Months of planning go into this single, special day. A wedding gown isn’t just a dress, it’s a part of one’s life story. It is important to plan for a gown’s cleaning and preservation procedure, remembering the key to a successful preservation is to begin the process as soon as possible after the wedding.

Bridal gowns receive a thorough inspection for loose beading, appliqué, and other minor repairs. Special attention is devoted to minor stains which left unattended can turn yellow or brown over time. This is followed by a meticulous and thorough cleaning and hand-finishing. Finally, a gown undergoes a series of additional inspections before it is deemed ready for careful folding and placement into a museum-quality, acid-free preservation box originally designed for the Smithsonian Institution.
