Why should I preserve my wedding gown?
- Stains (especially invisible sugar stains) will continually set in and yellow a gown as it ages. By removing them early on you ensure your gown stays the same color as the day you wore it for decades after the preservation
- Give you children or grand children the option of re-wearing your wedding gown as styles come and go. We’ve re-preserved dresses that have been re-worn for hundreds of brides over the years.
- Humidity and sunlight both rapidly deteriorate delicate fabrics. The wedding dress preservation kit has UV protection and seam sealing built in to protect your gown against these elements.
- It’s affordable! We partner with The Wedding Gown Preservation Company, the most trusted name in the preservation business, and can save you hundreds of dollars as compared with using your local dry cleaner.
