How we handle it
A wedding gown is cleaned by hand, one section at a time. Sugar, sweat and champagne dry clear and turn yellow later, so we treat the marks you cannot see as well as the ones you can.
Beads, sequins and glued trims are checked first. If any of them will not survive cleaning, we call you before we start.

- A walk-through of the gown with you at drop-off
- Photos of any marks and trims, sent to you by text

Good to know
Bring it in soon
The sooner after the wedding, the better. Stains set over months, not days.
Keep it out of plastic
Plastic traps moisture and yellows fabric. A cotton bag or our box is better.
Common questions
Why does preservation take 6 to 8 weeks?
Because the clear stains need to be treated, rested and checked again. Rushing that part is how gowns yellow in the box.
Can I see the gown before you seal it?
Yes. We text you when it is ready for a look. Come in, check it, and we seal the box in front of you.
What customers say
“They walked through my gown with me, took photos of the hem and the beading, and texted me before treating a mark near the train. The box looks lovely.”
