Tips and Advice: proper care for your gown

We tote in our wedding day emergency kit just about everything for attending to spills and stains:  Shout wipes, Tide pens, baby powder, chalk,... but before we apply any products to a wedding gown, we prefer to know how your gown salon recommends treating your special garment.  While many assume that a detergent wipe can fix anything, certain fabrics just don't seem to get along with even the least bit of moisture.  In fact, delicate fabrics can be ruined with an application of just plain water.

Before your big day, inquire with your bridal salon about the proper care of your wedding gown.  Ask about how to treat a possible lipstick stain from a well-wishing guest, or a grass stain from walking across an outdoor courtyard, or a soiled spot from a bit of spilled cocktail.  It never hurts to be prepared for those "just in case" moments, especially with an article of clothing as precious as a wedding gown.

Happy planning!
