Can I touch my preserved wedding dress?
Absolutely! Your preserved wedding dress can still be admired and enjoyed, but it’s important to handle it with care. We recommend wearing clean cotton gloves when touching the dress to avoid transferring any oils from your skin that could cause yellowing over time. If gloves aren’t available, make sure to wash your hands thoroughly before handling the dress.
If you’ve also preserved other items like your garter, shoes, or jewelry, it’s a good idea to ask our preservation experts about the best ways to handle and care for those items after they’ve been cleaned and packaged. With proper care, your preserved wedding dress and accessories can be cherished keepsakes for generations to come.
