I had a lot of trouble dress shopping and could not find a wedding dress that I loved. My mother-in-law asked me if I would like to wear her 30-year-old wedding dress. She said I could alter it and make it however I wanted. I took it to a tailor and they helped me figure out how to make it the dress of my dreams. The problem was that it is a dress older than me and it had already been through one wedding. It needed some love. I took it to Oakwood before my wedding and they returned the shine and the beauty in the dress. It truly became the dress of my dreams.
My dream dress took a beating during the reception from dancing and whatnot. Some of the original beads had come off, some of the original lace was torn, and the lace hem was so dirty. I thought I had ruined it. I was terrified. I took it back to Oakwood and they once again performed a miracle and the dress is back to being the dress of my dreams. They removed every single inch of dirt and it looks as if they found replacements for all of the original beads and helped restore every bit of the original lace. When I saw it I almost cried. When my mother-in-law saw it again, she did cry. She thought after two weddings there was no possible way to bring it back to life but we were so so so wrong. Oakwood has restored the dress of both of our dreams and has made it an heirloom that we will try to continue to pass down. Oakwood now has a place in my family forever and we can not thank them enough.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Oakwood cleaners takes gown care to another level. They have an amazing team of people who specialize in making sure the gown is ready for the walk down the aisle and then it's prepared to be stored for years to come. Preservation is a huge part of their business and they are my top pick in the city!

As a wedding professional, a former bride and multi-bridesmaid, Oakwood Cleaners has never failed! Deneal made my wedding dress a perfect fit - working with delicate Chantilly lace and hand sewn pearls - it was perfect. As a bridesmaid, my many alterations were fast and perfect. After my wedding, Oakwood cleaned my dress and it came back spotless, after hours of dancing and pictures that night. This is the BEST place in Nashville for wedding gown alterations, cleaning and preservation. Don't look anywhere else!
