Do I need to have my wedding dress cleaned before sending to your company?
No, Wedding Gown Preservation Company will handle all the cleaning of your gown to ensure a proper preservation.
What exactly is the process you use to clean the gown?
We have several different processes that are used for cleaning. Each gown is evaluated upon its arrival and the best cleaning process for that particular gown is used. All of our processes are safe, gentle and environmentally safe. Your gown is then fitted on an acid-free bust form and packed in our acid-neutral preservation chest. Please note shoulder pads and bust pads must be removed as they could cause damage to the gown over time. They will be wrapped in tissue paper and packed underneath your gown.
What stains are removed with your process?
We are able to remove approximately 95% of all stains - including tar, blood, perspiration, grass, mud, grease, and food, being the most common, as well as any sugar stains from cake icing, wine and other beverages.
What can be seen in the display window?
You will be able to view your gown and veil. Any other items will be positioned at the bottom of the window, where possible, or packed underneath your dress.
What kinds of repairs are done to the gown?
Wedding Gown Preservation Company prides itself on having a highly trained staff that can handle most repairs for a nominal fee. Please note on your paperwork if you would like a call with a repair quote.
How long will I have to wait for my gown?
Please allow 2-10 weeks to receive your gown back to be assured that your gown receives the individual attention it deserves.
If I want to declare that my wedding dress is of more value, what do I need to do?
