Step 1 - Preservation
After walking down the aisle, celebrating with guests, and dancing the night away, your dress might not be as spotless as it was when you first brought it home. You’re not alone. Even the most careful brides can end up with a splatter of unsightly stains on their wedding dress by the end of the night. Don’t worry, it’s the sign of a great celebration!
Despite the likely fact that you won’t be wearing your gown again, we understand why you’d want your dress to be restored to its pristine condition for years to come.
Gown preservation allows you to restore and maintain your gown’s timeless beauty. Your local dry cleaner or online service will be able to clean your dress. Many also offer an anti-yellowing and a stain removal treatment to give your gown extra long-lasting protection. Don’t worry if you can't get the dress completely spotless as you can always hide a minor stain or rip in a fabric fold or a well-placed wedding accessory.
You may want to consider cleaning and repairing a few accessories like a tiara, veil, earrings, shoes etc to capture the essence of their wedding day look. Whilst a cobbler can work wonders on your bridal shoes, your local jewellers will often clean up special jewellery pieces for a minimal cleaning fee and if you go back to the store where you purchased the item a lot of stores will clean it for free. Alternatively, soapy water is often all you need to make a piece of jewellery shine again.
Step 2 – Choose a home
If you want your wedding dress to serve as more than just a commemorative keepsake taking up space in your wardrobe, think about areas in which you can display your frame around the house.
You might think you don’t have space to frame your gown, but you may surprise yourself. As the frame is less than 30cm deep many brides find they have space behind a door opening, in a stairwell or walkway. Anywhere you display your frame it will be sure to add class and beauty to your space.
As with any delicate work of art, when choosing an appropriate area in your home, be sure to display your wedding dress in an area of the house that doesn't get a lot of direct sunlight, and an area that's a cool, dry environment. You should also consider choosing a space where you will be able to safely fix the frame to a wall.
This extra care will ensure your dress stays looking its best for longer.
Step 3 – Design
There are two popular options when it comes to framing a dress: Visiting a bespoke framing shop is the traditional option. This is significantly more expensive with prices often starting in the thousands, for this reason, brides often opt for a cost-saving by reducing the frame size so only half the dress can be seen.
