Wedding Gown Preservation

You went to great lengths to make the wedding memorable, but are you doing anything to keep your wedding dress as you remember it? Up there with the rings, the photographs, and the mental snapshots, the wedding dress is one of the more important keepsakes from your big day, but many people do not realize that preserving it goes well beyond just sticking it in a box or plastic bag at the back of the closet. We have seen the damage that can be done by keeping a dress in a box and subjecting it to years of temperature fluctuations, and sealing it in a bag with even a tiny amount of moisture from the atmosphere can do significant amount of damage over time.

Our cleaning and preservation process allows you to pull out—and possibly pass down—your wedding dress with confidence. It provides the best protection, guarding it from yellowing, mold, and mildew. After we hand clean and air dry your wedding gown, it is layered with acid-free tissue and gently folded into our acid-free, museum-quality chest. Our process is so thorough that we ask owners to wear a pair of white gloves for the inspections of the gown in the unsealed chest. After your inspection, the chest is then wrapped in muslin.

Most wedding gowns are hand cleaned and preserved in a museum-quality, acid-free wedding chest for $385; Veils are included at no extra charge. Additional costs will be incurred for:

  • Detachable trains: $25

Wedding Gown Preservation FAQ

How long does it take?

  • Wedding gown preservation takes three to four days for normal processing.
  • Some companies make you wait up to six months to get your wedding gown back. We really don’t know why they take so long; but, we think 3 to 4 day service should be the standard.

Can I inspect my wedding dress once it has been cleaned and preserved?

  • Absolutely! We encourage you to look over your wedding dress with a pair of white gloves, which we provide to you at no extra charge. Some cleaners seal their boxes, in an attempt to maintain the preservation. We NEVER seal a wedding dress in a box, as sealing traps moisture and promotes mold and mildew growth. We package your wedding gown in a museum-quality, acid-free preservation container covered with a muslin wrap.
