A Wedding Dress Box vs a Plastic Bag For Your Valuable Dress

When trying to decide what kind of storage to use for your wedding dress, you may be stuck between a proper wedding dress box, or a plastic bag. Let's take a look at reasons why you should use a proper box instead of a bag.

A Proper Wedding Dress Box

A proper wedding dress box will be acid free (because the acid will break down the fabric and cause discoloration) and will also be pH neutral, because a box that is acid free without being neutral will likely have a reverse alkalinity which will cause the same kind of damage as not having a acid free box. The proper wedding dress box will also be solid with no viewing window, because a viewing window will let light in.

A Plastic Bag

While it may be good to help you get your dress from the store to the seamstress for alterations and to the cleaners after the wedding, using a plastic bag allows light to get to the dress which will break down the fabric and lead to discoloration. In addition to light, the bag will likely be more susceptible to moisture which can cause the dress to mildew and mold. As time goes on, the plastic bag will break down, whereas the proper dress box will stay intact. Chances are the plastic composition of the bag will also contain acids that will break down the fabric.

While it may be more cost effective to store your dress in a bag initially, in the end it will do more harm than good when you go to take out the dress in a few years to give to your daughter, friend, or other loved one to find it ruined with discoloration and weakened fabric.

Save yourself potential heartbreak later and store your dress correctly with an acid free, pH neutral wedding dress box. This way you know your dress will be safe through it all and when it is time to renew those vows, you will be ready to go.

Finding out the Best Beach Wedding Dresses Themed Wedding Gowns and Attires

If you have planned you wedding on some far away beaches with golden sands and waves dancing on the shores, then you must prepare for the dresses and attires that are the most important part of your beach themed destination wedding.

For such a theme chosen you would require a wedding gown or wedding attire that is more towards casual - something that is not completely formal.
Beach weddings are informal weddings and thus demand more of practicality than fashion in costumes.

So, how will you find the perfect beach wedding gown or beach wedding attire? It's easy!
Just go through these simple steps and choosing a dress won't be difficult at all for you.

1) Determine the type of gown or attire you wish to wear:

This will depend on what style suits on the bridegroom or groom.
Physical structure determines the appropriateness of the wedding gown or wedding attire.
There are a lot of options available in the market like for brides we can find a strapless gown,
a halter neck gown or gowns with short or long trails etc.
Men can wear loose linen trousers with shirts left untucked or hanging loose on trousers.
The choice will have to be made keeping all the aspects like heat, sand and beach winds in mind.

2) Create a theme and follow it completely:

Choose a theme, it can be nautical, flower based hippie theme or a tropical one. What ever the theme chosen,
compliment your wedding dresses and attires according to it. If you have chosen a Hippe theme,
then the caftan attires or dresses are perfect for the men as well as the women,
and are naturally flattering for all body shapes.

For a tropical theme choose the attires and dresses that are bright and natural.

3) Don't forget the guests and bridesmaid dresses:

To make your wedding more fun. It's important that the guest costumes and the bridesmaid dresses
too compliment the wedding theme. Inform your guests about the wedding theme many days ahead of
your wedding so that they get themselves ready for the day.

It's better to discuss with you family members and friends about the wedding gown or attire that will best suit you.
Additional thoughts can give you better ideas on how you'll want to dress yourself up.
Finding the perfect informal beach wedding dress won't be worth anything if it doesn't make you feel
comfortable and attractive on your wedding day.

Cleaning Your Wedding Dress

Most brides spend hundred and even thousands of pounds on their wedding dresses. Dresses are not cheap and are probably the most expensive piece of clothing you will buy during your lifetime. Traditional and with the majority of wedding dresses, they are white or a very light colour like beige. Obviously this means that any marks or dirt will show up more readily.

During the actual wedding, in having a great time and enjoying yourself, your dress will get some dirt on it no matter how careful you are trying to be. Panic not as you can always clean your dress. You can always try and clean the dress yourself but this is not recommended! There are professional dry cleaners who specialise in cleaning wedding dresses.

Wedding dresses are usually substantial garments and therefore cleaning them is a a task in itself. Not only that, the value of wedding dresses means that the dry cleaners do need to cover themselves with insurance in case anything goes wrong. Due to these factors, having your dress dry cleaned is an expensive business. It can cost a couple of hundred pounds and in some cases can cost a percentage of the cost of your dress. I have come across people who were charged 10% of the cost of the dress! A large proportion of this goes towards the insurance.

Once your dress is dry cleaned, then you need a proper dress storage box for it that is the right size and more importantly is pH neutral. This means that there is no acidity or alkalinity within the material of the box. This is important because over time, any acidity or alkalinity can over time degrade the fabric of the dress or discolour it. So, when you have your dress boxed, store it somewhere at room temperature so you avoid wide temperature fluctuations.

The main piece of advice on this site is to invest in getting your dress professionally dry cleaned rather than doing it yourself. Once cleaned, store it properly in a pH neutral dress box.

PLEASE NOTE: Bridal garment bags usually become wrinkled in transit from manufacturer's packaging. You can remove creases by carefully using a blow-dryer or simply hang your bridal garment bag up for a day or two, and the wrinkles should fall right out on their own. If you have a few stubborn wrinkles, hang the garment bag in the bathroom (but not in the shower itself) and take a hot, steamy shower. By the time you're done, your bridal garment bag should be wrinkle-free.
