You "said yes to the dress', you said yes to your fiance, you've said yes to the wedding cake and now you're married. What happens to that beautiful, expensive wedding gown on Monday? It SHOULD be going on a little honeymoon of it's own, to Hallak Cleaners in Hackensack, NJ. Hallak is truly an artisinal, bespoke preservation company. They are familiar and comfortable with the intricate and costly details that make your dress so fantastic.
Hallak can be your partner (well, your OTHER partner) every step of the way, from wedding gown alternations, to pre-wedding steaming and pressing to cleaning and preserving after the last glass of champagne has been enjoyed!
Donna, their wedding guru, sent along some of her sage advice.
Pre-Wedding Tip: For the best fit, be sure to wear all items that you plan on wearing with your wedding dress (shoes, undergarments). For the whole picture? Don't forget jewelry and your wedding veil (which may need some steaming too).
During the Wedding Tip Your wedding day is a long one, from first look to last dance; the Hallak emergency kit has everything you need from a sewing kit to sequins to hair spray. A must have for every bride, and what a perfect gift too!
Post-Wedding Tip: Unsure of what you are going to do with your gown? Even if you are not prepared to clean your gown, please step away from the plastic bag. Garments should be able to breath. And don’t forget- stains that are currently ‘invisible’ may discolor over time, so don't wait too long!
