Your wedding gown is a precious possession. It holds the memories of one of the greatest days in life and treating it with special care is essential. It does not matter if your dress is old, new, borrowed or blue. Your Wedding Dress deserves attention after the big day. Greythorn’s Wedding Gown cleaning service will help preserve your dress!
Today, Wedding gowns are made from a wide variety of fabrics. The gown you have selected may be satin, taffeta, chiffon, organza, brocade, and lace. The gown may be accented with delicate trims, such as beads, crystals, sequins, embroidery, silk flowers, and appliqué, all of which require special care.
Greythorn Dry Cleaners has had the privilege of caring for gowns of every type and style, however, it is important that we inspect your gown carefully and discuss problems or concerns you may have before cleaning and preparation of the gown for safekeeping. We would like the privilege of completing this care and suggest that the cost of our services be included as
part of your wedding budget.
Heirloom Wedding Gown Cleaning
Wearing an heirloom can make your special day that much more memorable. Allow at least a month for professional care as well as any alterations. Typically older gowns need more attention than newer ones since many fabrics naturally yellow with age. Generally, old stains may not respond to our professional treatments. Before you decide to wear a cherished heirloom, allow staff at Greythorn Dry Cleaners to assess and discuss the pros and cons of dry cleaning an heirloom wedding dress with you.
After the Wedding
whether having worn a new gown or a cherished heirloom, most brides want to preserve their gown. The most visible symbols of that special moment in time as well as preserving the opportunity for their own daughter to
wear on her wedding day. That’s why it is important to allow us to clean and repair rips and tears as soon as possible and before storing.
Stains cause fibre damage and become more difficult to remove the longer they remain on the fabric. You may think your gown has no stains and is okay to put away without cleaning. Don’t do it. Food and beverage stains (perhaps not even immediately visible), body oils, and make-up are common stains. If not carefully addressed soon after the big day, they may prove impossible to safely remove—even by our skilled personnel. Drycleaning & Laundry Institute experts confirm that a gown once worn should be carefully cleaned before it is stored.
