AFTER YOU SAY ‘YES TO THE DRESS’ Steps to Take to Make Your Wedding Dress Sparkle
for unidentified flying objects (UFOs)! July 2 is World UFO Day, commemorating the supposed UFO crash that took place in 1974 in Roswell, New Mexico. Everyone knows about the strange things that happened in Roswell, but let’s look at a few lesser-known, but no less strange, UFO sightings. THE FIRST FLYING SAUCER On June 24, 1947, civilian pilot Kenneth Arnold was flying his plane near Mount Rainier in Washington when he reported seeing nine blue, glowing objects flying in a V formation at around 1,700 mph. Arnold would later describe the crafts’ motions like “a saucer if you skip it across water.” The government confirmed there were no aircraft tests in the area that day. In the following weeks, other sightings of Arnold’s flying saucers would crop up across the region. THE RENDLESHAM FOREST INCIDENT Things got weird at a Royal Air Force military base in England on Dec. 26, 1980. At around 3 a.m., two Air Force members saw odd lights falling into the nearby Rendlesham Forest. They reported finding a metallic object giving off lights and still moving. The object was gone when police arrived, but they found unusual markings at the site. A few days later, more servicemen went into the forest where they spotted three mysterious bright lights in the sky that shone for hours. EAST COAST GO FAST VIDEO In 2015, a U.S. Navy Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet strike fighter captured video of a bizarre, fast-moving object that had no visible wings and emitted no heat or no exhaust trail. The video, which can be viewed at COI. ToTheStarsAcademy.com/2015-go-fast-footage , shows the object in the fighter’s targeting system. The pilot and the weapon systems officer can be heard shouting and asking, “What is that, man?” The video leaked in 2017 along with news of the Advanced Aviation Threat Identification Program (AATIP), a secret U.S. government organization investigating UFOs. Most UFO sightings have rational explanations. Even the famous Roswell Incident was proven to be debris from a surveillance program the U.S. military used to spy on the Soviet Union. But there’s something to be said about how a UFO sighting makes us look up at the night sky and wonder if we’re not alone.
With nearly 10% of all weddings taking place in the month of July, our team at Janet Davis Cleaners figured there couldn’t be a better time to talk about wedding dress cleaning and care. Every dress is special to the bride who plans on wearing it, and some of the dresses we clean have been passed down through generations and are, therefore, extremely delicate. To that end, here are some tips, tricks, and advice to help get the dress you love looking its best for the big day. OUT WITH THE NEW AND IN WITH THE OLD Finding the perfect wedding dress is like finding the Holy Grail. However, many brides-to-be aren’t inspired by new wedding dresses. They want something unique with a creative edge that highlights their style and individualism. What they need is the perfect “lightly loved” vintage gown to fit their perfect wedding dress vision. Using wedding dress restoration, our team can help brides “wow” their guests on the big day with something old made new. TO CLEAN OR NOT TO CLEAN There are many reasons you may need to clean your wedding gown before you tie the knot. Cleaning a bridal gown always comes with risks, so if it’s not dirty, don’t clean it. But if you purchased a sample gown, chances are you’ll want to get it cleaned before you wear it. Even if the gown looks clean, keep in mind that possibly dozens of people have tried that gown on before you purchased it. Start by looking for dirt at the hemline, but also look at the bust and underarm area. If there are any areas of concern, you will want to take care of those now, not later. WHERE TO START You will always want to use a wedding dress dry cleaner that specializes in cleaning wedding gowns. Most places only see a handful of gowns per year, so avoid those when you need to clean your cherished gown before your wedding. You will want to select a dry cleaner that cleans wedding dresses every day. If you have any questions about this process, please don’t hesitate to let us know. We know the decision to clean your dress can be stressful, and we want to help every step of the way!
