On your wedding day it's going to get stepped on, dragged through dust and grub. Unless you wrap it in cellophane it's going to get dirty but a good dry cleaner will be able to sort it fir you xxx

Aside from staying inside on clean floors? or keeping it hooked up the entire time, off the floor? no.
Fact is, it will get dirty, and in all honesty, if you're anything like me, and most women, you'll be enjoying your day too much to worry. The dress is to be worn, and enjoyed. Just get it dry cleaned after. What do you need to keep it pristine for? as long as it looks good on the day, you're unlikely to wear it again :)

It will get dirty there is no way to avoid that. But taking it to a good dry cleaners as soon after the wedding as possible is the best thing to do. They should be able to get most if not all the marks out x

I think it's quite impossible to be honest, as lovely as it would be for it to stay pristine you are going to be walking allover even dance floors won't be spotless, all I can say is find a good dry cleaner afterwards, just enjoy your day don't worry about muck unless it's filthy before you even get to the alter after that people will defo not be bothered about some muck.

My seamstress has the option of adding a bustle I think it's called?

We got married on Friday, so for the pictures I just lifted my train to keep it clean in pictures but once the evening came i just left it. Your enjoying yourself too much to be worrying about keeping your dress clean or anything else. All I can say is just enjoy your day/night and don't worry about your dress as it can easily be dry cleaned x

Mine got filthy - it had twigs and grass in it, dirt all over it and footprints on it, all before the meal!! I was mortified but once the meal was over and the party started I hooked it up using the bustle my seamstress fitted and forgot all about it because I was having too much fun. I've just sent it off to johnsons bridal department to be dry cleaned so fingers crossed it comes back good as new!!! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
