How it Works

Wedding Dress Preservation

Gown preservation is a very specialized process. Your valuable wedding or special occasion dress will be carefully evaluated, receiving individualized treatment based on the fabric type and stains, ensuring it remains as beautiful as the day you wore it, and can be passed on to future generations.

Specialized Cleaning

It is imperative to thoroughly remove all organic matter from wedding gowns after wearing. Sugar, alcohol and salt stains (from sweat) are very common on wedding gowns. These stains are nearly impossible to see when they are new. But as they break down over the years, these "invisible" stains will begin to turn the fabric of the gown yellow or brown. A professional dry cleaning process is necessary to remove these types of stains, ensuring the gown will remain in its current pristine condition.

Keepsake Preservation

Your thoroughly cleaned gown is carefully folded in acid-free paper to prevent permanent creasing and damage or discoloration. The folded gown is then placed into a sealed clear vinyl bag to protect from contaminants like moisture or insects. You can also opt to include additional items, such as a veil, in the bag. The bag will be stored in a decorative outer box, protecting it from damaging UV light. You can open the flap on the box to view your gown.
