Wedding dress preservation

Following for info

I had mine preserved in March after getting married in October. If you can, ask the salon where you purchased your dress who they recommend. The bridal shop I used had a company they used exclusively and because we bought my dress there, we got a discount. If your salon doesn't have one specific company they use, they should be fairly familiar with some of the options in your area - I'm sure they get asked that a lot!

Price wise, preserving my dress, garter, veil, hanger and hairpieces was about $250 including having it shipped to my home when it was completed.

Exactly what Melissa said. I went with the company my bridal shop recommended.

I used happily ever gown preservation. It is the same company that the knot uses for dress cleaning and preservation, but it a better price if you go through them directly. They send a kit for you to ship your dress, veil, and shoes in. They take pictures of the progress and send it back to you all clean and preserved. They did a great job on my dress and were really easy to use.

Daughter searched online/Yelp for dry cleaners that do wedding dress cleaning/preservation. Based on reviews she started calling around. She found a cleaner she felt good about that charged her $150 (a fairly elaborate lace and tulle a-line ballgown with beaded straps & belt).

I had my gown preserved about a month after we got married in September. I used a service through David's Bridal and things turned out just fine. I didn't want anything fancy, I just wanted it cleaned and protected for storage. I got a nice box with a clear window to see in, and it's wrapped in plastic wrap. I think the whole thing (a basic package) cost me less than $100.
