Wedding Gown Care & Preservation

Wedding gowns are one of the most prized possessions for every bride. It symbolises one of lifes most important passages and should therefore be treated with special care.

Selecting Your Wedding Gown

It is important to allow appropriate time before your big day to choose the wedding gown that suit the style you are looking for. Some brides will buy pre-made dresses from retailers whilst others will have gowns specially made by a designer.

Wedding gowns are normally constructed of various fabrics which may include satin, polyester, taffeta, chiffon, organza, brocade, french lace and raw silk.

It is important that your gown has a care label attached which will give direction on how the gown is to be cleaned. The care label attached to the dress is important as it covers all components of the gown, including decorative trim. If your gown fails to withstand the care procedure it should be returned to the manufacturer for redress.
