Individual Inspection
Every gown receives a thorough, one-on-one evaluation. We identify each stain by type and location, mapping out a personalized treatment plan before any cleaning begins.
Museum-Like Wedding Gown Process
Wedding Gown
Cleaning & Preservation
Your wedding dress holds the memories of your most treasured day. Our four-step preservation process protects every bead, stitch, and layer so your gown stays as beautiful as the moment you said “I do.”
Our Four-Step Process
From Celebration to Keepsake
Every gown that enters our care goes through a meticulous, four-stage preservation journey. Each step is performed by hand, with the patience and attention your dress deserves.
Hand Cleaning & Restoration
Our specialists gently clean your gown by hand, treating each stain individually with solutions matched to the fabric. Beading, lace, and delicate embellishments are protected throughout the process.
Acid-Free Protection
Your cleaned gown is wrapped in acid-free tissue and materials that prevent yellowing and fiber breakdown over time. This museum-grade approach keeps your dress looking just as it did on your wedding day.
Gold Keepsake Enclosure
The final step: your gown is placed in our signature Gold Keepsake display enclosure, designed to let you admire your dress while keeping it sealed and protected for generations.
Why Preservation Matters
Act Within Three Weeks
The sooner your gown receives professional care after the wedding, the better the results. Stains that seem minor today can become permanent within weeks.
Invisible Stains Surface Over Time
Champagne, perspiration, and oils may be invisible the night of your wedding. Left untreated, they oxidize into permanent brown or yellow spots within weeks.
Fabric Degrades Without Proper Storage
Hanging a gown in a plastic bag exposes it to humidity, acids, and light. Professional acid-free enclosure prevents yellowing and fiber breakdown year after year.
A Family Heirloom Worth Protecting
Many brides dream of passing their dress to a daughter or granddaughter. Museum-quality preservation makes that possible, keeping your gown wedding-ready for decades.
