What does gown preservation involve?
Your gown will be inspected upon arrival then fully cleaned, with any delicate areas hand cleaned. The dress is then pressed to eliminate unnecessary creasing before being inspected again and then packed. Gowns are packed using acid free packing materials and secured inside the box to prevent movement.
Why preserve your gown?
Here are some of the top reasons to heirloom your gown:
- You want to wear it again when you renew your vows in 10 years.
- Preserve it for your daughter to wear or keep.
- Use the gown to make christening or communion outfits for your children.
When to preserve?
Preserve your gown as soon after your wedding as possible. This prevents stains from remaining in the fabric that could yellow the material over time. Designate someone to take your gown for preservation while you are on your honeymoon. This way both you and your gown get treated to a little pampering after the stresses of your big day!
How long does it take?
You can expect to receive your gown in 6-8 weeks. Gowns are shipped directly to your front door at no additional cost.
How much does it cost?
The cost for preserving your gown including insurance and shipping is $175. You can also include up to 4 extra pieces with your gown at no extra cost. All of the items will be packaged in one box.
