Services Offered
If you are interested in cleaning your wedding gown before or after the wedding, Orange Restoration Labs has the right service for you. They hand spot your gown to prevent color fade and carameized sugar stains. If you are having your gown preserved, you personally inspect your gown before it is placed in an acid-free, museum-quality wedding chest with a window. Acid-free tissue buffers the folds of the gown and keeps it in place. If your vintage gown is yellowed and stained, Orange Restoration Labs can remove those stains and restore the gown to its original color. Orange Restoration Lab offers free consultations for all potential clients. Ask about free pressing before the wedding.

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!

Sally is beyond amazing, her responsiveness with email is wonderful. Her work speaks for itself! I had brought her my grandmothers gown (in a box for 60+ years yellowed, all the lace was 'crunchy') Sally worked her magic and it is like a brand new dress! I highly highly recommend Orange Restorations Labs for any of your wedding dress needs!
