How to Safely Pack and Send Your Wedding Dress for Preservation?

Once you get your Wedding Dress Preservation Kit, unpack it and check your order details before sending your dress to our preservation facility.

Step 1 - Verify Your Order Details

Review your pre-filled order form to make sure your information is correct. When placing your order online, you can use a different return address. We also provide an alternative delivery card for updates. 

Use this opportunity to upgrade your preservation kit by completing the personalization form and making payment through a check or online methods.

Step 2 - Use Stain Stickers for Specific Spots

Use the fabric-safe stain stickers to mark any spots that need extra care, like makeup smudges or food stains. Avoid marking the hemline, as our team will clean it carefully. 

Only use the provided stickers since they are safe for your dress fabric. Even if you don’t use the stickers, our team will still inspect and clean your dress thoroughly.

Step 3 - Assemble the Shipping Container

Follow the easy steps to assemble the crush-resistant shipping box. Place your wedding dress and up to five accessories in the waterproof poly bag provided. 

Add the white and yellow copies of your order form (keep the pink one, the optional delivery card, and if needed, your personal check for upgrades. Seal the bag with the twist tie, then place it in the box.

Tip: Attach the UPS shipping label outside the bag and box for easy tracking.

Step 4 - Attach the UPS Shipping Label

Tear off the bottom part of the pre-paid UPS shipping label and stick it on the back of the pink order form. Keep the pink copy for your records, as it has the shipping details and tracking number.

Step 5 - Seal the Shipping Box

Fold down the two flaps labeled “A” on the box, and then fold the two flaps labeled “B” over them. Wet the adhesive side of the tape with water and sponge then stick it on the area marked “Tape.” 

After that place the pre-paid UPS shipping label in the spot marked “Affix Shipping Label Here.”
