Beware of Cheap Wedding Gown Preservation Offers

If you have done much research you probably have found some discounted wedding gown preservation services. Sometimes it's a local dry-cleaner offering a gown cleaning special. Maybe you saw an ad in a magazine or on the internet for $69 or $99.

Look out! Read the fine print! Almost always these low priced specials are not actually for gown preservation, they are for the box only. They call it a wedding gown preservation box BUT you're the one responsible for cleaning your dress yourself and then you can use this "special" box to it in.

These special prices can also be for a "do it yourself" cleaning kit. The kit will include the storage box, some acid free tissue or muslin to wrap the wedding dress in, maybe even a home dry cleaning packet like "Dryel" to use in your home dryer.

You'll find many of these special priced do it yourself cleaning and or storage boxes on eBay. They look similar to real preservation kits, but aren't.

Make sure you're comparing "apples for apples", you'll find that real wedding gown preservation kits contains everything you need to take care of your wedding gown. You send your gown to the company to be hand inspected by specially trained technicians. They will pay special attention to the hem and top of the bodice areas, cleaning them by hand.

Spot cleaning is done for all stains. And they will use a special "anti-sugar" treatment for your gown. This treatment removes the residues from wine, soda, cake and food that may be on your dress. These spots will yellow quickly if not properly treated.

Your local dry-cleaner cannot do this. Their service and quality is limited.
You'll notice that professional wedding dress preservation can cost as much as $490, but usually averages between $189 - $249. Be careful and not over pay to have your dress preserved. Many online websites offer exactly the same service at various prices. Check it out carefully - no sense paying more for the same service.

When choosing a wedding gown preservation company, find one that has been in business for a long time. You want a company that has a sound reputation, and a company that offers a minimum 20 year guarantee with their preservation service.

Shop and compare. All professional wedding gown preservation companies use the same procedures. Compare, talk with someone at the companies if you have any questions call the gown preservation hotline 425-449-1551
