Preserve Your Wedding Dress
Expert cleaning + care for your gown
What is wedding dress preservation and why should you do it?
Wedding dress preservation is a specialized cleaning and packaging process designed to protect a wedding gown from yellowing, stains, and fabric deterioration over time. The goal is to ensure that the dress remains in excellent condition for decades, whether for sentimental reasons, future use, or as a keepsake.
Cleaning and preserving your wedding dress is essential for maintaining its beauty over time. Even if stains aren't visible, they can set in and cause yellowing. Immediate professional cleaning prevents this and ensures the fabric remains pristine. Preservation protects delicate fabrics and embellishments by shielding the gown from dust, moisture, and environmental pollutants. If you're planning to pass down your gown or keep it as a keepsake, preservation is key to protecting it long-term!
When should you bring in your wedding dress to be cleaned and preserved?
We encourage our brides to bring in their gowns within a few weeks of their wedding. If that's not possible, proper storage is crucial until you're able to preserve it, so store it in a cool, dry, dark place to prevent damage. Been a few years? Don't panic! Our partner company has been restoring gowns sitting in closets for upwards of 20 years since 1913!
Who Does Adorn partner with for dress cleaning and preservation?
Adorn Bridal partners with Wedding Gown Preservation Company, the industry leading experts for all things preservation. Founded in 1913, they have a 100-year anti-yellowing guarantee. Should your gown ever show signs of yellowing or develop caramelized stains, they will reprocess it free of charge. If the reprocessing does not succeed, they will reimburse the preservation fee.
Do I need an appointment to drop off my dress for cleaning and preservation? What if I don't live close by?
Yes! Once you've purchased your package online using the link below, you will be directed to book an appointment to review your dress and information in-store, plus receive tracking information.
Live far from our locations? Don't worry! Instead of booking an appointment to drop off your dress in-store, you can have a preservation + cleaning kit shipped directly to your home with easy-to-use instructions.
Can I purchase a package even if I didn't get my wedding gown from Adorn?
Yes, of course! Whether you purchased your wedding dress from us or not, we are here to help ensure your gown lasts a lifetime and beyond.
