Stop by!

For the next Generation

You fell in love with your wedding gown and wore it for one glorious day.  Now, it's hanging in its bag in your closet.  Wondering what to do with it?

Have it cleaned and preserved to save it for the next generation.  Even if it's not worn in another wedding, you can use the material to create something for a special occasion.

JScheer & Co is a preservation company recommended by many of the top gown designers.

You should send your gown in to be cleaned within 6 months of your wedding day.  Until then, the gown should be stored in a clean white sheet in a dark place.  It should not be hung on a hanger, as that can cause stress to the fabric.

Da Dum Dadum - The Gown

I know we have written about gown shopping tips in the past, but the newest brides could use a refresher course.

Always remember to:

1.  Make an appointment at the salon of your choice.

2.  Only visit 1 or 2 salons in a day.  It's tiring and you want to be fresh

3.  Set a budget.  The bridal gown consultant will only show you gowns in your budget and you want to avoid sticker shock.

4.  Flip through magazines.  Look around and see what sort of gown you're drawn to - it will help you communicate with your bridal gown consultant.

5.  Be open to suggestions.  Your consultant will have some ideas on what style suits your figure.

6.  Sleep on it.  Once you've chosen a gown take a day to sit with the decision, then place the order for the gown.

7. Don't shop too early.  This is how many two-gown brides are born.  If you'll be engaged for more than a year, wait to go gown shopping.  New styles will come out and your vision of the gown will evolve.
