One of the most important elements of a bride’s wedding day is her gown. The gown represents her personal style and is a personal statement about her. This is an important purchase that she may choose to keep beyond her wedding day. Her wedding gown would serve as a reminder of her wedding day. The wedding gown could also be preserved as a family heirloom to be handed down to her children or grand children.
To keep a wedding gown looking as beautiful as the first time worn, it should be preserved. When preserving a wedding gown it is cleaned and packaged for long-term storage. Distinctive Moments carries the Wedding Gown Preservation Co. preservation kits. The Wedding Gown Preservation Co. has been in business since 1913.
The wedding gown should be preserved as soon possible after the wedding, before visible and invisible stains have time to set. Be sure to preserve the veil and other keepsakes as well.
Once preserved the wedding gown should not be stored in an attic or basement but in the living area of a home where there is not too much fluctuation in temperature and humidity. Ideally the wedding gown should be placed in a dark cool place. It should not be exposed to excessive light, dust and other hazards. The packaging containing the wedding gown should not be vacuum-sealed. Vacuum sealing traps in fumes and moisture, which leads to mold, mildew and eventually the deterioration of the gown. The Wedding Gown Preservation Co. does not vacuum seal their preservation chests.
By preserving her wedding gown a bride can have a lasting tangible memory of one of the most unforgettable days of her life.
