After the Wedding: Cleaning and Storing Your Wedding Dress

After all of the months of search for the perfect dress, the planning and the celebration, your wedding is over. Along with the thank-you notes, there is another task to accomplish - cleaning and storing your wedding dress. Within the first three months after the wedding you should take your dress to a professional dry cleaner who specializes in cleaning and storing gowns. Even if the dress looks clean, there are probably stains that will not show up right away but will become permanent if not removed. Proper care and storage will keep your dress looking as beautiful as it was on your wedding day.
