After Wedding Services

How do you store a wedding dress? 

The best way to store a wedding dress after your wedding is in a garment bag, hung on a padded hanger. 

Alternatively, wrap your dress in chemical free tissue paper then place in a box. Store it away from direct sunlight. 

It’s best to have your wedding dress professionally cleaned and pressed before storing it. 

Prefer not to do it yourself? There are many great professionals who specialise in wedding dress preservation. 

Where can you donate an old wedding dress in Australia? 

If you don’t like the thought of leaving your wedding dress hanging up in a cupboard with no use or tucked away in a box, you may want to consider donating your wedding dress to a good cause. 

The Salvation Army accepts donations of wedding dresses, the dresses are either sold in stores or given to people who need them. If you’ve got an old wedding dress, you can drop it off at any one of their stores or contact them for details about how to send it in. 

The Red Cross is another organisation that accepts donations of old bridal gowns. They distribute them to women in need around Australia who may not be able to afford new ones. 

Angel gowns Australia is an organisation that makes angel gown garments for families that have sadly had a baby pass away. Angel gown garments are donated to hospitals, funeral homes and directly to families. Left over tulle is transformed in tutus and donated to hospitals and children’s charities across Australia to brighten the day of special kids.
