’t forget to remove the tissues just before the ceremony! Scuff or scour the bottoms of your shoes(if they are not already scuffed or scoured) on the foot path, or with a knife or sandpaper.

Now, that day has come and gone. Looking at your wedding dress, you have to decide what will become of it. There are many options available, depending on financial and personal needs.

If looking to keep your wedding dress, it needs to be professionally cleaned and preserved at the cleaners. This will prevent the wedding dress from yellowing and having a foul odor. It is also a good idea to have a wedding dress cleaned if looking to sell, as most wedding consignment shops will not accept clothing that has not been professionally cleaned.
