A Green Idea for Taking Care of Your Wedding Dress

If you’re using an heirloom wedding dress, or you’d like your future daughter to have the option of doing so, you need to have your dress properly cleaned and stored. The Association of Wedding Gown Specialists is an organization of dry cleaners that specializes in restoring and preserving wedding dresses. As you know, we like to keep things as green as possible here at onewed, but regular dry cleaning is anything but environmentally friendly. That’s why we’re glad The Association has teamed up with carbonfund.org in a special project: zerocarbon wedding gown preservations. If you choose, the cost of having your gown preserved can include a donation to carbonfund.org. Visit the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists to find a participating cleaner in your area, and to get some great tips on caring for your wedding dress. We’ve mentioned it before, but carbonfund.org also has a great calculator for helping you figure out the carbon footprint of your wedding.

Just out of curiosity, will you be wearing a family wedding dress? Does it have a good story?
