Weddings take a lot of careful planning and selection to ensure your special day fulfills your dream. An important tip to remember is the planning goes beyond the actual ceremony and reception. It requires consideration of post-event items. For example, what are you going to do with your dress? Does someone take it and hold it for you until you have time to deal with it? Hanging in a closet somewhere still stained and wrinkled from the day’s festivities? 

Preserving the memories of your wedding day is the primary reason you chose the best photographers and videographers to capture all those special moments. But preservation goes beyond just the pictures – it extends to maintaining your wedding dress as well. After all, you spent a lot of time and effort choosing just the right dress. And now you want to save it, perhaps for your own daughter. When deciding who to choose to preserve your wedding gown, why not ask the experts?

Asking those people who specialize in wedding gowns, accessories and event planning will give you the inside scoop on the best dry cleaner for your heirlooming process. These are the same people you trusted to help plan your wedding, so you know they are professional and have high standards.

The wedding festivities are over. Now it’s time to get your wedding gown cleaned. The question is how do you know who to trust with cleaning and preserving your wedding gown?

Start by finding a premier dry cleaning service that specializes in cleaning and heirlooming wedding gowns. And then ask lots of questions about the process! While we cannot speak to every dry cleaner’s process, at Bibbentuckers we give first-class treatment to the cleaning and preserving of your wedding gown. Let me share with you how it works:

Step One – Inspection

Our front counter staff is specially trained to understand the differences in various fabrics, and interpret unique care labels. This ensures that your wedding gown is cleaned in the most effective and safe way. After donning special gloves we use for handling your dress, our team inspects the dress with you to identify any stains or damage, and review typical problem areas, like hem lines.

Step Two – Cleaning

Your dress now goes to our specialty cleaning department. After performing a second visual inspection, our cleaning team will take a black light and examine your wedding dress for hidden stains. Our experts will do a spot clean by hand to make sure that all stains are treated properly. Your wedding gown is then cleaned using high-end equipment that has specific programs for handling your high-end garments. They are gentler, use less chemicals and less agitation to ensure your dress is handled with the utmost care.

After cleaning, our team will do another thorough inspection of the dress and perform any touchups that might be needed – by hand. The wedding gown is then ready to be pressed. Our team receives specialized training to make sure your dress is pressed to follow the designers’ original line and drape of the wedding gown.

Step Three – Heirlooming & Preservation

Our expert team only handles your dress using specialty white gloves so that no additional oils or dirt are deposited on your clean, beautifully pressed wedding gown. We never touch it with our hands! Now your gown is looking as good as new, and is ready to be preserved.

We use acid-free, museum quality packaging. Every dress is carefully packed away in our high-quality tissue and box. We place the entire box in a bag that is specifically designed to preserve your wedding gown. Now it is ready to be stored.

Final Step – Return Your Wedding Gown

Whether you want us to pick up your gown on the day of your wedding, or you wish to drop it off, we are delighted to take care of it for you. Upon completion of the cleaning and preservation, we can deliver your perfectly packaged wedding gown to your home (a small fee does apply).

Bibbentuckers is a premier dry cleaning service that specializes in cleaning and servicing wedding dresses. During the months of March through June, we will give all our bridal customers our custom heirloom cleaning and preservation for free. That is a $100 value that ensures your dress will be carefully cleaned and stored for the future. Plus, for a small upcharge we will pick up at your requested venue and deliver the cleaned, preserved dress to your home.
