Wedding Dress Preservation is a means of preserving a garments appearance and quality as good as the day that the garment was preserved. If left out without preserving in some form of acid free box your garment, especially delicate ones, can yellow and fade. Museums preserve dresses and other heirlooms to ensure that no discoloration, fading or yellowing will happen to the dress. Preserving your wedding dress will guarantee your garment will stay in the same state as the day it was preserved for a lifetime.

How The Preservation Process Works

We first analyze your entire wedding dress or other garment for what type of fabric it is and also any and all stains that are on the garment. Stain removal is the most important part of the wedding gown preservation process. Light stains such as white wine and other hard to see stains can damage your wedding dress with time. Substances such as sugar as well. That is why we thoroughly pre-spot your wedding dress before dry cleaning and pressing the gown before preservation. After all stains are removed and the gown is pressed next your wedding dress is carefully wrapped in acid paper that ensures your wedding dress or garment will not age a bit. Also your gown should be removed from any extreme temperature area like direct sunlight and should be preferably stored in a cool dry place.

Why Preserve Your Wedding Dress?

Gown preservation is a great idea for anyone who wants to possibly have their daughter wear their Wedding Dress on their wedding day or anyone who wants to preserve any garment in the state that it’s currently in. A wedding dress should be preserved if it is not going to be used for at least three years. Although some experts say it’s OK to wait up to six months after the wedding before preserving the dress at the very minimum it should be dry cleaned immediately after your wedding to avoid any damage the dress might incur due to unforeseen stains.
