Steamery unveil wedding care outfit guide in time for summer celebrations
Are you getting married this summer and want to know how to take care of your wedding dress, bridesmaids' gowns and suits before, during and after the big day? Then check out Steamery, the Scandinavian clothing care brand that has unveiled tips for caring for your wedding outfits. We catch up with co-founder Frej Lewenhaupt to find out more. He tells us, "Before the wedding, the primary task is to make sure your dress or suit is kept in perfect condition for the big day. Good preparation beforehand will minimize the risk of extra maintenance during your wedding day. So make sure that you store your dress or suit in a garment bag that's meant for storage. Never opt for one made of plastic because it may trap moisture that can cause the garment to catch mould and odours or get stained. The only time to use a plastic bag is during transport, to protect the outfit from bad weather. Heavy dresses should be stored lying down, for instance under the bed. Lighter dresses, tuxedos and suits should be kept hanging in their garment bag. Protect them from direct sunlight because it can make white fabrics turn yellow. It's best to store your precious pieces in a dry and dark place where they aren't cramped with other garments.
