Most wedding dresses are made from delicate fabrics like silk, lace, or satin, and they often have intricate details, including beads, sequins, or embroidery. These materials are incredibly fragile and can quickly deteriorate if they’re not cared for properly. By preserving your wedding dress, you’re protecting it from:
A professional preservation service like Bride n Queen can help keep your dress in pristine condition, ready to be enjoyed for years to come.
The first step to properly cleaning and preserving your wedding dress is finding a specialist. Not all cleaners have the expertise needed to handle delicate fabrics or intricate dress designs. That’s why it’s essential to choose a company that specializes in wedding dress care. At Bride n Queen, we understand how much your dress means to you and take every measure to protect it.
Here’s what to look for in a wedding dress preservation specialist:
When it comes to wedding dress cleaning, there are a few different methods. Not every method is safe for every dress, so it’s crucial to find a provider that can choose the right technique based on your dress’s material and embellishments. Here are some popular options:
Wet Cleaning: This involves using water-based solutions and is often the best option for natural fibers like silk. Wet cleaning is ideal for gowns with stains from food, makeup, or sweat. Bride n Queen offers this option, tailoring our cleaning solutions to each dress.
Dry Cleaning: While it sounds like it doesn’t use liquid, dry cleaning involves a solvent-based method that’s best for synthetic materials. Some dresses respond better to dry cleaning, but it’s essential that the cleaner uses a gentle solvent, which we always do at Bride n Queen.
Eco-Friendly Cleaning: Many brides are concerned about the chemicals used in traditional cleaning. That’s why Bride n Queen offers an eco-friendly cleaning process, using safe, organic solutions, like our coconut water-based formula, that’s gentle on your gown and the environment.
Once your dress has been cleaned, proper preservation is the next step. Wedding dress preservation is designed to protect your gown from the natural elements that could cause damage over time. Here’s how Bride n Queen ensures your gown stays beautiful for generations:
Acid-Free Tissue Paper: This prevents creases and helps keep delicate fabrics from breaking down. We carefully layer your dress with acid-free tissue to avoid yellowing.
Sealed, Museum-Quality Boxes: The box used for preservation matters. Our boxes are museum-grade, ensuring no light or air exposure that could harm your gown.
Vacuum Sealing vs. Loosely Sealed Boxes: Depending on your preference and the needs of the dress, we offer both vacuum-sealed and loosely sealed preservation. At Bride n Queen, we’ll help you choose the best option based on your storage plans.
When it comes to wedding dress preservation, it can be tricky to know where to turn, especially with so many options available. Here are a few ways to locate a reliable service:
Online Reviews: Look for customer reviews on trusted platforms like Google or WeddingWire. Positive feedback from other brides can give you confidence in your choice.
Consult Local Bridal Shops: Bridal shops often partner with preservation specialists and can recommend trustworthy services. Many bridal shops work with Bride n Queen because of our attention to detail and commitment to quality.
Nationwide Service Providers: Some companies offer mail-in preservation services, making it easy for brides from anywhere to access high-quality gown care. Bride n Queen offers convenient mail-in services with insured, two-way shipping, so you can rest assured your gown is safe throughout the process.

Here are answers to some common questions brides have about wedding dress preservation:
Q: How soon after my wedding should I have my dress preserved?
Ideally, you should have your dress cleaned and preserved as soon as possible—within a month if you can. This minimizes the risk of stains setting and fabric damage. However, even if some time has passed, Bride n Queen can still help restore and preserve your gown.
Q: What if my dress has already yellowed?
Yellowing is a common problem, especially with older gowns. Bride n Queen specializes in restoration services that can help lift yellowing and bring back your gown’s original beauty.
Q: Can I clean my dress at home instead of sending it to a professional?
While it might seem tempting to try a DIY approach, most wedding dresses are too delicate for at-home cleaning methods. Professional cleaning, especially by a service like Bride n Queen, ensures the best possible outcome for your gown.
When you choose Bride n Queen for your wedding dress preservation, you’re getting more than just a service—you’re getting peace of mind. Here’s a breakdown of our process:

Expert Stain Treatment: Any stains are treated carefully with our gentle, organic solutions, targeting specific types of stains without damaging the fabric.
Organic Cleaning Process: Our eco-friendly cleaning formula removes dirt and oils, leaving your dress clean without any harsh residues.
Preservation and Packaging: After cleaning, your dress is carefully packaged using acid-free materials and placed in a museum-quality box for long-term storage.
Two-Way Insured Shipping: We know your dress is valuable, so our shipping service is insured both ways, protecting your gown throughout the process.
