We have several different processes that are used for cleaning wedding gown. Each wedding gown is evaluated upon its arrival and the best cleaning process for that particular wedding gown is used. All of our processes are safe, gentle and environmentally safe. Your wedding gown is then fitted on an acid-free bust form and packed in our acid-neutral preservation chest. Please note shoulder pads and bust pads must be removed as they could cause damage to the wedding  gown over time. They will be wrapped in tissue paper and packed underneath your gown.  

Our Boston wedding dress preservation service is designed to tackle a wide range of stains, ensuring your gown remains as pristine as the day you wore it. We are able to remove approximately 95% of all stains, including tar, blood, perspiration, grass, mud, grease, and food. We also specialize in removing sugar stains from cake icing, as well as wine and other beverage stains. Our expert team employs advanced techniques and processes to provide the best wedding dress preservation, giving you peace of mind that your cherished gown is in capable hands.

The gown will be shipped in a display case with a window, allowing you to view your gown and veil. Any other items will be positioned at the bottom of the window, where possible, or packed underneath your dress. Our Boston wedding dress preservation service ensures that your gown is not only preserved to the highest standards but also presented beautifully upon arrival.

You may also send items such as your veil, headpiece, gloves, garter, moneybag, handkerchief, slip, flower girl gown, etc. Additional fees may apply. 

Wedding Gown Preservation Company prides itself on having a highly trained staff that can handle most repairs for a nominal fee. Please note on your paperwork if you would like a call with a repair quote. The process involves a detailed inspection of the gown, followed by gentle cleaning to remove stains and impurities. After cleaning, the dress is carefully packed in acid-free tissue paper and placed in a preservation box to protect it from light, dust, and humidity.

Please allow 4-10 weeks to receive your gown back, ensuring that it receives the individual attention it deserves. Generally, the preservation process takes between 4 to 8 weeks. This timeframe allows for thorough cleaning, careful inspection, and proper packaging to ensure your gown is preserved to the highest standards. If you need your gown preserved within a specific timeframe, please contact us, and we will do our best to accommodate your request. Our Boston wedding dress preservation service is dedicated to providing you with exceptional care and attention to detail.

YES! We provide a 100 year guarantee against caramelized sugar stains or yellowing. If at anytime your gown is found to have yellowed or has caramelized stains we will reprocess the gown at no additional cost. If reprocessing is found to be unsuccessful we will refund the preservation cost. REMEMBER: Never store your gown in the attic or basement.

Once you have your kit, you simply fill out the enclosed Pre-Paid order form, use the materials provided to pack up your gown, and attach the Pre-Paid Ground shipping label. Please Note: An adult signature will be required when your gown is delivered back to you. This is done for the protection of your gown.

No, you do not need to have your gown cleaned before sending it to us. At I Do Wedding Boston, our wedding dress preservation service includes professional cleaning. Our experts will thoroughly clean your gown to remove any stains, dirt, or oils before proceeding with the preservation process. This ensures your gown is meticulously prepared and preserved to the highest standards.
