Preserve
your Wedding Memories
Wedding gowns need
special care
before being put away.
Y ou
spent weeks, maybe even months searching for it.
You wore it in front of
family, friends and your new husband.
You
were a Beautiful vision in white topped with satin and lace. Something as
special as your wedding gown shouldn’t just be tossed in a closet after your
big day. Store your Gown Safely in an Heirloom Wedding Gown Storage Box |
|
Protect your gown by having it professionally cleaned. Stains like body oil and
perspiration are invisible, but can
turn the fabric yellow over time. After it’s cleaned, the gown is ready to be
wrapped and boxed. The folds of the
dress and bodice should be stuffed with clean, acid-free tissue to prevent
permanent wrinkles. Shoulder pads,
perspiration shields or anything made of foam should be removed from the gown.
Then, the gown should be put in
the acid-free Wedding Gown storage box. Don’t just put it anywhere.
Avoid stashing it in a hot attic, a
cold basement, a trunk, a drawer or even the garage. Extreme temperatures can
damage gowns. Instead, store it in
a climate-controlled area of the home where there are few changes in humidity
and temperature. By following the
right storage steps, you’ll be able to keep your gown for years. And maybe it
can even be an heirloom for your
daughter to wear at her wedding someday. |
