. . . because you love your gown! Before or after your wedding, you can trust Orange Restoration Labs to give very special care to your very special gown. If your gown needs pressing or cleaning and mending before the wedding, call us. When we clean your gown after the wedding, you are invited to inspect it, and then, while you watch, your gown is layered with acid-free tissue and folded into a museum-quality, acid-free wedding chest. Our preservations include a written international guarantee that your gown will not yellow or have caramelized sugar stains, white gloves for safe handling, and pressing at no charge when your gown is to be used again. Orange Restoration Labs also offsets all carbon emissions with donations to Carbonfund.org so your gown preservation is a green gown preservation, too.

When I was first looking for a restoration venue to clean and pack away my dress, I didn't have to shop far. I was very impressed with the reviews on Orange Restoration Labs and when I reached out the response was immediate within 1 hour. The intake is done at her home and the dress is then taken to her store. It was ready within a few short weeks. I appreciated being able to look at the dress and inspect it before paying and before it was packed away. This ensured (1) it was done correctly, (2) it was my dress and (3) you see the care, time and dedication Sally uses for all dresses. It is her passion and while the price is a little high, it is worth the price.

Thanks so much, Amanda. It's a beautiful gown, and the belt you added was the perfect touch! And your veil was the perfect one to go with the belt.

Restored my vintage tiara and evaluated my vintage wedding gown.
Orange Restoration restored my vintage tiara (circa 1957 from my parents’ wedding) so my daughter could wear it. This required cleaning the pearls, replacing missing rhinestones and re-shaping the crown. She did a wonderful job and took special care not to let the wire frame rust. I was very pleased with the results. She also evaluated my Mom’s wedding gown and gave her honest opinion that it didn’t need the color restored as it was in very good shape. I appreciated her honesty.

Wedding gown is fully restored, beautiful again!
My daughter hoped to wear my mother's 75 year old wedding gown. The satin had darkened quite a bit but, it is sentimental for us. My older sister wore it, I wore it and now, my daughter will be the 4th bride to wear it.
Sally treated a matching headpiece first, to allay our fears about what the original color would look like. Sally expected candlelight white and she was absolutely correct. She restored the dress to its original beauty. We're delighted!

I, too, was delighted to be part of your family's wonderful tradition. The gown is absolutely beautiful and very close to the style of today's gowns with sleeves. Thanks for trusting us to care for it.
Orange Restoration really is the best in the industry! Don't trust your gown to just any dry cleaner- go to the best in the biz...and that is Sally at Orange Restoration Labs! You will be thrilled you did!
