The Preservation Process

The Wedding Gown Preservation Company puts the highest degree of professional care into the preservation process.

They use proven formulas to remove spots and treat the entire gown, before it is thoroughly cleaned, with extra attention given to the neckline, trim and hemline.

Their experts shape the gown , position it on a full bust form and fill the sleeves. it is then fited carefully into a preservation chest with an acid-free display window.

The preservation chest is then enclosed in a 700 lb. test shipping carton..

Your gown is then shipped to you pre-paid anywhere in the Continental US via UPS.

The preservation process will be completed 2-10 weeks after the gown is received.

FYI: During the height of our busy season, the preservation process may take slighly longer. Repair or additional services requested may also extend the processing time.
