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.
