Keep Your Wedding Dress Pristine for your wedding day by combining careful storage, gentle handling, and last‑minute checks so it looks flawless from first look to last dance. These steps minimise creasing, bead loss, and stains while preserving the gown’s structure and finish.
Steps On How to keep your wedding dress pristine for your wedding day
1. Store correctly from day one
Hang the dress by its internal loops in a breathable garment bag, away from heat, light, and humidity. Avoid plastic covers that trap moisture and can cause yellowing or mildew over time.
2. Handle with clean, dry hands
Always wash and dry hands or use lint‑free gloves before touching the gown. Limit try‑ons and keep pets, makeup, and perfumes well away to prevent accidental marks.
3. Steam, don’t iron
Use a handheld steamer on the inside of the fabric, keeping the head a few centimetres away. Test a small area first and avoid direct heat on lace, tulle, sequins, or glue‑set embellishments.
4. Protect the hem and train
Use a clean sheet beneath long hems during fittings and practice bustling. Consider a detachable overskirt or aisle runner to shield delicate fabric from dust and scuffs.
5. Create a day‑of emergency kit
Pack fashion tape, mini sewing kit, safety pins, clear nail polish (for runs), stain wipes, a white chalk stick (to mask tiny marks), and a travel steamer. Assign a bridesmaid as “dress captain” to help.
