  3. So, we’ve LISTED FIVE TIPS below on HOW YOU CAN PROPERLY STORE YOUR WEDDING GOWN before your trip down the aisle!

  4. CORRECT PACKAGING IS IMPORTANT If your gown arrives in any form of plastic, even if it’s only a small portion of the bag, remove it immediately. If you need to leave your gown in the plastic because your wedding is only a few days away that’s fine, but if it will be put away for any longer than 2-3 days invest in a garment bag. HANG STRAPS ARE NECESSARY We all might cut off the straps that are sewn into our everyday t-shirts for hanging, but they actually come in handy for a wedding gown. Hanging your gown from these straps will support the weight of your gown and prevent any dents or stretching. If you need to leave your gown in the plastic because your wedding is only a few days away that’s fine, but if it will be put away for any longer than 2-3 days invest in a garment bag. But, you also want to consider the weight of your dress. If it has many layers of thick fabric or heavy beading you may want to lay your garment bag flat instead of hanging it up to avoid any mishaps. Plastic emits fumes that can create yellow stains on your gown and it traps moisture in the bag which may cause mildew to appear. Garment bags keep all of the outside elements away from your gown and give the fabric room to breathe.

  5. Avoid storing your gown in a basement, attic, or garage as they often have extreme changes in temperature and humidity that can cause discoloration in your gown. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION Make sure to store your gown in a location that maintains a fairly constant temperature. A location that is cool, dark, and dry is the most ideal environment for your gown such as a closet, spare bedroom, or under the bed. GET RID OF WRINKLES The week of your wedding, remove your gown from it's storage bag, hang it up, and steam it starting with the innermost layer. For Tulle, you can steam a few layers together in order for the steam to “catch.” Make sure to hold the steamer 3-6 inches away from your gown, covering the steamer head with some cotton (an old t-shirt will do), to avoid getting any water droplets on your gown. Avoid storing your gown in a basement, attic, or garage as they often have extreme changes in temperature and humidity that can cause discoloration in your gown. Depending on the amount of fabric on your gown, this might take some time. Make sure to do this BEFORE your big day so you'll only have to touch up on location, rather than steam a whole gown right before you have to get dressed!

  6. GOWN TRAVEL Whether you’re driving to your wedding venue or flying, make sure to take all precautions. If you’re traveling by car, lay your gown across the backseat or on top of heavy luggage in your trunk to avoid any movement. If you’re flying, it’s a good idea to purchase a travel garment bag made of more durable fabric that can be hand-carried or stored in a carry-on bag.
