It is wise of you to clean and preserve your wedding dress as soon as possible, which can make sure your wedding dress in the best condition possible. Especially if you would like to preserve your wedding gown for
memory or intend to give it to your daughter, you need to take special care in preserving
your wedding dress once the wedding is over.

food or make-up, or the hemline may be soiled. As time goes by, these stains
will get from bad to worse. There may be all kinds of chemical reactions.
It's told that a plastic garment bag will provide a good barrier from spills
and rain, and provide some protection from crushing the dress so it can stay
more wrinkles free while transporting. But a plastic garment bag is not a good
place to store a wedding dress for an extended period of time, even a few weeks
could prove too long to store your dress.
A plastic garment bag does
not usually allow the fabric to breathe which is essential for the good
condition of the dress Plastic will emit fumes that can cause a wedding dress
to turn yellow. Hanging a dress for an extended period of time can cause the
seams of the dress to stretch, especially for bridal gowns with long
trains. There are breathable garment bags designed today for white wedding dresses.
You can also choose a trustworthy dry cleaner and have your
wedding dresses and bridal accessories cleaned. When you get back your wedding
gown, remove all the plastic. Fold the unique wedding dresses. Take acid
free tissue paper or unbleached muslin and place between folds. Wrap the entire
dress in the muslin and place in an acid-free box. Store the box in a dry, dark
place. You will also need to air the wedding gown at least once a year. Also,
refold the dress along different lines so that creases don’t develop.
Ideally, your unique weddingdress should be cleaned and preserved within days or weeks of your
wedding. In that way, even a year or a decade later, you can look at your dress whenever you want and even give it to
your own daughter who will enjoy the happiness just as you did on
your big day.
