Bridal Gown Care

A guide to preserving the garment that carries your story.

A Blanc gown is crafted to hold memory, artistry, and emotion. Whether worn just once or cherished for generations, it deserves to be cared for with the same intention in which it was created.

Below, we’ve outlined thoughtful recommendations for caring for your custom gown before, during, and after your wedding day.

  • Your gown is more than fabric — it’s a legacy piece. To preserve its beauty before and after the ceremony:

    • Store in a Cool, Dry Space: Choose a dark, well-ventilated environment away from sunlight, heat, or humidity. A breathable cotton garment bag or under-bed storage box is ideal.

    • Avoid Plastic Covers: Plastic can trap moisture, causing mildew and fabric yellowing over time.

    • Have It Professionally Cleaned First: Even invisible marks (like perspiration or champagne) can set in. We recommend cleaning your gown promptly after the wedding.

    • Use Acid-Free Tissue: Place tissue between folds to protect against creasing. Avoid any tissue with colour or dye.

    • Check Periodically: Gently inspect your gown every few months if stored long-term. If you notice changes or damage, consult a professional.

  • Life happens — and if your gown comes into contact with water or other substances, here’s what to do:

    • If Wet: Gently blot the affected area with a clean, white cloth. Let it air dry away from heat. Avoid rubbing or using household dryers.

    • If Stained (Makeup, Wine, etc.): Resist the urge to treat the area at home. Blot gently and contact a bridal gown specialist as soon as possible.

    • When in Doubt: Always seek professional guidance. Timely, expert care prevents permanent damage and preserves your gown’s integrity.

  • A professional cleaning service is essential to honour your gown’s craftsmanship — and ensure it can be loved again, whether by you or the generations that follow.

    We recommend choosing a provider that specialises in bridal couture, with experience in:

    • Delicate Fabric Handling: From French lace to silk organza, your gown requires a gentle, practiced hand.

    • Expert Stain Removal: Professional techniques can treat even the most stubborn stains without compromising fabric integrity.

    • Eco-Friendly Processes: Choose a team that values both your gown and the planet.

    • Post-Cleaning Inspection: Loose beading, threads, or embellishments should be checked and secured.

    • Preservation Packaging: Once cleaned, your gown should be stored in acid-free packaging that protects its shape and beauty.
