Wedding Gown Cleaning and Preservation

A wedding dress is unique. A gown of sheer beauty, needing endless hours of impassioned searching, trying on and deciding, worn only once, a symbol of the woman's adoration, purity and love, cherished for a lifetime and often passed on to the progeny of that love. It is more than a dress, more than a gown and needs cleaning in special ways, with special care, handled with the affection it deserves. And you will want to preserve your gown, keep it like new for a lifetime in a beautiful, specially made chest with transparent covering for full viewing. Cleaned and protected: A great moment captured for a lifetime.

At Greensleeves Garment Care we will clean your wedding gown with the care it deserves. It will be thoroughly inspected for loose beads, sequins and other adornments and each will be hand tended to by a professional tailor, making sure they are properly secured. Next, a certified stain removal expert will treat any spots or marks (like Champaign spills or cake smudges). After it has been fully prepared, it will be dry cleaned by itself in a non-toxic dry cleaning solution, safer and healthier than organic or any other method of dry cleaning today. The solution used will be a virgin solution, unused previously for the best cleaning and the brightest, purest white finish.

After cleaning, your gown will be hand finished by the finest of pressers, artisans in their craft, for a perfectly finished wedding gown.

Now that your gown is beautifully cleaned and pressed it will be preserved in a gorgeous gold foil or white chest made especially for your gown, protected with acid free tissue paper. Each chest has a clear cellophane window that will allow you to open it up and view your gown without exposing it to the everyday humidity that could be harmful and cause yellowing. A cotton over wrapper is provided to further protect your gown from moisture while stored.

Museum quality preservation is available. Your gown is stored in an air tight chest, similar as above with window in gold foil or white. The atmosphere is removed and replaced with pure nitrogen. This kind of preservation is ideal for long term assurance and is guaranteed for life.
