Every gown is priced individually. Heavy soiling and extensive beadwork are not the only things that change the price — size does too. Long trains, full ballgown skirts, and heavily layered dresses take more hand work and more material to preserve, so they are quoted accordingly. Bring the dress in or send a photo and we will give you an exact number before any work begins. All packages include free pickup & delivery.

Common Questions
How soon after the wedding should I bring in my dress?
Within four to six weeks. Stains like champagne and clear soda are invisible at first but oxidize into permanent yellow marks over time. The sooner, the better.
How long does preservation take?
Typically two to three weeks for our Heirloom and Couture packages — that's the time a careful job takes. On a deadline? Tell us. We can move as fast as you need.
Can I see my dress before it's sealed?
Absolutely. We invite every bride in for a final inspection before we wrap and seal the box. It's your gown — you should see it spotless first.
Do you work with veils, shoes, and other accessories?
Yes — veils are included in our Couture package, and we can clean and box shoes, gloves, and garters as add-ons.
