Preparing for Your Destination Wedding this Summer

If you are planning your destination wedding this summer, Cameo by Copeland Cleaners extends our sincerest congratulations on your upcoming nuptials! You have doubtless hired a wedding planner team and are leaving the finer details such as legal requirements, vendors, venue, and accommodations to those pros. What remains for you to consider, will of course be packing, and by packing we mean the most important item on your list, your bridal gown. First, you will want to arrange for a bridal gown cleaning before you leave. This ensures that your wedding dress will be carefully cleaned. Next, you will want to pack it so that it travels well, by car or air, arrives in pristine condition, and is flawless when you wear it on the day of your wedding. As previously stated, your wedding planner can make arrangements to have your dress quickly undergo another bridal gown cleaning if it has not traveled well and/or needs repairs. 

When Do You Need Bridal Gown Cleaning Services?

• • When You Buy Your Dress: More and more of today’s brides are choosing to purchase discounted dresses at a sample sale, or wear a family heirloom that has been stored in an attic, or purchase a vintage dress at a boutique. It is essential under all these conditions that you bring your gown to a professional dry cleaner. For discriminating brides in Manhattan and on Long Island, Cameo by Copeland Cleaners are the professionals you can trust.  

• When You Arrive at Your Destination:  Some wedding gowns simply do not travel well. Wrinkles are a common issue, but when you arrive at your accommodation, be sure to hang your wedding dress and examine it closely to ensure any findings, zippers, buttons, and embellishments have traveled well. This is the time your wedding planners can arrange for any dress issues to be quickly resolved. 

• When You Return from Your Honeymoon: Especially if your ceremony was performed on a beach, you’ll need to unpack your gown with care, and arrange to have it picked up by Cameo by Copeland Cleaners. Our bridal gown cleaning experts will scrutinize your wedding dress and advise of any necessary services that will need to be performed before we carefully clean and preserve your gown. The age, fabric, and condition of your dress will determine the techniques and methods we will use to return your wedding dress to you in immaculate condition. It will be presented wrapped in a muslin covered box, which will enable you to enjoy your dress whenever you wish. This way it can be worn at a future vow renewal or presented to a future daughter or granddaughter on their wedding day.
