The Q: What do we do if I get a stain on my wedding dress?
Whenever I can unpretentiously quote Shakespeare in a blog post, I'm secretly thrilled. This weekend, we happily worked on the wedding of Debbie and Sonny- an awesome couple who married at a scenic golf course in one of 3 wedding celebrations! I got the call I dread though before they even left the hotel room! There was a spot, a GREASY spot, on one of the bridesmaids dresses. I thought, it would be a great service to offer a mini lesson (from Martha Stewart) on how to treat spots on most wedding fabrics!
* Grease Stains/Oil - For an oily mark, blot with talcum powder. For a greasier mess, try using rubbing alcohol on the area. For a bridesmaids dress (not a white bridal gown) if this doesn't work, use DAWN dishwashing liquid.
* Ink Stains. Evaluate how bad the stain is. Hairspray and a toothbrush works, but I would just let things lie on your wedding dress.
*Make up- CLUB SODA!!!!
* Chalk! Sometimes chalk can delicately cover up a mark of dirt, at least long enough to get you down the aisle.
* You should avoid (on most wedding gowns or bridesmaids gowns) bleach pens, or anything like that which might damage the fabric.
Do you have any great tips to share for stain removal?
