    Was your dress pre-owned? Typically, the dress is just steamed before you wear it and dry cleaned after.

    So then I don't think you need to dry clean it beforehand. I mean, you can if you want. But I would save the money.

    Yeah I wouldn't, you don't want it to get accidentally ruined or anything.

    Definitely don’t, there are many horror stories about dry cleaning gone wrong.

    I would say not to, especially if your wedding dress has beading. Sometimes the high temperatures from dry cleaning, or even steaming your dress for too long on your wedding day will melt beads.
