I am well overdue for posting these beautiful photos of our bride Heyward…she was married last May! I think it was worth the wait to share these images of Heyward in her custom designed gown. She wore a champagne embroidered belt and chose muted pink, blush, and champagne tones for her color palette.
We also dressed her lovely mother, Wendy, and delightful group of bridesmaids!

We so enjoyed having Ashley, her mother & her sister in the shop as they prepared for Ashley’s November 2011 wedding. She looked stunning in her gown and Erin Sage Photography captured amazing images from her wedding day.
Enjoy!

Hello there! We wanted to share just a bit of information on the cleaning & preservation services we offer. We have partnered with the Wedding Gown Preservation Company to assist our brides in having their gowns cleaned & preserved after their wedding day. Just bring your gown in to us, we will send it off, and they will ship it back to you!
The Wedding Gown Preservation Company was founded in 1913, and remains a third generation family owned company. Their cleaning method has been recognized by International Fabric Institute as the best method in the gown preservation industry.
100 Year Guarantee
At the Wedding Gown Preservation Company your gown is professionally cleaned and preserved by their Certified Specialists. In very rare instances, a gown will yellow over a period of time…in the unlikely event that this occurs, the company will reprocess your gown at no additional charge. If they are unable to get out the yellow, your money for the original preservation will be refunded in full.
**Note: store your gown in a cool, dry area! NEVER store in attic or basement!!
Preservation Process
1. First thing when your wedding gown arrives, it is checked in and then thoroughly inspected for stains and repairs.
2. Your gown is then hand cleaned along the hem, neckline and underarms.
3. Stains and spots are specifically treated to gently remove them from your gown. Any “sugar” stains are specially treated.
4. Your wedding gown is then individually cleaned, including our exclusive process to keep your gown from yellowing.
5. A thorough re-inspection then takes place. If any problems remain the gown is re-cleaned.
6. Any needed repairs are made.
7. Your gown is then individually hand pressed.
8. The gown’s bodice is shaped and put on an acid-free bust form for display.
9. The bodice and skirt are layered with acid free tissue paper.
10. Your gown is then carefully placed in an acid free windowed display box and completely sealed to keep out insects and humidity.
11. The display box is placed inside a white storage box and then both of these boxes are placed in a protective shipping box and shipped pre-paid to you via UPS.

Please give us a call if we can help you with preserving your wedding gown!

Monica was truly one of the most kind and excited brides we have seen this year! She even had the most adorable cookies made for each of her bridesmaids when she asked them to be part of her wedding. I think this photo sums up her emotion perfectly….
Thank you, Monica, for letting us share in your special day!! Her beautiful photos were done by Carolina Photosmith, and more are posted to our Facebook page.
Enjoy!
