After your wedding, you get busy planning and packing for your honeymoon and after you return from your holiday, you get caught up in adjusting into your new life.

Send them out to the dry cleaners the next day and preserve them carefully.

Your wedding stylist must have used some hair accessories or even jewellery on you that you took on rent. Before the rent per day reaches a whopping amount, have them sent over to the stylist the very next day.
