Preservation
Start thinking preservation while your
taking off your gown. Did you spill anything on it? Where?
Do you know what the stains are? Take some small pieces
of paper and safety pins, write on the paper what the spill
is and pin it to the gown where the spill is located. That
way, the cleaner will have a much better chance of restoring
your gown to its original pristine condition.
Someone should take your gown to a dry
cleaner who specializes in gown preservation within a day
or two after your wedding. The longer any stains set, the
less chance of removal. The cleaner should use a special
cleaning process and pack your gown and veil in special
acid free boxes with acid free tissue. This process costs
a few dollars more than standard cleaning and bagging but
you’ll have your beautiful gown to pass along to another
radiant bride in the future.
