Safeguard your gown’s beauty and legacy with our renowned wedding dress cleaning and preservation services. Trusted by over three million brides since 1913, we’ve perfected a restoration process that provides exceptional care for every gown.
Delivering Your Wedding Gown Back to Your Home
Once your bridal gown undergoes a thorough examination, cleansing, and restoration, it will be delicately stored in the Preservation Chest. Following this, it will be skillfully packed into our robust, dual-layered, waterproof, high-quality shipping container, ensuring a secure journey back to your residence. This way, you, your family, and generations to come can relish its beauty.
Cleaning and Preserving Notifications Completed
Once your finalized bridal gown is prepared for shipment to your residence, you'll get an email notification sent to the account used for ordering the Wedding Dress Preservation Kit. This email includes your UPS tracking number, allowing you to monitor your dress's location during its brief return journey home. Utilize our GownTrackerâ„¢ system at any point during the preservation to stay informed about the current status of the cleaning and preservation stages of your wedding dress.
Reliable and Protected Delivery Straight to Your Home
We ensure the protection of your wedding dress with multiple layers of top-tier packaging and shipping containers as it makes its way back to your home. Your Preservation Chest, equipped with a viewing window, is additionally encased in our resilient Wedding Dress Preservation Storage Chest, safeguarding it during its storage period.
For the concluding trip to your home, both the Preservation Chest and Storage Chest are enclosed securely within our double-wall shipping container designed for commercial-grade durability. This shipping container, virtually indestructible, is resistant to water and capable of withstanding crushing forces, ensuring the highest level of safeguarding for your gown as it travels.
Wedding Dress Inspection
Upon receiving your wedding gown at home, we recommend conducting a gentle examination of your cleaned and preserved attire. Our packaging facilitates easy access to the lower part of the Preservation Chest, enabling you to inspect the hem, which tends to accumulate the most dirt after a joyous wedding celebration. Additionally, you can visually assess the rest of your wedding dress and accessories through the viewing window on the Preservation Chest.
Within the Wedding Dress Preservation Kit, you'll find white gloves designed for your inspection. They serve to safeguard the pristine fabrics of your wedding dress by preventing any transfer of oils or contaminants from your hands. Additionally, the kit provides extra sealing squares to reseal the Preservation Chest once you've completed the inspection.
Reminder: Removing your wedding dress entirely from the Preservation Chest will render our 100-year warranty null and void. If the dress is separated from the chest and bust, we cannot assure that new stains won't be transferred, possibly resulting in yellowing in the future.
Guidelines for Safely Storing Your Preserved Wedding Gown
Place your Preservation Chest in the sturdy storage box provided, and store it in a cool, dry place - refrain from keeping it in an attic, garage, or basement. Opt for a storage environment for your wedding dress that aligns with your comfort. Always remember, that your wedding gown incorporates some of the most delicate textiles in the industry, necessitating tender care and affection during prolonged storage.
FAQ on Wedding Dress Shipping
Do I need to sign when my wedding dress is delivered to my house?
Yes, indeed. A signature is a requirement (considering it's your cherished wedding dress!), but if you can't be home during the delivery period, you have the option to contact UPS and make arrangements for them to keep your gown at their facility. UPS usually attempts delivery three times before resorting to holding your shipment. You also have the flexibility to schedule your delivery time with UPS when your gown is in transit.
Can my cleaned and preserved wedding dress be shipped to a PO Box?
Regrettably, we are unable to send the Wedding Dress Preservation Kit to PO Boxes or APO’s due to its size and specific characteristics.
Is it possible to re-preserve my wedding gown if it suffered damage from storage-related issues like floods, smoke, mold, etc.?
Certainly, we have experienced re-preserving dresses affected by those situations and various natural disasters. Kindly contact us in advance, providing detailed information about the damage to your wedding dress.
