Tips to preserve your wedding dress if you had to postpone your wedding:
- Choose a place free of humidity and preferably one that does not allow natural light to enter because when the sun is very intense, it can dull the embroidery or change the color of the lace.
- Preferably remove the paper tag from the dress while in storage to avoid the risk of moisture or sunlight transferring the ink to the dress.
- If you are going to have it hanging for a long time, make sure that the weight of the dress is resting on the ribbons (ribbons that it has inside) because if your dress has tulle or lace on the upper part. It can be stretched when hanging for a long time.
- You can store it in the same dress carrier it was delivered in, but if you want even more protection, you can line it with a plastic bag to keep moisture out of the dress.
- In case of storing it horizontally, it is best first to wrap it in a plastic bag, then put it in a cardboard (or plastic) box and preferably keep it high and not on the ground.
- If your dress is made of silk, satin or tulle, it will most likely be a bit wrinkled for your wedding day, so try to check it a week before the big day so that you have time to take it to your dry cleaner for ironing. Confidence, or do it yourself with a steam iron.
- Don’t worry, if you take the necessary care, nothing will happen to your dress. A year or less is a very short period of time for a wedding dress, as these are made to last a lifetime.
