You’ll never own anything as beautiful and symbolic as your wedding gown! Here at
Charlotte's Bridal we’d like to give you some tips on preserving it, whether as a keepsake to look at from time to time, or if you want to turn it into your child's Christening gown, or for your own daughter to wear one day. Know that your wedding gown must be carefully cleaned before storing. Food and beverage stains, though invisible at first glance, may yellow later on. The hemline is usually soiled and must be cleaned. Many cleaners may offer to pack your gown in a special box, which offers protection from dust in the air. We offer a special gown preservation service that will take care of all of the steps for you. You can also include items such as your veil, headpiece, gloves, garter, moneybag, handkerchief, slip, etc. (Additional fees may apply).

If you decide to store it yourself, it is best to place it in a cool dry place, not in the basement or attic. If you choose to store it on hangers, sew straps to the waistline to relieve pressure on the shoulders from the weight of the skirt. Stuff the sleeves with white tissue. Finally wrap the entire garment in a protective sheet or muslin covering. Do not encase the gown in plastic. Before you trust this special symbol of your wedding day to just anyone, talk with us about your cleaning and storage options!
