Gown Preservation
Protect Your Wedding Dress for a Lifetime
Your wedding dress is more than just a gown—it’s a memory of one of the most important days of your life. After a full day of dancing, photos, and celebrating, your gown can hold onto perspiration, body oils, makeup, food, wine, champagne, and other invisible residue.
Even when a gown looks clean, these substances can oxidize over time, leading to yellowing, permanent staining, creasing, mold, or mildew. Professional cleaning and preservation help protect your gown so you can treasure it for years to come.
Cleaning & Preservation Options
Cleaning Only: Includes one (1) accessory. A great option if you're planning to wear, repurpose, or sell your gown.
Cleaning + Preservation: Includes up to five (5) accessories. Ideal for keeping your dress protected and in beautiful condition for years to come.
Why Preservation Matters
For long-term protection, we recommend professional cleaning and preservation. Your gown is carefully cleaned using specialized, gentle methods and then prepared for long-term storage in an acid-neutral preservation chest.
The gown is fitted on an acid-free form, with shoulder and bust pads removed and placed beneath the gown to help prevent damage. Accessories can be packed alongside your gown, and you’ll be able to view your gown and veil through the kit’s display window.
Up to 95% of common stains can be removed, including perspiration, wine, food, mud, and sugar from cake or beverages.
A 100-year guarantee is included against yellowing or caramelized sugar stains. If either occurs, your gown can be reprocessed at no additional cost.
Preservation isn’t just about keeping your gown looking beautiful—it’s about protecting the memories attached to it. Properly preserved, your gown can be cherished for generations, passed down, or simply kept as a beautiful reminder of your wedding day.
Storage Tip: Avoid storing your gown in an attic, garage, basement, or other areas exposed to temperature and humidity fluctuations.
