Association of Wedding Gown Specialists

Katie Martin Speaking Engagement

I had a fabulous time speaking at the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists Convention in Albuquerque, New Mexico earlier this month.  One of the most important things that I learned coming out of the convention is that a lot of brides don’t think about the issue of care of their gowns after the wedding is over.  When you buy your gown, start thinking about what you will do with your dress after the wedding.  Preserving your dress and cleaning it is essential for the next generation to where it or for you to resell your dress on any number of websites.  Our favorites are:

One of the reasons they asked me to come speak is that all of the members of the Associates of Wedding Gown Preservation Specialist use a special ZeroCarbon Gown Preservation process and are the leaders in their cities for providing the best service with the lowest carbon footprint!  Check out how it works here:

Stay green and stylish and get that dress cleaned after the wedding and don’t TRASH the dress afterwards.  Ok – you can take some photos – but don’t set the dress on fire (which I have actually seen on a photographer’s blog), go knee deep in the mudd or submerge your dress in water if the fabric can’t handle it.  There are lots of ways to have a “Trash the Dress” photoshoot after the wedding without actually trashing the dress! Let me know how you plan to have a trash the dress photoshoot and maybe we will feature it here on the blog!
