After the big day, they will still have that gorgeous gown, and things can go one of two ways for the gown. They can hang it in the closet in its bag for years so they can look at it or even put it back on when they are feeling sentimental. Or, they can have the wedding gown preserved. If you are wondering if you should have your own wedding gown preserved, then you want to read some information that will educate you on some important reasons for having it preserved. 

Time takes its toll on wedding gowns

You don't want to make the mistake of thinking that your wedding gown will stay in great shape for years to come simply because you have it stored away in its bag. The truth is that time will end up taking its toll on the fabric and the wedding dress will eventually end up damaged. 

As the years go by, the gown will eventually end up with fabric that has yellowed. Areas with stains, even invisible ones, will end up dark yellow or even brown, and the fabric will be weakened and easy to rip in those areas. Mildew and mold can also end up destroying a gown that isn't properly preserved. 

Wedding gowns preservation helps protect the wedding gown in many ways

It is very important for the wedding gown to be professionally cleaned so all of the stains, including the invisible ones, will be removed. Tissue paper will be used to protect the creases of the gown and to help maintain its proper shape. The gown will be put in a special archival box that will prevent the air from getting to the gown. If the gown is stored in a box with a window in the front of it, then you are going to want to keep it stored in a dark place that prevents the sun from getting to it. 

There are many reasons for preserving a wedding gown

You may want to preserve your wedding gown for sentimental purposes. You want to keep it in the best shape possible, even if you never take it out of the box again. 

Another reason for having the wedding gown preserved is to keep it in fantastic shape, so it can be worn again by someone else in the family, such as your daughter, your niece, or someone else you are very close to who you would want to be able to wear it on their wedding day. 

A wedding gown can also be a treasured thing that gets passed down from one generation to the next. It can be a very special thing for someone to own the wedding gown that their great-great-grandmother wore on her wedding day. If you want to have the opportunity to pass down your gown, then you really need to have it preserved or it won't last long enough to be passed down.
