Wedding Gown Care Tips

When your wedding ceremony is over, you're not out of the woods as far as caring for your wedding gown is concerned. Yes, you made sure to protect it from hairspray and lipstick and sips of champagne before your ceremony, but there are other perils yet to come!

Here are some ways you can keep your most precious piece of clothing looking beautiful before, during, and after your wedding reception:

Be careful with the train when you and your new husband get into the car. Have someone help you with it and hand it to you as you sit down. Do not close it in the car door.

If everyone is blowing bubbles as you and your husband come out of the church, make certain you told someone to remind others to not to blow bubbles on your dress. The bubbles will pop and leave little stains on your dress.

Food and champagne stains can set quickly. Steer clear of your uncle if he drinks too much and walks around with chicken wings in his hand. Choose your wedding menu carefully -- avoid greasy finger foods and edibles apt to stain.

At most receptions, brides and grooms feed each other wedding cake. This is a lovely tradition, but be careful. Ask your spouse ahead of time NOT to squish cake in your face, as that cake can crumble onto your pristine wedding gown.

The best tip for keeping your wedding dress free of champagne spills and butter is to take it off immediately after the wedding ceremony. Choose a less expensive and fun reception dress to wear when you kick up your heels on the dance floor.
