Brides-to-be have been told how to store their wedding dress before and after the big day to prevent discolouration, damage, and mould. Interior experts at Online-Bedrooms.co.uk have named five storage solutions for keeping wedding dresses in perfect condition.
The gown should be kept away from a basement or loft and instead hung in a wardrobe to reduce the risk of moisture and mildew damage. Fabric garment bags should be used for storage, rather than a plastic covering which may create the perfect environment for mould growth. The day after the wedding, dresses should be taken to a specialist cleaner to remove any stains in order to preserve the gown.
Nic Shacklock from Online-Bedrooms.co.uk said: "Many brides are spending thousands of pounds on their wedding dresses, so it's crucial to take really good care of the gown to prevent any tears to the fabric, or mould damage. "Storing your dress in the wardrobe, hung by the loops rather than the straps, will prevent the fabric from stretching and stop mildew growth. "Wedding dresses should never be covered in plastic before or after the big day, as this could trap moisture.
"If you're using a box to keep the gown in after your wedding day, make sure to use acid-free white tissue paper to prevent further damage or discolouration."
Here's how to store your wedding dress:
