Aftercare

Caring for your wedding dress after you have worn it on arguably the most important day of your life so far, is something many of us wouldn't even think about. Although you may not plan on wearing it again, restoring it to the condition it was when you purchased it has its benefits.

These are just a few ideas and if any apply to you, Rachel Ash offer an aftercare package priced from £190-£350.

The price depends on the size of the dress and box required. We do also offer a clean-only service for £120-£180 depending on the size of the dress. Give us a call or email us and we can arrange this for you.

Man and women making a heart with their hands

Hand me down

If you are lucky enough to have a daughter, why not start up your own tradition of handing down your wedding dress for her to wear or re use on her wedding day. If perhaps because fashions change, they do not want to wear the exact dress, sections could be used and incorporated into their dress.
