Delayed Wedding?
Wedding Dress Storage during Covid
If you have been forced to make the very difficult decision to postpone your wedding and have already bought your wedding dress you are probably worried about what to do with it between now & then.
To ensure that it continues to look it’s best on your ‘Big Day’ (whenever that may be) it’s best to store it in the right conditions. We stock Ireland’s largest selection of bridal boxes, all acid free and lignan free, designed to preserve your wedding dress for an extended period of time.
The box keeps your dress away from light, prevents it from getting dusty or dirty or from discolouring. Your wedding veil can also be stored in the same box.
The 'DOs' and 'DONTs' of Wedding Dress Storage
DON’T use coloured tissue paper, even acid free when storing your wedding dress. It contains dye which will affect the colour of the dress. Tissue paper to pack a wedding dress should be white and acid free … we’ll provide this along with your box
DON’T store your bridal box in a plastic bag – it needs to breathe
DON’T keep your bridal box in a damp environment or in direct sunlight.
DON’T worry – we have this!
DO make sure that you are using a box specifically designed for storing wedding dresses long term
DO make sure that your dress is perfectly clean before you put it into the box
DO used acid free tissue paper to protect your dress
DO store the box in a cool, dry environment
DO check your dress regularly to make sure it’s ok – some of our bridal boxes have ‘viewing windows’ which allow you to do this without exposing it to the environment
DO look forward to brighter days and walking up the aisle in your gorgeous dress
