Discover expert laundry care tips for bridesmaid dresses, bridal robes, and veils. Learn the benefits of professional dry cleaning and gentle steaming to preserve delicate fabrics and intricate details.

Bridesmaid Dresses

Professional DRY CLEAN only: Our bridesmaid dresses require professional dry cleaning to ensure their preservation. Dry cleaning helps maintain the delicate fabrics and intricate details while also effectively removing stains and dirt. 

▪ Why Dry Cleaning:

Dry cleaning is a specialized cleaning process that uses chemical solvents instead of water to remove stains, dirt, and odors from fabrics. This method is gentle on delicate materials, such as satin, chiffon, lace, and tulle, which are commonly used in bridesmaid dresses. 

It helps preserve the fabric's color, texture, and overall quality, ensuring that your bridesmaid dresses look as good as new.

Dry cleaning prevents distortion, shrinking, or stretching of the dress, keeping its original shape and structure intact. 

▪ Steam with low heat to remove wrinkles: 

For minor wrinkles or creases, you can gently steam the dress using a low-heat setting without causing harm to the fabric. It is particularly suitable for the delicate materials often used in bridesmaid dresses. 

Unlike ironing, steaming doesn't involve pressing the fabric with direct heat, reducing the risk of damage or scorching. 

▪ How to Steam:

To steam your dress, you can use a garment steamer or a handheld fabric steamer. Here's how:

1. Fill the steamer with water and allow it to heat up.

2. Hang the dress on a hanger or a garment rack.

3. Gently run the steamer over the wrinkled areas while maintaining a safe distance to avoid direct contact with the fabric.

4. The steam will relax the fibers, releasing wrinkles and restoring the dress's smooth appearance.

Bridal Robes

▪ Wash in cold water (with mild detergent):

To care for your bridal robes, it is best to wash them in cold water using a mild detergent. Cold water helps prevent color fading and ensures that the fabric remains in excellent condition. 

▪ Avoid chlorine bleach:

Chlorine bleach can be harsh on our delicate fabrics and may cause discoloration or damage. We strongly advise against using any products containing chlorine bleach.

▪ Steam with low heat to remove wrinkles:

To eliminate wrinkles in your bridal robes, use a steamer with low heat settings. This method is gentle on the fabric and effectively removes creases.

Bridal Veils

▪ Hang up your veil when you first receive it:

When you receive your bridal veil, it's a good practice to hang it up. This allows any initial wrinkles to naturally loosen over time.

▪ After a few days, gently steam out remaining wrinkles:

After the veil has hung for a few days, you can gently steam out any remaining wrinkles. It's important to use low heat and avoid ironing, as ironing can potentially discolor or damage the veil. 

▪ Store it hung and away from sunlight until your wedding day:

To preserve the veil's pristine appearance, store it by hanging it away from direct sunlight. This ensures that the fabric and any embellishments remain in excellent condition.

▪ Do not wash in the washing machine or soak it in water:

Washing the bridal veil in a machine or soaking it in water is not recommended, as it can damage the delicate fabric and embellishments. Instead, spot clean with a damp cloth or baby wipes using gentle dabbing movements to address any stains or spots.
