Your Wedding: Make that Special Day Truly Unforgettable

There are a few things you should know before selecting a company to preserve your wedding gown. Beware of new and inexperienced companies who offer gown preservation and who claim to be able to duplicate The Bridal Conservatory’s fine apparel preservation results. Signs of deterioration or damage resulting from improper preservation methods become apparent after about two years of storage. Inferior cleaning methods do not include treating different stains with different cleaning agents. For instance, sugar stains previously invisible to the naked eye will appear as brown spots later when left untreated (rendering the fanciest storage containers useless). Inappropriate long-term storage methods and materials will leave fabrics brittle, yellowed, or riddled with fungus and insects — in other words, permanently damaged. And if you are told that your gown is to be packed once, therefore being “preserved forever” and never to be dealt with again — be wary. (Museum curators’ jaws will drop in disbelief!) Ask to see and inspect actual two year-old (or older) preserved gown samples (perhaps from customers from two years ago or more) and compare. To see is to believe.

There are a few things you should consider before selecting a company to preserve your bouquet. Foremost, beware of new and inexperienced companies offering preservation services and who claim to be able to duplicate The Bridal Conservatory’s floral preservation results. Flowers not preserved using professional treatment processes will eventually turn brown or black in time, with only traces of the original color. They also often fall apart in 6 to 12 months or begin to mold. Ask to see actual product samples (perhaps from customers from a year ago or more) and compare. Only The Bridal Conservatory can produce preserved flowers that look as fresh as the day you walked down the aisle with them. To see is to believe.

“This is quite possibly the most important, intricate, and beautiful dress you’ll ever wear–this piece of clothing makes you feel transformed, confident, positively blissful.”

With the rice and confetti swept away and the honeymoon pictures already returned from the photo lab, what’s a newlywed bride to do with her wedding gown? Your local dry cleaner can help by cleaning and thus preserving your gown after the Big Day, right? Not exactly. A treasure this special should be handled by experts in dress conservation who will protect it properly so that a bride who wears it in the future (your sister, niece, or daughter) will look as beautiful in it as you did. At The Bridal Conservatory we have created a method of fine apparel preservation that uses techniques developed by museum professionals in the US. We combine this knowledge with years of professional garment-care experience to ensure your wedding gown receives the same detailed attention given to exhibition couture and museum dress collections.
