Here’s a comprehensive guide to help you keep your wedding dress looking as beautiful as the day you wore it, with a spotlight on Bellissima Bridal’s exceptional preservation service!
Immediate Post-Wedding Care
As soon as the wedding festivities are over, it’s important to address any stains or damage to your dress. The sooner you take care of these, the better the outcome. Here’s what to do:
1. Inspect the Dress: Carefully examine your dress for any stains, tears, or damage. Common stains include makeup, sweat, and food or drink spills. Note any areas that need special attention.
2. Professional Cleaning: Take your dress to a professional cleaner who specializes in wedding gowns. Inform them about any stains and the type of fabric so they can use the appropriate cleaning methods. Avoid standard dry cleaners, as they may not have the expertise required for delicate wedding dresses.

3. Time is of the Essence: Aim to have your dress cleaned within a month of your wedding. Delaying cleaning can make stains harder to remove and may cause permanent damage.

1. Professional Assistance: If you plan to wear your dress again or pass it down, consider having it professionally inspected and cleaned before use.
