WEDDING DRESS CLEANING & PRESERVATION

Wedding Dress Cleaning and Preservation

Your wedding day is special and we know about the time and energy that goes into choosing the perfect wedding gown. Because of this, your wedding dress should receive the care and safekeeping needed to preserve both the gown and the wonderful memories.

Let us give your wedding dress the final touch by professionally steaming and hand-finishing your gown to perfection. We can also remove any small make-up stains and spot clean your gown if necessary. We will then carefully package your dress with a bust form and tissue to maintain its body and drape. It is then placed in a protective poly bag to prevent soiling while in transit to you for the big occasion.

Wedding Dress Stain Removal

After the wonderful day is finally over, the honeymoon trip occurs.  Unfortunately and too often, the beautiful gown is stuffed in a corner, thrown on top of a chair, put under a bed or jammed in a closet. Finally, weeks or months later, someone thinks about cleaning and preserving the expensive wedding gown.

Since many stains, especially alcohol and sugar, tend to be harder to remover over time, it is a good idea to bring your wedding dress to us for stain removals and treatment as soon as possible after the wedding. Cleaning, treating and preserving your wedding gown as soon as possible after the wedding ensures that your dress remains in the best condition possible. Ideally, your wedding gown should be cleaned, treated and preserved within days of your wedding.
