Why Should I Preserve My Wedding Gown?

It’s completely optional to clean and preserve your wedding gown. However, we strongly suggest it, especially if you want to keep it. You might believe that hanging your wedding dress in your closet or putting it into a storage container is better.

Here are a few reasons you should look into wedding gown preservation and cleaning:

1. Over time, your wedding gown could be exposed to contaminants like dust, mold, and more. When humidity gets high, so do the chances of mold growth.
2. The delicate fabric in wedding gowns is susceptible to yellowing when stains aren’t treated in time. Even if you didn’t spill anything on your dress, think about how hectic your wedding day was. You were probably dancing around with sweat stains under your arms or hugging your guests. Makeup residue could be left on your gown. Not to mention the food you were enjoying, which could’ve left stains.
3. You can preserve the dress in pristine condition as a special keepsake. Whether you want to pass it down to your daughter, or just want to remember your special day, wedding gown preservation is worth it.

There are so many reasons to preserve your wedding dress. Our experienced process ensures a risk-free way of preserving your wedding day. You won’t regret it.

Wedding Gown Cleaning

Our museum-quality practices ensure that meticulous care is provided before we begin the preservation process. We take extra measures to remove any seen and unseen stains on your wedding dress. This includes everything from sweat stains and food spills to makeup dust.

Certain stains can’t be removed during regular dry cleaning. Only a process known as ‘restoration’ can remove these stains. We also take every precaution to protect the delicate beads, embroidery and lace of your wedding dress.

Wedding Gown Preservation

As members of the Association of Wedding Gown Specialists, we’ll inspect each gown before the preservation process. Then, your wedding dress is layered with acid-free tissue and folded into an archival-quality wedding chest. This will protect it from any exposure to light or mildew. Better yet, this process that doesn’t require any chemicals.

Can I Remove My Gown After the Wedding Gown Preservation Process?
