so i'm a little bit lost and unsure of what to do.

 

i bought my dress about a month ago and i'm getting married in a year. so! here's the thing: it was a sample, which means it's got a little dirt around the hem, but other than that it's pretty clean.

 

should i not bother drycleaning it at all because i need to get the hem chopped off anyway?...and because i'm getting married on a beach where it's going to get dirty...

 

if i should clean it - any of you brides that happen to be in the bay, i would love some referrals of a good drycleaner. i'm soooo scared to bring my dress to one!

 

also, i've been told to wrap it in a white sheet in the garment bag to store it. will this prevent it from yellowing? do i even need to worry about yellowing over the course of a year?

 

thanks in advance for any advice on this... popcorn.gif

I would dryclean it - but it is definitely your preference...have you asked the store where you bought the dress who they recommend? they always have a drycleaner they like

 

as far as yellowing - I really don't think you have anything to worry about - I'm pretty sure it takes years to yellow

Jess had a great suggestion, check with your bridal shop where you purchased for a drycleaner recommendation.
I used to own a drycleaner and agree with both of these. As for the yellowing, it will only yellow if it's exposed to the sun/light. As long as you keep it in a sealed garment bag it won't yellow.

thanks, ladies! i will try to call the salon...i guess i've been hesitant because i don't know think they are even open any more!! it was sak's bridal salon though, so maybe regular sak's women's dept can help.

 

i'm sure whoever it is that will do my alterations will be able to recommend a drycleaner.

 

call me crazy, but i have this ridiculous fear of bringing my dress into a drycleaner! lol. smile125.gif

      Cabo Azul Wedding Cost / Review

      By Emmma · Posted

      Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!

      Wedding venues and wedding planner in Costa Rica

      By KristinaH · Posted

      Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
