YOUR
ONCE IN A LIFETIME GOWN ... SHOULD LAST A LIFETIME!
Your
wedding gown is one of your most precious possessions. It
is the symbol of an important event in your life and should
be treated with care. With the careful planning and expense
that goes into selecting the perfect gown, many brides
choose to heirloom their dress as a keepsake. This not
only preserves the gown but preserves the dream of passing
it down perhaps to a daughter or close friend.
While
a gown may be worn just one day, and may not appear soiled,
it will require careful cleaning. Hidden soiling includes
perspiration and body oils. Long gowns will pick up soil
along the hemline and train and very likely, there will
be food and beverage spills. Some stains, which are not
immediately visible, will develop with age through oxidation
causing discoloration, fabric weakness, and damage to
the gown.
Our wedding gown specialists carefully examine every gown,
establishing the most suitable method of cleaning. Inspections
are made at every stage of the cleaning and preservation
process. Each wedding gown receives special and individual
handling, with attention given to every detail.
HEIRLOOM
PRESERVATION…
Our
newly designed museum quality storage boxes feature state
of the art moisture and oxygen control technology. Traditional
and “home style” wedding gown storage boxes do not protect
or guarantee against oxidation or “yellowing” of the gown. Our
advanced system guarantees that your gown will be as good
as the day you wore it down the aisle.
HERE'S
HOW ...
Your dress is carfully sealed in an acid-free inner box
that controls humidity. The oxygen is purged and replaced
with an inert gas, virtually making oxidation impossible. Our
sealed packaging allows viewing of your gown and veil
at any time. The inner box is placed in a durable long-term
storage chest for additional safety.
OTHER KEEPSAKES ...
If you wish to have other keepsake wedding items preserved
such as veil, garter, shoes, bouquet, invitation, napkin,
etc., we make this option available so you can include
these keepsakes with your dress in a sealed acid-free
box.
