Do Wedding Dresses Really Turn Yellow?
So you’ve got your wedding dress, and maybe you’ve even worn it on the big day!!! And now you’re wondering–what on earth should I do with it? It takes up a lot of closet space and can be such a pain to store when you’re worried anything might damage it. Maybe you’re worried that over time, your wedding dress will start to turn yellow, even if you keep it out of direct sunlight. We’re here today to help you figure out what to do to keep your wedding dress safe, to fix minor stains and tears, and most importantly, how to keep it from sitting in storage for decades, getting more and more yellow by the day.

Do Wedding Dresses Turn Yellow?
The answer is yes, wedding dresses do turn yellow if they are left unpreserved, and they turn extra yellow if they are left in sunlight. The GREAT news is that when you get your dress preserved, the treatments the cleaning & preservation service uses will keep your dress 100% yellow-free, guaranteed for 100 years!! No more worrying about your dress sitting in a bag turning yellow as the years go by–when you get your dress cleaned & preserved, it will be cleaned of all the wedding day dirt and stains and will be preserved, returned to you in a beautiful window box, guaranteed to remain the same color for years to come!

Can Wedding Dresses be dry cleaned?
Wedding dresses can totally be dry cleaned! It costs about the same amount to get your dress completely dry cleaned after your wedding as it does to have your dress cleaned & preserved–we always recommend the cleaning & preservation so you don’t have to worry about the storage, since it will be returned to you in a beautiful, compact window box!
Whether you’re still planning for the big day or you got to wear your beautiful dress for your wedding and are trying to figure out what your next step is, we hope this gave you some ideas for what to do with your dress. Cleaning & preservation is our personal favorite recommendation since it cleans up your dress and preserves it with treatments that will keep it looking pristine for years to come. And who knows…maybe one day you’ll decide to take it out of the box and wear it again, whether just for fun, for an anniversary, or for an event like The Dress Encore!
