Why Fall Weddings Require Extra Attention to Dress Cleaning and Preservation
The gown you dreamed about from childhood has served its primary purpose- to see you floating down the aisle on your wedding day. With the colder weather approaching, however, it’s really important to think about your future plans for your bridal dress and to take action soon. That is because colder temperatures are not kind to delicate fabrics, especially those adorned with beading, lace, embroidery, and other embellishments. What you can do now to ensure your gown’s future as an heirloom, or to be worn at your vow renewal in a few years, is speak with Cameo by Copeland Cleaners regarding our wedding dress dry cleaning and preservation services.
Preserve the Memories with Expert Care
Your most vivid memory of your wedding day is likely how you appeared in your bridal gown. That is why it is so essential to have your garment cared for by our experts. After all, your wedding gown is no ordinary dress, and to have it professionally cleaned and preserved is an investment in its future, while conserving its past. Think of yourself as the steward of your gown, which is now a keepsake, and Cameo by Copeland Cleaners as the consummate professionals whose wedding gown dry cleaning will ensure that your gown is well-preserved for future generations.
Don’t Wait: Fall Is the Time to Act
If you wed earlier this year and have not yet contacted Cameo by Copeland Cleaners wedding dress dry cleaning and preservation, time is of the essence. That is because the Fall weather heralds the holiday season, when your attention is diverted from your nuptials and remaining tasks associated with that celebration. It is the rare wedding gown that does not have cleaning issues caused either by the environment or spillage during your photo shoot or reception. Over time, stains will set and grime becomes more difficult to remove as well.
Common Wedding Gown Issues That Require Professional Dry Cleaning
Stains/Sweat/Oils
Cosmetics, perfume, grass stains, soil, food, and wine may not be obvious at first and over time will darken and become harder to remove. Some acidic stains, such as alcohol, can even degrade your gown’s fabrics. It is also the rare bride who does not break a sweat on her wedding day! Natural oils can seep into fabrics. Discoloration and weakened fibers are the result.
Yellowing of Your Gown
In a matter of months, especially if improperly stored, certain fabrics, both organic and synthetic, will begin to yellow. You may not realize it, but when stored in a basement or attic, the cold weather can exacerbate the breakdown of your gown’s fabric fibers.
Mold and Mildew
Hot weather is not the only enemy of your bridal gown. Colder temperatures in a damp environment enable mold and mildew spores to proliferate which can potentially, if left untreated, destroy your wedding gown.
