Featured image — How To Store Wedding Clothes
Clean before storing
Always dry clean wedding wear before storage. Invisible sweat, food and oil stains oxidise over time and become permanent yellow marks.
Wrap correctly
Use acid-free tissue and breathable cotton or muslin covers.
Never store heavy embellished wear in plastic long term.
Pad folds with tissue to prevent creasing.
Storage conditions
Keep in a cool, dry, dark place.
Avoid humidity, which causes mildew and metal-thread tarnish.
Check and refold once or twice a year.
Frequently Asked Questions
