Wedding gowns cost a lot, and unfortunately, getting stains on that expensive white wedding dress is pretty much one of those things that’s guaranteed to happen on your wedding day. Let me demonstrate…
Case #1: I barely stepped outside and Bugs the pug thought my train was a good place to rest his cute fuzzy butt. That’s great for you, Bugsy, except now I have dirty paw prints on my train…
Case #2: Finally I can eat that delicious red velvet cupcake I’ve been eyeing all day…only I got a little over zealous and dropped red crumbs all over my dress…
Case #3: Did someone say toast? Alright, let me down this glass of champagne, oops…
Case #4: You want me to stand by this tree for the photo? Ok…let me just walk through this grass field and collect a few dead twigs, leaves, and dirt on the way…
You get the point…stains happen.
On you wedding day, you’ll likely trudge through crazy terrain to get that swoon-worthy photo; get cake pushed in your face (or you’re just a messy eater like me); drop make up and lipstick all over yourself in nervousness; and dance you ass off and get all sweaty.
So what happens after? Whether you want to sell your gown or preserve it as a family heirloom, you’ll probably want to clean your wedding dress.
There’s an easy and affordable way to clean and preserve your dress and it’s called Affordable Preservation. They have years of experience in specifically cleaning and preserving wedding dresses; they are affordable; and they have great reviews on Project Wedding.
The process is very simple. You just go to their site and order a kit (probably best to do this before your wedding). The kit will arrive with complete prepaid packaging and instructions. When you’re ready to clean your wedding dress, simply pack up the dress and send it off !
I wish I knew about this before I spent lots of money cleaning my dress. But I figured hey, I still have my dress, let’s try it out…This is my first time trying this so stay tuned for part deux…
P.S. There’s a giveaway coming up!
Bugsy told me he enjoyed getting your dress dirty!
Love the post!
Oh man you had fun!
