Escape the Cold and Elope

The current temperatures in and around Toronto are causing most of us to think about packing our bags and heading off to a beach somewhere far, far away, but if you got engaged over the holidays, you might also be dreaming of a destination wedding. The romance of saying, “I do” with the sound of waves crashing over the sand is tempting for anyone, let alone someone starting to plan with the sound of snow ploughs outside her window.

 

We don’t want to influence your decision, but if you’re starting to go down that road and are thinking about logistics, we can help. One of the biggest concerns brides have with a destination wedding is whether or not they can trust their wedding gown to arrive safely at its destination. They have nightmares of arriving in Tahiti only to discover that their perfect gown is hanging out somewhere in Chicago and by the time it gets to them, it is damaged from its journey. Thankfully, as wedding gown cleaning and preservation specialists, we know a thing or two about caring for wedding gowns and can get your dress from your home to your dream destination without any issues.

Parkers offers a Destination Wedding Kit for brides traveling for their weddings and wanting to remain in possession of the most important garment of the day. These kits fit comfortably in airplane overhead compartments, so you’ll be able to keep an eye on your dress the entire flight and they also come with all kinds of extra supplies to ensure that your day goes off without a hitch.

First, we provide instructions and plenty of acid free paper so you can pack up your dress safely before you go and also so you can repack your dress to bring it home after the wedding. A stain stick is included just in case you have a wedding day emergency and a sturdy carton keeps the entire kit safe and sound. See? We’ve got you covered!

Now, the only thing you have to worry about is which gloriously hot, sunny location you want to tie the knot in. Wow, this is really making us want to escape the cold!

Once you return from your dream destination wedding, make sure you schedule for Parkers Custom Clothing Care to pick up your wedding gown so we can clean and preserve it for you. We are members of the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists, so you can trust that your gown is in great hands. We’ll return it to you ready to be carefully stowed away as a keepsake of your incredible wedding day.
