To ensure your gown remains in pristine condition before, during, and after your special event, please review the following care recommendations carefully.

1. Professional Cleaning

Your gown should only be cleaned by a specialist experienced in bridal and haute couture garments.

Important:

• Do not machine wash.
• Do not use standard dry-cleaning services.
• Always choose a professional bridal gown cleaning specialist.

2. Handling Your Gown

Delicate fabrics, embellishments, and lace require careful handling.

Please:

• Handle your gown with clean hands or wear gloves when possible.
• Avoid direct contact with perfumes, makeup, self-tanners, hairspray, and other cosmetic products.
• Be mindful of jewelry or accessories that may snag delicate fabrics.

3. Proper Storage

Correct storage helps preserve the shape, fabric, and detailing of your gown.

Recommended Storage:

• Hang your gown on a padded hanger.
• Store it inside a breathable garment bag.
• Keep it in a cool, dry, and dark environment away from sunlight and humidity.
• For heavily embellished or heavier gowns, flat storage with acid-free tissue paper is recommended to prevent stretching.

4. Traveling With Your Gown

If you are transporting your gown for a wedding or destination event:

We recommend:

• Using a bridal travel box or high-quality gown bag.
• Gently folding the gown with acid-free tissue paper between layers to minimize creasing.
• Avoid placing heavy luggage on top of the gown during transport.

5. Long-Term Preservation

For brides wishing to keep their gown as a cherished keepsake:

Best Practice:

• Consult a professional gown preservation service after the wedding.
• Store the gown in an acid-free preservation box.
• Place acid-free tissue paper between folds to protect delicate fabrics and embellishments.

6. Alterations & Repairs

To maintain the integrity and craftsmanship of your gown:

Important:

• Alterations and repairs should only be performed by experienced couture seamstresses.
• Unauthorized alterations may affect the fit, structure, or delicate detailing of the gown.
• Contact The Four Vows Boutique for trusted alteration recommendations.
